Yep...

I have a business membership under my mother's account. Yay for parents? lol

Last time I went to a Costco was in Maryland (closest one to where I am in New York was 6 hours away in Toronto or NYC). Walked in intending to buy few things... Walked out having dropped over $500 buying non-perishable bulk stuff. I was like " well, that ain't good, ha ha..." And man, what a bitch it was trying to get it all to fit in my car even when I had all my stuff after having student-taught in Maryland.

If you want?


How do we go about a trial membership? They also do RV loans ***hint hint***


I checked their website and their prices for Formula and Diapers are not better than what we are paying now.

I don't believe they do a trial membership, but they will refund your cost of the membership at any time if you are not satisfied.

Yep... only $55 for a gold card...

Business is also $55

Executive is $110

*shrug* I think they lowered the price, actually... Cuz if memory serves me right, it used to be $110 for Gold and Business, and $175?? for Executive...

For some things, yes. Things you use a lot of and can store without it expiring. Toilet paper, paper towels, washer detergent, paper plates, snack items. We have a family of 6, but hardly go there. I find better deals clipping coupons and going to our local grocery store.

I'm an executive member and it is totally worth it. Cheap gas, cheap contacts, cheapish but very high quality food.

I just hate how much money I spend every time I go. I spend maybe 1/4th as much in a trip to Fred Meyer.

no costco near me now... but ive had a membership before that i split with a friend ($25 rather than $50).

i probably wouldnt buy another membership because i live by myself... buying crap there is meant for restaurants and fatty families. who the hell drinks 2-4 gallons of milk before it goes bad? i have problems finishing a half gallon myself.

i once bought toilet paper there and it lasted me for 1.5 yrs and then some.

Just demand a free membership. Flash a boob and you are in. Cutt I mean. If tessa flashes a boob too, you'll get the deluxe membership.

Dont worry I will give my opinion anyways.
The PvP MMO is NOT a "niche" market, Mythic is just a "niche" company.
