Costco

great prices. awesome open service. love this company

Costco has everything and is amazing but I particularly enjoy that they have a few self checkout stations it definitely makes getting in and out if there quickly a possible thing

They take care of their employees, and in turn they take care of you. I gain at least a pound on samples every Saturday.

My wife and I have been members since the store opened and shop there a couple of times each week. Great buys on very good quality products 98% of the time. Once in a while the produce isn’t quite as good as it should be. Customer service is excellent, the store is clean and we’ve saved a ton of money over the years.

I shop at this costco several times a month with my sisters. The store is clean and they have great quality products. I used to take my sister every time I went and she finally broke down and bought her own card. I love when they have samples of food, I always end up buying these items. This is one of my favorite stores.

Who doesn’t love this place? Seriously? Of course I need an entire cow and a 55 gallon drum of shampoo and conditioner for my wife.

This Costco is great; clean, good items, decent food selection and friendly staff. Glad to not have to support the Waltons and their Sam’s club… Costco treats and pays their employees well. We’ll continue to come back for years…

Renee at the final check out area is the BEST! Always so friendly and very fast. She rocks!
The produce department needs help. We have bought so many fruits and vegetables and had to return them because they were rotten. Doesn’t seem like they keep on top of the freshness of their produce as well as other Costco’s we have shopped at.
They seem to randomly change the layout of the store every month or so. Just when you figure out where your favorite snack or family vitamin is… they decide to put it in a totally different place. Not sure the reasoning behind this, but it makes shopping a bit frustrating (especially on those packed weekend days).
The cashiers are the fastest in the business and always so friendly! Great team of workers!

I always love Costco. What’s not to love about Costco. I was driving through the area and searched for cheap gas. I don’t know why I searched. I already knew the answer that Costco was the cheapest. So I stopped and filled up the truck and the watercraft. A huge savings for me!!! Anybody that shops anyplace else is only cheating themselves.

I shop there quite frequently, this place is very clean and do seem to always be stocked. I like going here on the weekends because of all sorts of different samples they offer which is a great way for me to try new things. I actually love their wine selection as a wine connoisseur they have a lot to offer.
If you are a business member you should check out their extra services that go beyond just Costco membership for instance you can get 10 to 15% off your oil changes participating dealerships. They also offer great discounts on travel packages. I recently discovered that if I order my personal checks through them they are about $ 15 cheaper than my bank. Overall I am happy with the membership because of the extra added bonus is for free. Nonbusiness members do not qualify for as many extras but there are still a lot of other discounts that you can get as a standard member.

This is a GREAT store for certain things. For example, I used to buy my dress shirts elsewhere and pay between $ 50 and $ 100 apiece for them. Someone told me about Costco’s dress shirts and I tried them. The shirts at $ 20 are an incredible value and every bit as nice as the shirts I used to buy for three or four times the price. Sometimes it’s disappointing because you grow to love a product that Costco sells and then you go to the store one day and it’s gone! Overall, I have been extremely impressed with their house brand items and usually enjoy shopping at the store. Did I mention they make the best men’s undershirts ever?

So it’s the old argument, Sams or Costco. Well SAMs is more convenient and I use it waaaaaaay more but Costco is where I go when I’m sick of SAMs environment. It’s owned by Walmart so that an idea of what the employees are like there. Costco I honestly trust what they sell. SAMs not so much. So Costco is always going to be my fav, but SAMs is closer and has more product selection.

They have a great optical department. They are a fraction of the cost of other locations, both for the eye exam and the glasses or contacts themselves. They don’t process many insurances, so you have to submit on your own, and I had to go back for 3 eyeglass adjustments and then a repair. I will go back. Love the glasses and the service.

Customer service is top notch at Costco. Employees are always friendly and appear to stick around long enough to build familiarity with customers. Clean and organized store!

