The Woodinville Costco is closer to my house. When Angela was going to the
dance studio in Woodinville (they have since moved), I went there pretty
much weekly. When we were going almost weekly to Target, we went there
almost weekly. I rarely go to Target now. Can get stuff from them online and
the brick and mortar store hasn't much appeal any more. They keep changing
what they sell and most of it no longer interest me. Plus no more popcorn to
snack on while shopping.

The business Costco is very near where my mom now lives. It's also in the
path of my way home when I go to several other places out that way. As I
said in another post, they sell many items that the regular Costco does not,
including single serve items. For instance, they have the Kirkland brand
hummus cups. Those taste good. Sabra do not. Regular Costco only has Sabra.
They also have small containers of cottage cheese so I don't have to buy a
huge tub. It is mostly these sorts of things that I go there for now. I do
go occasionally to the regular Costco or Sam's Club. All depends on what I
need and who I am shopping with. Don't think I have ever tried Kirkland
cheese. Not sure I have seen it but didn't look for it either.
