    FWIW:
    I was at Costco in Vista at 6pm on Tuesday night and it was a ghost town! People are starting to see the light.

    I was at Costco last night and it seemed fairly busy…Although I think in a down market you would see MORE people going to Costco to save money versus going to the grocer.

    Thoughts?

    I better indicator is to watch what people have in their carts.

    Name brands or generic?

    Steak or hot dogs?

    Crab legs or cold cuts?

    I think it is most likely a fluke that it was that empty. IMO… Most people don’t save money at costco, they just get more stuff for their money.

    I shop at costco every week, love the meat and produce quality. Much better than any grocery store in town.

    I think consumer spending is hanging in there. I can’t explain why.

    I go about every other Wednesday around two pm (to beat the crowds) and its been noticeably deserted. Only a few registers open with little if any wait.

    I love Costco btw, its kinda the 80/20 rule as a shopping experience. Plus they have a great return policy.
