comparable to what you might get at Safeway or elsewhere if you watch the sales.

Most of what I buy there is not available in the normal grocery store. I always have 20 lbs of their frozen strawberrys and mangos on hand that I defrost and mix with yogurt several times a day. Same with their monster size of oatmeal, that's once a day. I can't beat them on coffee beans roasted daily in the store. And Roman Meal bread in a two-pack that gets frozen. Four lb Kraft processed cheese is a major item for me.

Remember the markup on food is only like 3% so its hard to get a fantastic deal, but in my experience Costco carries only the very best. Their butcher shop is superb. But the best deals are on tires and batteries. Even new vehicles. I have bought 3 jeeps through COSTCO. Saved thousands on each. The purchase of one battery can save you enough to pay your dues for the year. jdn

You are right. Costco's blister packages are especially annoying. You need a sharp knife to get them open. You do have to watch the prices.

I do, however, appreciate the barebones displays as opposed to what you get in a department store.
