(I like Little Northern Bakehouse and Canyon Bakehouse gf breads) I know people who line up for 20 minutes to save $1 on gas ... not my thing. I know people who go there just to eat "free" samples then spend $600 on junk they don't need. I prefer No Frills, Goodness Me, Sobeys and local places like Zehr's Country Market (Millbank) and Vincenzo's for grocery shopping and Amazon for everything else.
I don't get the hate for Costco. It's a huge benefit if you are on a budget.

With Amazon you pay twice as much for items you can get at Costco and Amazon delivery is the most environmentally wasteful way to shop. Amazon also treats its employees terribly. Costco is far better in this respect.

I agree with you about the gas lineup though.
