Although I think it's been around a LONG time, I just recently discovered Cash and Carry. It's based upon the same idea as Costco, but I suspect, although I'm not sure, that it's been around a lot longer. It sells items in bulk, so mainly for restaurants and businesses, but no membership is required. And, it does have some items that Costco doesn't. If you are a coffee/latte fanatic, you've got to visit. Cash and Carry has the most extensive line of coffee products (i.e. flavored syrups, toppings, sauces, etc) that I've seen in a retail store. I go here for all my syrups, generally less than $4.00 per bottle. Also, they have a lot of candy type items, so I would definitely keep this store in mind if you hare having a kids birthday party or something like that. If you pass by, go inside & keep this place in mind for when you have a particular need.
