Great minds think alike.. I hope they build a Costco in the Villages before we get there. They have NOTHING but great steaks. Not quite butcher shop quality but better than we can get at our grocery stores.

NOTHING like Costco. I'm very spoiled here - we have one 5 minutes away. In TV it's about an hour drive. I guess when you're retired you can stick a cooler in your car and make it a day trip, but would rather have one out my back door.

We'll do a taste test with Costco & Sam's Club Steaks. You are going to pick Sams as better every time or my name isn't Nothing McNucky! Sams cooks in the car on the way home no cooler needed.

NOTHING doing ! Chop meat & chicken for us. Steak only when it’s a BOGO, then it’s a go.

We don't have a Sam's Club anywhere near us. But I can't imagine anything associated with Walmart can be better than Costco.. I've been surprised by NOTHING before though.

Costco is a legend in it’s own
mind. Canned, frozen, refrigerated, produce, vitamins,
electronics etc. are all the name brand same. Been there done that. I do as the Roman’s do, shop at Sam’s Club
as the other NOTHINGS do.
Bottom line...NOTHINGS can
live without Costco, in fact ALL can live without Costco. I’m not “consumer” oriented and refuse to get wrapped up in the newest or latest or bestest. I know what works or doesn’t, that’s all that really matters. It works for me and that’s good enough for me.

I'm an "If it ain't broke don't fix it" kind of guy. I've shopped at Costco almost my entire life and have been NOTHING but satisfied.

As a plus, I book our cruises through Costco because they give back a generous amount of their commission as onboard credit. The Caribbean cruise we just went on they kicked back $810. That's NOTHING to shake your head at.

We don't argue, we discuss..

When we get to The Villages I'll have you guys over for one of my famous Costco standing rib roast dinners.. You'll leave with NOTHING but a smile on your face.

You're on! I'll bring NOTHING to contribute to the meal. J/K.....that will be W and Nucky's contribution until they find out you're right. I'll bring some favorite Costco sides and dessert just to further the point.

And jsw14 says he'll pick-UP the scraps so he's on clean-UP. Party planned...lol

I am not looking to BEEF with anyone. My real message was if you can't get to Costco then Sam's will fill you up equally as well. Nothing doing with any beefing.

When the kids were younger anytime there was an argument like Coke vs. Pepsi or which bottled water was better we would set up a taste test. Our middle son asked once on a dreary Sunday afternoon, hey dad what did you old people do for fun back in the stone ages? I told him we would shave our head clean or eat Gold Fish. He said he was in but this kid was sharp and asked how much it was worth for each event. I think we settled on $20 for shaving his head and $50 for the Gold Fish trick. He knocked out the haircut in about 15 minutes and it was one of the most memorable laughs of my life. Then it was the Gold Fish. He was having second thoughts but his older brother was sharp and went to the Pet Store and bought 20 fish. By now the entire neighborhood was in our house to watch him execute. He scooped them up in his hands and put them in his mouth and took a few chews before he machine-gunned them out into the kitchen sink. All 20 fish survived and I'm still waiting for my $50 for his inability to eat them all. Nothing but a good memory and now I see them doing this dopey stuff with their children along with staying busy with The Liberty Science Center and all the good places to build great childhood memories. Nothing but proud of them.
