We have the better membership so $110 a year. My husband buys all sorts of
things there. He said they have the best price on golf balls. I buy
cheese, meat, hemp hearts, flax seed (sadly none to be had last time),
canned goods, sometimes cat litter, paper products, supplements, shampoo,
body wash, makeup, beverages... And I use them to send presents to people
in other states. They don't charge postage and their gift baskets are
really good values.
