Re: Costco Seems to save me at least $500 a year - Last 4 years compared.

I wonder if they'll do the same thing for one of those big packs of toilet paper.
- Well yes this toilet paper worked pretty good. But I just want the newer ones !
Well, I kinda doubt that.
I do think they have set some time limits on the returns, at least computers.
But, I don't know about the cameras. I'll have to ask the relative!
Maybe he will try it again?
You can get carried away though shopping at Costco, and if the stuff you buy
does not get used up or spoils, its not a "good" deal.
Recently they had Coho out of Alaska for $6.99 a pound which was the
same as what it was selling for at our Pike Place Market. I have a fondness for
salmon so I bought a few pounds. It was only slightly more expensive than the
"farm raised" Atlantic variety which they stock all the time.
Other things like bar soap, medicinals (Ibuprofen), certain wines, and beers,
Mikes hard lemonade (16 ouncers!), frozed veggies I thinkk are good buys.
I would think we spend somewhat less than CT, but a couple thousand a year.
And like some earlier posters, I just like the store, even if I am not buying anything.
And of course the free "lunch" is not a bad deal either. (Samples)
By the way, the hot dog/polish sausage plus drink for $1.50 was voted the
best lunch deal by one local TV station in a best of Seattle survey.
