VBG Andy Andy, I never have that problem. Costco - two big thumbs up. The first year I'd ever heard of Price Club (Costco) and had just joined as recommended by a friend. We were invited to New Year's dinner at this friend's house, and they announced that everything on the table was from Costco. Not a bad spread, as I recall. I don't recall whether they sold alcohol in the Seattle area at the time, but it didn't matter as they were non-drinking persons. Dee Dee

And guaranteed if you go to Costco you will spend way more than the obligatory $25 to get free shipping. But most importantly, you can't get into an auto accident or get your car dinged in the parking lot sitting at your PC in your PJs... heck don't even need to bathe, comb your hair, or put on deodorant! heheh Whenever at all possible (and I wasn't going in that direction in the near future) mail order shopping from home is always my first choice... compared with my time, wear n' tear and fuel for my car, and road risk shipping charges never enter the equation.

Price Club was new to people and not everyone could join. I can see why people would find that interesting, hearing the buzz about the place yet not being able to go in. Having said that, I was amused when I found out Price Club was not named for their low prices but after the founder. nancy
