COSTCO: Twelve Days and Counting
 
Less than two weeks to go, peoples. Doors open at 8:00 AM Wednesday, August 6.

I hope they realize that they'll need probably four times as many chickens as any other Costco.

I am all ready with an Executive Gold Star Membership and the like . But will probably wait a week or more before going.

Waiting for a while before going, going to be a madhouse on the first day.

I will probably avoid that area for a week or so. I mean the Hobby Lobby, Walmart, CVS side. Not the Publix, Ace Hardware area.

If I live to be 1000, I'll never figure out why Costco coming to TV is such a big deal ... nor why someone would have a calendar entry that says "get to Costco at 7 a.m., to buy a $5 chicken".

There will be more time and fuel money wasted with people lined up at Costco, than saved by shopping there.

Costco.com states opening date is 8/6.

I have shopped Costco in South Florida for years. My wife and I bought most of our casual clothes there. Now everyone in The Villages will be wearing the same thing.

i agree, that's all I hear is $5 chicken, like no one knows what other stores sell it for.... which is the same ballpark to not make any difference. I've heard it for 4 years, and then they stick the place is the worst location possible. if it's only there because people think it's the chicken then it's a waste of my time and effot. Unfortunately BJs screwed the pooch and gave us the worst BJs in Florida not to mention the worst manager also. I'll stick with the other places but not Publix I've managed to source everything without needing big box BS.
