                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For those of you who use multiple memberships for resale. If you have not already received it. Costco has been sending letters to multiple membership holders. They have updated the t &amp; c as of april 5th. The new  t&amp; c prohibits more then one membership as stated below.</p>
<p>"<span>Costco reserves the right to treat businesses with the same or similar addresses or with identical, similar or related ownership as a single business and as such, limited to a single membership. Costco reserves the right to refuse, decline, or cancel a membership at any time."</span></p>
<p>The previous version only stated "<span>Limit one membership per household or business."</span></p>
<p>Any one receive one of these letters? What's your game plan going forward?</p>]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yes, you're looking at it right now! We're pretty darn excited to launch this new feature after we noticed a lot of our visitors were looking to buy certain items they were having a hard time finding (like <a href="https://costco97.com/harmonics-newport-oak-laminate-flooring/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Harmonics</a> and <a href="https://costco97.com/mohawk-home-laurel-glen-oak-laminate-flooring/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mohawk</a>  laminate flooring!) or wanted to publicly lament the fact that Costco stopped selling its <a href="https://costco97.com/kirkland-signature-organic-green-juice/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">KS Organic Green Juice</a>.</p>
<p>Of course there are plenty of other things to talk about... </p>
<ul>
<li>Why don't you tell us about your favorite recipe using Costco products/ingredients?</li>
<li>How about a short review about the latest Costco purchase you loved/hated?</li>
<li>Maybe you bought way too much flooring or a few too many light fixtures and you want to sell them</li>
<li>Do you have any inside tips on how to save at Costco? Let us know!</li>
</ul>
<p>Please don't be shy about posting a new topic or adding your two cents (97 cents?!) to an existing discussion.</p>]]></content:encoded>
