Techplayer that is irrelevant for the mere reason that those are comparable prices from the same source. Costco will mess up my statistics or may be the government wants me to go there and not count for the tear and wear of my car and gas expenses and then proclaim that inflation is dead <GGGGGGGG> as Costco prices are lower.

The prices there aren't as much of a good deal as they were a year or two ago. They're mostly comparable to the discount supermarkets and to the big box retailers. Super Walmart is a lot cheaper but is 50 miles away one-way. But you also have to account for the lesser quality of the produce at the warehouse clubs as well. Another thing to account for is how much of the goods are thrown out since they spoil or lose their taste before you're through. They were a great deal about a year or two ago but I've found they've been raising prices faster the last six months. Even the gas there isn't cheaper and is actually more expensive since you have to pay to use the debit card. I can always go to the outlet stores to get better prices on electronics, clothes, etc.
