Default am ordering some stuff from Costco



"Yes" wrote in message news
Earlier this year I found out that Costco allows non-members to order
items for 2-day delivery from a subset of the items they carry.

Fortunately for me, that includes canned V8 juice by the case. It
makes it convenient for me because I'm a pedestrian these days, and an
order gets delivered to my door step. A case containes 28 11.5 fl. oz.
cans and weighs around 22 lbs. Costco boxes them one case to a box.

My current order should arrive tomorrow and includes 5 cases plus a 20
oz package of cooked crumbled bacon bits. I tried the bacon out of
curiousity last time and found they worked quite well for me, uing them
as toppings and adding them for flavor to some other stuff I cooked.
Because they're already cooked, I don't have deal with cleaning up
after cooking bacon. That's a good enough reason for me to try them
again.

The downside is that Cosco requires an order to amount to at least $75
(U.S.) to qualify for free shipping. Costco also adds a 5% surcharge
to non-member purchases. At present, that still makes it cost
competitive and comes in just a bit cheaper than buying an equivalent
amount of the V8 46 fl oz cans (1 case of 28 11.5 fl oz cans = 7 46 fl
oz cans).

We don't have Costco here, but I hope it works out well for you
