Honestly what's not to like about Costco, one of our favorite stores to shop and browse ~ BJ's second ! We go every 2 wks and among other necessities - I particularly like to get the pork loin and round beef roast to divide and freeze for meals, also love their bags of salmon, large bags of frozen veggies and fruits to divide in small pkgs and I like their VitaRain water. We also enjoy their fresh fruits, baked goods, beautiful bouquets of flowers and live plants, purchase all our vitamins there, our paper goods, sheets and towels, even our eye glasses are more reasonable there and am really enjoying my breathable mesh office chair ! DH likes to gas up there as it's always cheaper . We usually chg and pay off immediately, to get back a nice bonus check beginning of year too boot! Then after shopping, we've sometimes worked up an appetite for some of their yummy pizza :! Now, if ours were only open past 6pm on Sundays!?

I buy my coffee at Sam's . It is 15$ for 2.5 pounds, and it's fair trade. We use a french press, and it tastes really good. It's worth it for us to keep the membership just for the coffee !

We have both a Costco and a Sam's within 10 minutes, and have memberships to both. I prefer Costco and go there at least once a week. We were just there today as a matter of fact!

Refrigerated cups of grapefruit slices

We usually buy random stuff that they sample too. We can't seem to help ourselves.

Just last week we bought awesome bamboo flooring to put in my kids' bedrooms. We've also bought big screen TV's, patio furniture, cherry accent tables, ipods, iPads and even Calvin Klein capri pants. I think we've bought a little bit of everything over the years.
