Bhunso,

You can get Monster @ Sam's for $1.09. I sell it for $2 to $2.50 a can depending upon the location. Red Bull I would do $2.50 to $2.75. I have never used Costco, because their website didn't give any food prices, which I like to check before I go.

Sincerely,

~HooseFoose~

Without a doubt....Sam's... I have a Costco and a Sam's near me... I checked out both.. Sam's is better for small business and vendors like us. Costco is more for home use.

Sam's. However, if you live in a smaller city, your Sam's will not have a broad, rotating selection for pastries and cold food items. This is the problem when you are too small to buy from a distributor so you buy from the "clubs" instead. It usually means you end up putting the same stuff in your machines week after week after week.

Sure, you can rotate some things in and out, but you will find out not everything sells and therefore, you won't rotate those items back in (if they don't sell), which limits you to fewer items to work with that do sell.
