If you can afford two memberships, try BJ's as well (I got in on a
membership special and will renew at full price) if you have any in the
area. BJ's does carry King Arthur flour 10# $3.69, where I shop in
Fairfax, VA and in Palisades Shopping Center Exit 12 going north in NY on
Hwy 287 where I shop sometimes. Sometimes I get scared when they are down
to the last few bags and wonder if they will ever get any more, but they
haven't so far.

One year, some time ago Costco had the best 100% semolina in 25 or 50# bags.
I bought a bag. It was getting low and I asked if they would be getting
more. I listened to this guy who said, we'll always carry it. Of course --
they didn't ever carry it again. [And it was CHEAP, too!]

You know, maybe we are working this the wrong way around. There was one
time when I was successful getting a food product back into Costco and it
has been there ever since. I called and emailed the home office of the
producer, told them how much I loved their product, there wasn't another
around that was as good, there wasn't anywhere else I could get it, I'd been
a faithful customer for years, da-da,da-da, da-da, you get the idea. Would
they please work on Costco to carry it again? I actually feel guilty now
every time I walk past the sausages and don't buy a package. Oh, I
specified the particular Costco store to the sausage-maker home office.
