It's $50 a year to be a member. Wine is sold by the bottle at far lower
price than a typical wine or grocery store. Some things are bought in
bulk such as having to buy two boxes of cereal or 2lbs of bacon rather
than one, a package of 4 steaks rather than one but the cost savings
more than makes up for it, often 30-60% cheaper. Things like cameras
are often $100's less than most other stores and is equal to or cheaper
than online once shipping is added. We buy a lot of our groceries there
and it saves us a bunch.
