The Edge: Everything from office paper to baked goods—huge quantities at significant discounts. § The only problem for New Yorkers is the huge quantity you must buy and the car you need to carry your purchases home. Terrific discounts, but significant storage required for the huge packages. Office supplies, food, cleaning supplies, computers, TVs, batteries, canned goods, health and beauty aids, tires, clothing, and more—all at discount. Consumer Reports’ readers consistently rate it high for glasses and contact lenses. There’s a $25 annual membership fee and it only accepts Discover and its own credit card, but the savings can be worth both the inconvenience and the trip. Call toll free 800-774-2678 to find a location near you. § “Good prices—but it may not have what you need when you need it.” “Great prices.” “I always buy too much here.” “Great values.” “Excellent for prescription glasses and drugs. (You don’t have to be a member to use the optical department.)” “Of course it’s great for office machines, telephones, and office supplies, but I love the food—great value if you can use the quantities.”
