Costco Grand Opening...

[Pamela30]

I was just curious if anyone was going to venture out to the Costco Grand Opening on Friday in Fredericton?

[freddybeach]

I probably won't go anywhere near that place until the "Newness" chasers and Back-2-Schoolers have all had their fill.

[lizzylam]

we have something spacific we want to buy but I think we will do an early in the day visit one day next week.

I have an invite via the Fton Chamber of Commerce to go to their "pre-grand opening invite only party" Thursday night.. anyone else have one of these invites? I'm wondering it's a fancy schmancy rub elbows thing, or if it's just a tour of the new store?!

[wimbly11]

Oh, I want one of those invites! lol

[freddybeach]

a little bird told me that the price of gas at their gasbar is currently 1.179. If this is true then that's quite the savings! potentially $4-$5 per tank compared to stations in town (assuming we all drive small sedans like myself).

[wimbly11]

Wow, that's an awesome savings! I really want to go tomorrow, but I know it's going to be insane. I've been thinking about going to the hospital for somethings I've had wrong lately, maybe tomorrow would be a good choice because I bet most of Fredericton is at costco! lol

[bhlombardy]

Anyone have a list of promos and/or deals involved with this grand opening? (A flyer scan or list perhaps?)

On the road today, and would venture to fredericton if I thought there was anything worth going for.

[wimbly11]

I have one home, sorry! I can't remember the specials, there were quite a few. I remember if you buy the Salsa you get two bags of chips for free.

went today.. was told it was quite possibly worse than Friday.. eek.

[freddybeach]

I ended up going on Saturday and while the parking lot was overfull it wasn't that busy inside. I've been in the Dartmouth Crossing on a regular Saturday and have it be busier.

Having said that, I spent most of my time enjoying the delicious samples :D

[wimbly11]

We tried Friday evening, circled the parking lot, couldn't get a spot so left. I'll go the week...

[LauraWill]

hehe yes, MMM lots of delicious samples.. I loved the dark chocolate almond cookies.. I'm kind of kicking myself for not purchasing them.

[wimbly11]

I'll have to try and get there this week for some of those specials!

FYI the co-op seems to be keeping their gas prices the same as Costco so if you go there on Saturday and pay cash you will get an even better deal than Costco.
