Now that they have self checkout lanes, they don't really follow that thought anymore.

I'm not sure anyone else in this thread has mentioned it, but Costco by a huge margin has the best price on Propane on the lower island (not sure about the mainland). Literally 1/3 to 1/2 the cost of anywhere else in my experience. The drive from Saanich to Langford pays for itself in savings. Between my BBQ, fire pit, patio heater and travel trailer I go through a lot of propane.
