Costco Wholesale

Obviously you have to be a large family to really take advantage of Costco, since everything there comes in multiple portions, big sizes or bulk ... but we first had our membership, as a small family, when my son was born, to save on diapers, and it was so much worth it. Then we went many years without a membership, but a few years ago we signed up again because you can't really beat Costco's quality of produce and frozen fruits and vegetables at great prices.nnThere are also other items we only buy at Costco, such as batteries, car air-freshener, laundry detergent and carbonated water. Also toast and skinless/boneless chicken breasts are excellent there ... not to mention large trays of fruit, vegetable and cookie for office parties and family get-togethers.nnLast but not least, Costco has now become a destination for eyewear. I got prescription eyeglasses and sunglasses from excellent brands there, at a rate that's very competitive compared to other optical stores. I also hear that Costco is the place to go for electronics and cellphones, as well as winter tires, but I never bought mine from there.

Alcohol now available at Costco! Reasonably priced... a small selection. I bought a nice Pinot for $15. A case of Corona is $44.99... Great to be able to buy with regular shopping!!

Overall sign up was straightforward but didn't like the pushy sales tactic for executive membership with a credit card was a turn off after saying no more than several times and the lady would keep saying why you're getting money back, it was irritating. Also, where to find things was more difficult with no directional signs. The 1.50 hotdogs and pop combo are a great deal but should also have an option for only hot dogs, especially if you want to buy more than one and not have to have so many pop to carry

We shop here regularly and as usual the service has always been great. Today I went to fill a prescription and thought it was busy Lunchtime There was no wait to drop it off and I had my prescription within 30 minutes including a brief chat with the Pharmacist.nnMy wife and I are retired and there are just the two of us but there are things only Costco seems to carry and with some large ticket purchases like tires and vacation packages, I believe I get good value for the cost of membership and typically the money back I get with me Executive Membership covers most of the cost of membership.

The parking is terrible but other than that this store is great. The employees are usually very helpful and friendly. The stock is usually good. We come here every week.
