I beg to differ - the prices at Costco are so much cheaper, and the stuff, IMHO, is not cut rate, it is of very high quality, Costco brand or name brand. The same book one gets at Border's for $25 is $15 at Costco. We purchased a bunch of absolutely beautiful pork chops (in a former life I was a chef) for $16 today - at the local store they would have been $25. I purchased that watch for $46, the same model is on sale at Target for $79! I can go on and on, that yearly fee is made up very quickly.
I think it's a great concept, most importantly, with staying power.

" I can't understand why I should pay some stupid membership fee to shop at a store "

If you shop 1-2 months of supply at clubs, such as the BJ's I shop, you will save more than the yearly membership fee. That simple.

Borrow a card or tag along your friend into the club, compare the prices and you know the difference.
