If you google "Costco Clermont" you will indeed see an official Costco post announcing that store opening November 14. Closer for those of us in the southern areas, so we will be joining. Only a little difference in time than getting to BJ's or Sam's up by Spanish Springs. Fine once a month jaunt.

If they build one closer eventually, great. But until I see it on their website, it's just speculation.

No, they actually are putting one in Spanish Springs, one in LSL, Brownwood and Middleton. 4 in total

You can buy in bulk from your golf carts.

Can we also buy the cart there?

A great stock to own

I go through a 48 pack of Charmin in a week.

Yet another COSTCO rumor thread. FACT.

Like the “uh-oh, I’m gonna say it, the dog poop threads”. Funny, that thread has died lately. 🤔

A retiree can still stock up on high quality but well priced toilet paper, kleenex and paper towels. If you're at the point that you don't think you'll ever go through it, you probably shouldn't buy unripe bananas either then.

LOL I'll be joining for the meat. Costco generally has whole briskets, and 3 packs of ribs for great prices. When I get the smoker going, everyone in the neighborhood will make sure that food is gone before they need to worry about the grim reaper.

[Rwirish]

Let’s hope not. Something else we don’t need- a Costco.
