I wish they had kept the name 'Price Club'. Costco is clumsy to say and ends up being pronounced as 'koz-ko'.

BJ's Wholesale Club is good but we also have Sams club here. I'd trade those overpriced Sams Clubs for Costcos anyday!

What would you rather have closer to you, CostCo or Fry's?

no ****** and hillsboro's got to be out of their MIND of they think one single drive way on two sides of the block is going to cut it. You pull off of Cornell onto this tiny ass road to get to the main entrance. Hillsboro's city planners are friggin NUTS!

I'll take you to Costco after the insanity subsides. :) I drive within a couple blocks of there twice a day.

I'm looking forward to the cheap gas. Costco gas prices are usually lower than everyone else's.

Hmm... :)

Cheap gas is good, considering I go through 1/4 a tank per trip. :Q

It's purchased from the same distributor as Fred Meyer so it can't be much cheaper, can it?

I moved to an area that doesn't have a Costco and I am about to go bonkers.

I'm going thru some sort of sick Costco withdrawl.

Nice! I'm 5 minutes away and pass it everyday to work. I was wondering when it would open.

That's just evil! I can't have both? :(
I want to be able to get my hot deals at frys and then go across the street and get great prices on nifty stuff at Costco.

Oh well, I think the closest Fry's is in Chicago. :/
