GOOD to KNOW …
that it will also be an uncrowded
pleasure to go Shopping at BJ’s
and Sam’s Club beginning Aug 6th

as I have never been a Big Fan of
Black Friday like Crowds fighting
over parking spots just so they can
go in to behave like rude scavengers
as though nobody else needs matter 😢

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

Pooper. 😂

There have been a number of threads on TOV where people have explained why they shop at Costco over just about any other store in its category. It's not just the pricing. In fact, some of the stuff is more expensive. It's the quality of the products they carry, like the Kirkland generic line. They also treat their employees pretty well (comparatively) and their return policy is second to none.

Double post but there's no way I can see to delete a post...

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

I drove past yesterday…they’re open!!!! At least the sign at the gas station says so…and there were cars out front.

Only the gas station is open. I checked the price difference in gas to the nearest gas station. It was $.18 a gallon cheaper if gas is a big deal to you.

I’m going to head to Clermont Costco on opening day here. Should be empty!!

Thanks for heads up, I’ll make sure I avoid the area.

Can we pitch a tent in the parking lot a day or two early so as to get in there real quick?

I just go down street to goodwill find same stuff for 1/6 price.

I am new to Costco so just learning the terms. I do worry about fraud though with so many scammers out there.


Mine was through something that came in the US Mail that looks legitimate and I think I got an e-mail from Costco soon after that said I would get a Membership card within two weeks or so.

I feel like I’m living in a third world country that’s getting its first bodega!

There are plenty of big box stores and supermarkets. What’s the big deal?

When they catch up with Sam's and figure out how simple app technology works, I may give them a try.
