And Costco charges only $55 a year for its bargain hunting license.

The only real bargain I ever found at Costco was an Optima battery.
Most things they have for sale are priced the same at Smart and Final.
Costco last week was selling Tide in the giant container for $2 more
than Target. My wife bought Michelins from a tire store near her work
for less than the Costco price. The Sony TV we liked was cheaper at
Best Buy. But my wife likes to shop there, so, so be it. I do like
their boxes of Campari tomatoes, but they're sure not cheap.
