November 14th 10 Am. See you there.

It’s so nice to see one about a half hour drive away. Adios Wesley Chapel

Half an hour? I live near Buena Vista and 466A, and my house is 55 minutes from Clermont. I’ll stick with Sam’s Club.

Actually, if you are referring to driving distance, from the Sawgrass Grove market to the Clermont Costco is about 30 miles. But, from the Sawgrass Grove market to Sam's Club is only 15 miles. This is according to Google Maps.

Yes, and might as well hit At Home and Trader’s too.

I was referring to time travel, not miles - for those in Lake Denham/Dabney, and the future villages around 470, it is only a 20 minute turnpike ride from 470 down to the Highway 50 exit in Clermont - add a few more minutes to drive to the Costco after exiting the turnpike, and “timewise” those folks can get to Costco quicker than driving surface roads up to BJS and Sam’s Club way up North - I’ve timed both.

No one would be foolish enough to go on opening day. It will be too crowded.

I know! I actually drove there thinking it was open a couple weeks ago and was so disappointed it wasn't done yet, lol. I've been going to Sam's Club and I don't like it anywhere near as much as Costco, mainly because of the Kirkland brand and because the meat in Sam's Club is not as good. I bought some sirloin steak from Sam's and it was not even 3/4 of an inch thick. I went to Sam's Club in Orlando and the New York strip was almost 2 inches thick.

Bet there are 30+ lights between the two and at least 2 road construction detours.

Far from being all the same. We use Sam's and Costco for different products. Tried BJ's again but just didn't measure up. Everyone has their own needs so if you think one is better than another go there, but by most National comparisons, they are not the same.

A great stock to own over the last couple of years. Time for a 3:1 or 4:1 split

I’m thinking about going to Costco/Sam’s Club but my husband says it’s not worth it, especially because you have to buy in such large quantities. I say they have a lot of things that you can’t find anywhere else. Who’s right?
