Costco here in Kona is packed...every day. Gas and food. You could shut down very other market in town...

the Safeway shoppers are almost exclusively Mom's w/credit cards.

Foodland is singles or welfare that aren't Costco members.

I think Costco does well on food/gas during the coming recession. Their other lines may not do so well(furniture for example).
