They might want people to think so, but many of their items sell for very ordinary prices. They do get some excellent deals, for sure, but you have to shop carefully there just as anywhere else. In the end, you have to ask yourself, am I saving enough to warrant the $50/year I'm paying for the priviledge of shopping here? And - is it worth it to drive all the way out here?
