depends on what you shop for. they got a nice alcohol section.
the meat seems to be pretty good quality. and since i'm lactose intolerant, a lot of money is saved on buying lactaid.
you could always go with a friend and have him/her buy it for you. i did that while i was in college in cali

They couldn't find tires for my car it being that mazda protege outside, and yes... i already know its slower than a person sitting still. Anyways...
They couldn't get me the 16" rims on my car which are 195/55R16's i believe. But i do remember them having the right sized stock tire for a wrx. Just don't expect them to get any kind of low profile tire i guess...
Far as brands go they carry bridgestone,bfgoodrich, michealen, and dunlop i believe..
you can check if you can get tires from them on their website here's a link

Oh and i sorta forgot i eventually got my tires at Americas tire company and purchased some kuhmo's rated at V's *shrugs* it was MUCH cheaper than costco

well what can i say costco sells food not performance tires. I could bet you sears would have the same price.
Honestly if your going to get YR,V, or Z rated tires you better shop around and check different brands. I honestly have kuhmo becuase they are VERY cheap like 90 bucks a tire cheap for V rated.
Choice is yours though.

I get my tires installed there and it is only $40 for mounting and balancing all wheels. Sure it takes half the day but that is cheap.
The gas is cheap as stated before.
Oil is relatively cheap although Walmart is cheaper
They have a killer return policy. My friend in college bought a computer and used it for a year and then returned it and bought another one. My coworker had a 5 yr old handicam and returned it and got like 90% of the original price back. Customer service is #1 there. Hopefully they don't turn out like liberty house though. I talked to my friend who used to work there and he said that they make so much money from membership that refunds and stuff don't hurt business at all.

Have you checked the price through costco? You should call and see how much and how long it will take to bring them in. They usually take a while (a month or 2 sometimes last i heard) but they did have some awesome pricing on them before. You can then check sears and see if they'll bring them in and match the price. I was gonna do it a couple years ago but ended up buying toyos.
Not sure if its their normal practice to match pricing from membership stores but the guy and windward mall was willing.
