Can Costco Save America's Malls?

I shop at Costco mainly for the gasoline. It's usually 20 cents lower than the Shell, BP or Chevron. There are a lot of product lines Costco sells cheaper than tradiotional retail stores, even cheaper than Wal-Mart. Basic membership is $50 a year, but member's satisfaction is unconditionally guarateed. If you don't think you got a good deal at year's end just ask for the refund. The same goes for any of their products. And the quality of the products I have always found very high. You can buy the store brand (Kirkland) or the same name brands found at full-price retailers, but they are still cheaper than at the retailers. If someone like Doublebogeymann expends so much in gasoline that marginal savings would be lost, then I agree with him. Otherwise, for poeple living near a Costco, it's worth the membership fee.
