If I can go and walk around, see what they have and see prices I plan on
looking into this. I have heard alot of good about Costco (most of it
here lol) Had a membership to Sams but really found prices weren't
better (at least not on food) unless you bought in true "BULK"...I
personally wouldn't use 50 pounds of peanut butter before it went bad
*G* So I let the membership lapse...
