u dont need a membership to purchase alcohol in CA................

 

I would have to agree with that only because there are people working there that were there when I 1st started going...

 

I like Costco. My wife prefers Sams.

 

I always buy my beer there, and sometimes wine. Love the cashews, about 1/3 the price of the tiny cans at the store. I also buy other food like shrimp and steaks, way cheaper. Drugs (the legal kind) are also less. It's just a good place to shop. But I always seem to buy 3 times the stuff I go there for, so watch out.

 

Oh and though I myself have never tried it... i've heard that the Pizza they sell at the Consession stand is AWESOME.

;-)

 

Ive bought seven jeans there for 100 dollars, which is cheaper than retail stores.

 

Haven't been there but after reading the article in a recent Fortune magazine, I'd pick it over the others any time.

I do 90% of my shopping online, so I don't have much use for Costco.

 

Most places, if anything, DON'T accept AMEX. It's weird that that's the only one they take.

 

they must have negotiated a deal with AMEX. here at my work AMEX costs us about 3% vs VISA and MASTERCARD costing us about 2%. that extra 1% adds up when you take $20,000 payments.

 

Food is awesome! Try the polish dog yummy! There's a Costco near my house and I usually go three times a week!