So if you are looking for a place that has Organic Foods in bulk this is your store.
Am I saying all the items are organic? NO. But they have a good selection of fresh fruit and vegetables that are and for good prices.
We recently purchased a deep freezer and a much bigger 31 cubic foot refrigerator and have stocked them with Costco food.
I have been amazed at the prices on spices and other things that we pay more for at Target and other shops and for the Organic USA grown product not some China sourced items.
I am still waiting to see if our membership pays off in the end but I think with using the credit card and getting the rebate back at the end of the year we should be good.
I was amazed at all the products they carry and the variety. You can buy Gun safes, Bathroom vent fans, golf clubs, wine, electronics, blenders, bikes, seriously the list goes on and on.
I also save on Gas about 5 – 12 cents per gallon. All depending on the market I have seen it as high as $ 0.15 variance from down that road. I do feel like I may be getting better gas mileage but it could be all in my head.
Luckily I work across the highway and I am over at Best Buy way too often so I am not really going out of my way to go to Costco.

I just cannot quite believe it myself but my love affair with the big old warehouse store is OVER… I have cut all ties with Costco… don’t think I’ll be going back… I discovered I am more of a Sam’s gal… I had my membership and would walk in and walk out and not buy a thing… that is an accomplishment in itself… I just didn’t think the prices and products were fabulous enough to merit going out of my way to pay to shop… I have been a dual card carrying woman at both Sam’s and Costco… because I don’t want to miss out on anything and enjoy shopping… but after a year of stopping by and not finding anything i’m over it…

This review is for the Costco food court. Not the store itself.
The food court is clean, quick, and tasty. Where else can you get a $ 4 hot-​dog and a $ 1 soda for $ 1.50. My favorite thing is the onion dispenser that you spin to release a veritable stream of onions! I love it!!!
If you are at Costco and you are hungry, this is the ticket. Have fun, and try the pizza too!

It is not bad for basically being a giant warehouse. It has a wide range of items, but if you are looking for many items within a category, you will be disappointed. They usually only have one or two different brands of the same item.
The store is generally kept very clean, even though a lot of people go crazy and can get out of hand quite often. If there is a negative, they don’t always have enough checkers on hand so you can sometimes end up waiting quite a bit to have your items rung up. There is also almost always a bottleneck as they check your receipt at the door.
Finally, you can always tell when gas prices in the area spike, because it seems like everyone and their brother stops by to get gas. Sure enough, that was the case this morning and it took a bit of time to get gas, but normally, you can get in and right out.
Overall, it is a pretty good place to go if you are looking to save by buying in bulk. Do be careful though, not all items are cheaper and it usually helps to have the coupons that they mail to you.

By far «the best» between the Wally World choice. I have been a member for over 10 years and don’t look back at the other guys.
Top of the line products and their personal line «Kirkland» products are always a best buy and high marks by Consumer Reports.
Enjoy the savings and better product choices.

I’ve been a member of Sam’s Club for a long time. I probably haven’t used my membership enough to actually warrant the purchase, but when we’re having a big party or buying paper products, I do find that shopping wholesale can often help you stay within a budget. However, now that we live out in O’Fallon, the closest wholesale store is CostCo and I know several people who swear by it. So, with a baby on the way and the need for diapers, wipes, formula, and God-​knows-​what-​else steadily approaching, we decided to make the switch.
Disappointment.
Our biggest mistake was purchasing the membership before taking a walk through the store. While wholesale stores can’t guarantee they’ll stock 12 packs of your favorite brand of everything, I found at Sam’s Club we generally had good luck finding the brands we liked 95% of the time. This doesn’t appear to be the same at CostCo. We also made the mistake of signing up for the Executive Level membership. While they gurantee you’ll make your $ 50.00 back, I just don’t see us shopping here enough to make money on it (as the program is set out to do) unless some day we decide to stock our freezer with an entire side of beef. (And we won’t.)
The service wasn’t horrible and they do seem to have more associates standing around than I’ve noticed at Sam’s Club. We asked a guy about a portable air conditioning unit and he got us all excited about this special they were running where the thing would cost us a fraction of what you’d normally pay. Turns out he was taking about a window unit (what part of «portable» means «window unit»???)
Unfortunately, it looks like we’re stuck with each other for a year, CostCo. I’m hoping to write an update to this review that I was totally wrong and that we’re using our membership on a weekly basis to buy gallon jugs of olive oil and 14 packs of toothpaste, but I doubt that will be the case.
Look before you leap.
