Save Money/Join Cosco's as a member

Joined Sam's Club

Have you every noticed how life takes you under its wing and makes good things happen for you? Recently we were members of a wholesale house called Sams and we enjoyed saving money buying things we needed from them. They offered four types of membership we chose the cheapest one, it was called the Advantage Membership and cost forty bucks. We quickly saved enough to justify the membership card and then it was clear sailing from there. My wife and I enjoy saving money, isn’t it great to live in American and enjoy all that life can create?

Switched to Cosco, Membership Free

Then just before it was time for us to renew our membership Cosco’s another wholesale member organization moved in our community and thru a promotion offering, we acquired a membership for nothing. The only thing we had to do was apply and receive a membership in the American Express Card. The card was offered to us at a no annual fee. So we became members of Casco’s, oh and did I mention they offered cheaper gas, which Sams didn’t offer at that time. Also they were closer to our home and were located with an easier entrance and exit configuration. Were currently getting better savings from Cosco’s then we did from Sams. Also my prescriptions are a little cheaper and their pharmacy has a faster processing system. Cosco’s is a win win for us. Oh and I forgot to mention that they have a small snack area where the food is good tasting and doesn’t cost an arm and leg. Just a couple days ago I enjoyed a polish sausage with the works and the wife chose a slice of pizza. The food tasted great and the food area was clean and nicely organized.

I Love Competition

I realize the store is brand new and that creates an environment that makes me feel good. Also having more competition in the area helps keep our benefits as a member even better. Between Baby Showers and other family events were keeping many of our costs to a minimum. Just recently the wife has purchased on numerous occasions large tray arrangements of foodstuffs for snacking while the main course is being prepared.

Don't Like Waiting in Line

I realize the newness will eventually wear off and services may change in the future as their membership increases. They also don’t force you to stand in long lines to pay your bill and then do the same before you can leave the building. Standing in line to pay for something has always griped me. It has always seemed to me that getting your money should be a high priority for businesses. After all it’s the one thing they want to do and that is to fill their coffers with your money. So why don’t they make the process faster and that would also make the customer smile more. Have you ever noticed how the vast majority of people waiting in line to pay for something aren’t smiling much if at all?

Collect Money Quickly

I remember working at my parents amusement park and how important it’s was to collect money from riders and get them swiftly placed on the rides so their experience would be a good thing for them.

So know matter where you buy make sure your getting the best deal in town and remember a dollar saved is a dollar earned.
