But you're right. $500 difference in tire prices is serious money. Running to border to go to Costco cracks me up. But you’re right. $500 difference in tire prices is serious money.

The Costco does have great deals and I agree it is not as busy as the ones in Vancouver. I normally don't bother going to Seattle either. Bellis Fair has some great deals...I picked up a polo shirt from Old Navy for $3.95! I had a similar one from Vancouver for $14! We also went to Bed Bath & Beyond and bought 2 Calphalon skillets for $50 total. The same pans at the Bay in Richmond cost around $70 each! I just went to Bellingham this past weekend too!

Have been doing this for years and even more now with $ parity. Great deals can be had at Big Lots; sort of a liquidation place, so u never know what's there. In Michigan(we go there sometimes), there is a walmart-type store there called Maiejer where I got some very nice shoes for $7! My best deal was at Walmart over Thanksgiving..nice bermuda shorts and a cotton skirt,each for $1.50! TJMax is also a fave but it takes time to go thru all the racks. Shoes are definitely the best deal. DSW at Walden Galleria Mall rules! I've gotten Anne Klein and Clarks there for abt $15! Long live cross border shopping!

I love Costco- and I work very close to it, so it's convenient for gas for me! :) I seriously want to go to the Tulalip outlets- especially the COACH outlet! *Drool*. LOVE their handbags. :) As you know, Bellingham is a hop and a skip away from you- we have a Costco here on the Guide Meridian (take the Bellis Fair mall exit and go north on Meridian Street until you see Costco on your left!) and they have a gas station as well!
