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?

We make the trek every once in a while, but do remember there is still COSTCO online and we use it quite a bit. Of course it's not for juice, shampoo, cereal, etc, but you can get good deals on some other items you might want or need.
I lived less than a mile from Costco in CA and it was where I did most of my shopping. I do miss the store and even though it's a full day's venture, I look forward to our southward journey to shop....and having Home Goods right across the street is an extra perk...
