Reply #40: Best deal in eyeglasses and contacts, period

[CreekDog]

I looked all around when I needed new lenses and frames, a good $100 cheaper than the competition (For Eyes, Lenscrafters, etc.) for what I think was actually higher quality frames. Consumer Reports good review of them for eye care led me to check them out (I already had a membership).

Also, if you are shopping for a party, nobody beats them for buying high quality food and party supplies in bulk --they are so much cheaper, it's incredible.

They are a good deal cheaper for electronics, provided they have the product and model that you are looking for, they aren't Best Buy after all and will have a limited selection, but if you find what you want, it will likely be at least $20 cheaper. I noticed this buying replacement ink cartridges and digital camera cards, where my xD card was $69 versus $100+ elsewhere.

Nevertheless, since I'm single, I don't go to Costco that much, I don't need all that food that often, though I buy their sirloin patties real cheap and pretty good and chicken too, but that lasts me a long time. Again, if you are buying for a BBQ, you will save big time buying there.

Could be worth your while, but I'm spoiled, there are two Costcos in my city of 60,000,
South San Francisco.

Oh yeah, forgot, if you need a lot of cake, they make fresh cakes and big ones for occasions and were probably at half the cost of other stores. We had to buy a big sheetcake for a work function and ended up at Costco because us staff were paying out of pocket.
