We pay $100 a year for our executive Costco membership. It was great in Seattle, when we had five or six Costco’s within a half hour of our home. But in central Kentucky we now have the one in Louisville which is about 90 minutes away.
But it’s still good. We go there every few months for stuff we need and I use the costco AMEX card to buy all my gas for my job that is 62 miles from my house. We get extra cash back for gas purchases. I just got the check for last year’s purchases: ~$450.
Yep you have to be very careful not to forget to factor in the cost of driving the family buggy....which is 50 CENTS A MILE !!!!!!!
