Costco or BJs? Our membership to the former is up and the latter just opened a store closer to our house.

Suggestions of good budgeting/finance software?

I upgraded my iPhone today - Brian's old first gen was getting slower and slower.

I need a dress to wear to my brother's wedding! I have terrible tan lines from vacation, so the one I was planning isn't a great option anymore.

Costco does not have the variety that BJ's has, but:

Costco will cancel a contract if they aren't given the lowest price from the manufacturer.

Costco treats its employees much better than any other warehouse store.

Those two things, for me, directed my decision for Costco. I had both for a while, and BJ's sure was convenient because they had so many brands, but in the end, I only went there for the big bag of cat food.

I always preferred Costco, but I haven't had either in a long time.

How far away is the wedding? This method works quickly, but you'd still need a week or two depending on your skin cell turnover. There is a moisturizer called Lac-Hydrin that has a high level of lactic acid in it and I've used it to get rid of tan lines quickly. You're darker than me, so YMMV, but it will make them far less obvious. In Pharmacy stores it's usually on the bottom shelf, and sometimes you have to ask the Pharmacist for it because they keep it behind the counter because it's on the 'medical' end more than cosmetic end. It's for people with bad/rough skin conditions. (Costs about $14 for a big bottle)

BJs

That place is the way to go if you buy meat and dairy in bulk! And they have great deals on beer (like if you have twenty Ewoks over, the suds go quick!)
