The Cost U Less is like a Sam's or COSTCO and is a good option for bulk buys. We still find the prices on the Dutch side to be a little better, just our opinion. Fair winds and following seas!

After looking at prices at Le Grand Marche when we stopped to pick up some wine, we felt the cost increment was minimal, and more than justified by the time savings - Jeannie had everything on board and in the cooler when we arrived.
