"I love my Costco, every year I have to crunch and grumble by the thought of having to pay membership fees but I do it anyway. We drink a lot of water at home and they have the cheapest 1.5L Water Bottle prices you can get anywhere. It's $4.99.- for a case of 12 x 1.5L Bottles and going through almost 10 such cases in 3 weeks I think it's worth it. \nThen of course they always have their Kirkland line and there are some amazing things amongst it. Kids PJ's all Organic Cotton for 24M and under $8.- and for Toddler Clothes $14.-. Also their dog beds are amazing!! $25.- for a full size dog bed ( that fits my 115 dog easily ). But don't buy the foam one, just the one that smells like wood chips. \nThe toy section for kids is always a gold mine and I have found stuff there that was over 50% the regular price at other stores. \nBut number one rule with Costco is if you see an amazing deal you have to grab it right there and then because otherwise it's gone!! Have had to learn this the hard way already twice!! \nAlso what I didn't know and was surprised is when the iPhone 4 just came out and everybody was going crazy over it and it was sold out within 24hrs. Costco had them and there was no line up!! I went to Costco shopping on the day of release and suddenly noticed the cell phone booth and saw a couple of people pass by and ask if they carry the iPhone and they said yes and pulled out a bunch of boxes!! Meanwhile everywhere else they were already gone...I guess nobody thought that Costco would carry them. Not sure though if they will carry them in the future anymore because I heard in the news that Costco and Apple had a bit of a fight and won't play nice anymore so Costco won't offer anymore apple products. Not sure if that will include the Wireless Booth. \nI called their tire service place for a quote and didn't find the prices very competitive...\n\nAs for the Accepts Credit Cards question, they just started recently accepting American Express but otherwise just debit and cash."^^ .
