That's why the wife and I who were constant Costco shoppers in N.J. let our $50.00 yearly membership lapse not too long after we moved here. The hour ride coupled with the fuel costs, and the half a day lost to accomplish the trek, didn't seem worth the trouble anymore. Especially since we weren't going to go as often as we would have liked to.
So, for $40 we joined Sam's Club. They had a promotion where you got $40 off your order so, in effect, it was free. They have a good enough selection of goods and services and they're right down the road.
I have emailed Costco to advise them of the huge market they're ignoring in this fastest growing area of Central Florida. Maybe if enough people do so?
