Sol you have 7 days to post 15 fantastic Costco deals.

 

Merle you have 30 days to beat the prices. Must post your sources to use before Sol posts the deals.

That implies i have time to waste to prove something to strangers I'll never meet, I'm not sure that's a priority. :lol

 

If you guys like shopping those places, I'm not against it, if I had a membership, I'd pop in from time to time. I go to Target occasionally knowing they're sky high on most things.

 

I've said the vast majority of items that line their aisles are not true deals(better than the sale prices at non warehouse stores), there are deals to be had however, the next issue is could you save enough over the course of a year to recover the membership? Barring a major purchase, that's iffy as well.

Once again Merlin talking about something he doesn’t have a clue about

Why do you think business owners have carts loaded with smokes,chocolate bars,flour and sugar?

Also the produce sells case lots of veggies to restaurant owners that are cheaper than the wholesaler

Of course not everything is cheaper but a lot are

Because they need mass quantities and time is money. They aren’t searching sales ads and going to multiple stores to save trivial amounts of money.

Sorry you be wrong

Maybe in a big city like where you live, but in Victoria,stores are situated closer and it’s easy to comparison shop

Costco is cheaper on some items than getting it shipped from the wholesaler,plus most business’s owners do their personal shopping as well at the same time

Businesses can save a ton of money at costco, etc, they're alternative is buying from wholesalers that rip them off big time, that's not what I'm talking about at all.

 

For example where I live(MN), it's my understanding that bars pay more for liquor than they would pay at the liquor store, and it's illegal for them to buy their beer/liquor from non distributors(although it does happen).

We buy things for resale from Costco and Sams. Many food brokers don’t want to deal with the little guy, so they raise their minimum orders sky high.

I can easily make the minimum orders with my suppliers,fortunately I have delivery drivers on the road every morning so I send them to either Costco or The Wholesale Club once every couple of weeks to pick up items that are cheaper than my suppliers

We deal with five suppliers. We dropped a couple because of increasing the minimum orders, raised the shipping cost without telling us, or raised the price without telling us.

Don't need a membership if you have a gift card.   Speaking of which Fish next time are you there pick me up a $200 card?  Cheapest gas in town - we can settle up at the next Merrymen Monday Meetup.   :hat

They have cheap gas, but they dont take coupons, around here it evens out , sams and costco are cheaper, but when you factor in the 10 cents coupons and credit card rewards other stations have the same price - without driving across town to buy gas.

Cheaper gas can be obtained here through grocer fuel rewards and casino promos
