Now all you have to do is find the room for 100 rolls of toilet paper, 50 rolls of paper towels, a 500 lb bag of dog food, enough laundry detergent to wash clothes for at least a year, a box of dog biscuits that will have your dog jumping for joy for months, possibly years, bags of vegetables that will not fit into your vehicle and the list goes on and is large if your wife is half the woman I think she is.

Yes you can - your US card is good worldwide at Costco. I use mine in Mexicali on occasion.

But as others pointed out, if you don't have one, they're cheaper in Mexico than US. - and the Mex are good in US.

With the Mexican card, you have to pay cash no chargeing, and in San Diego where they sell gas its not good.

Pricing


I've only been in the Costco in Mexicali a couple of times, but I found on major items I was considering that the price came out higher than if I had bought it in the U.S. and paid full duty at the border. Of course, if you're not already crossing the border, it's worth a lot not to have to make the trip AND to deal with Customs coming in.

Has the pricing improved any ? Is it worth a second look ?

Has anyone had any experience with having to return a Warranty item ? In the U.S. it's never a problem. They accept returns that I wouldn't if I was in charge.

The Costco here is very easy to deal with. We have had to take a couple of items back and absolutely no problems.
As for prices, if they are a little higher here we expect it, as we are 1000 miles from the border. They are still cheap!

I hear there is a Home Depot scheduled for Mulege and they have already bought some land along the highway near the Pemex. Any truth to this?
