I went for a look (they let you do that without joining if you go on a week day) and I didn't last long enough to get a good look at brands etc. It was a bit of a zoo to be honest. Maybe it's because the novelty value hasn't worn off the Sydney store yet, but I'd rather pay extra and shop in an environment of relative sanity!

When I visited a friend in Canada it made sense - they all have deep freezers and huge amounts of storage space in their basements, and it was good for party catering - seriously, a tub of sour cream as big as my head??? - but without a huge amount of pantry space here it just wouldn't be worth it for us.
