| All Things Costco
Love 'em or hate 'em. Discuss everything from the latest items and return policies to pharmacy and optical departments. I would like to hear from employees.
I'll start with my favourites. Maui Onion Chips.......... damn, they're good. Did you know they carry Wagyu Beef? At least they were at the Willingdon Costco.
History of Costco, the differences between locations, etc. Just to name some topics........... https://www.cbc.ca/archives/the-dawn...nada-1.5328668

Love Costco. Best money savings tip I ever made as a poor adult (with a membership???) was only buy what you can carry. Got pretty awkward when it came to buying a mattress.
Honestly I don’t find anything there an excellent deal. But they grab you with the odd unique item and once in a while I find an item in the clothing isle. Lol.
Pizza slice kinda guy myself.
Spent a summer working there in College. Place is bumping at 3 in the morning.

Got it once, the prime rib. It was good for sure but at double the price of their regular prime rib it wasn't twice as good. If you did a blind tasting you'd probably just think it was Angus AAA.

When things go on sale, it's pretty good. Once in a while they get stuff that makes you wonder........... like Oyster Sauce.
Kirkland products are pretty good. Low dose ASA, for example. Way cheaper than the original Aspirin, which Costco also carries. Kirkland Mayo. Just as good as Hellman's. Most of their stuff is probably made by the brand name manufacturer.

As for their pharmacy, there was a time, I got frustrated by the waits and lineups. To the point it wasn't worth the savings. It has gotten a lot better the last year or so. The savings are substantial. The dispensing fee, that is.

Their Prime Rib eyes are almost as good as it gets outside ultra high end butcher imo
I fuckin love Costco. Lately been buying the dry ribs made in store with a similar seasoning than the wings. Great deal for $16 or whatever it is and it can be like 5 meals, the peices are very meaty
My shame return moment was last year. I returned 4 arm chairs, like large nice fabric arm chairs for a living/dining room about 2 years after purchase lol.. we couldn’t recall how much they were but they no longer worked after renovations and we were eyeing chairs from Structube. Dragged the 4 chairs to the downtown location and returned them, ended up getting about $315 each back for them lol felt kinda bad man..
I don’t make a habit of returning things generally however

Lol. I did that with a rug, for the exact same reason.
I get my nitrile gloves from there, cheaper than anywhere else, for N-dex brand. They also have the best grocery store rotisserie chicken. Oh and TP - Kirkland is good shit.

I hear all kinds of stories of people taking advantage of the return policy. Use it once knowing Costco will take it back. The return lineups are miles long. Kind of like not paying full price on cold pancakes after eating most of it, gulolol. Shit, can't remember all the details it's been so long ago. Still my favourite RS post.

We only had a costco membership really because of the savings of going to Cypress. Anything else is a plus as we rarely needed the amount stuff that costco packages come in except toilet paper and paper towels. Now that we have a kid..... Huggies is best deal in town, especially when they are on sale.
I also support them because they are good to their employees unlike Amazon.

I talked at length with an employee at the Brighton Avenue location about working at Costco. Nothing but good. People seem to be happy working there.

A neat perk of being a Costco member is their membership is worldwide. Wherever there's a costco around the world, it'll still work.
Literally saved my life in Japan, being my sole provider of actual Cereal in the country. Never felt so western, craving cereal like a 10 year old.
Also tried visiting in Taiwan, they each have their own unique products and local products. So like you get family size bags of Calbee chips, and i'm not talking about the chintzy "family" size portions you get a safeway that any grown man can eat. They had sushi platters in Japan as well in the deli section.
Hawaii had pokebowls in their Costco Deli, handsdown the cheapest poke you'll get anywhere in the world pound for pound I think.

Is their signature hotdogs + drink $1.50 @ all costco's too?? I love their fries..
I got my costco membership mainly cuz of their tire service. It was $8/tire swapping my winter to summers.. but then they jacked up the price last year.

Sadly, I don't get my tires done at Costco anymore. Got tire d of going at 5 in the morning to line up to get tires changed. I can't remember the last time I've had a flat tire repaired there. They always come up with excuses not to fix it. During peak periods, winter and summer tire changeovers, they hire temps to do the work and they are not great. I've had them destroy studs and lug nuts. They'll pay for the damage and reimburse you for the cost, but if I'm going to end up elsewhere, why bother? I also don't think there's that much of a savings. I can get good deals elsewhere, like Tireland or Kal Tire. I got tires for my EV through Tire Rack when borders were still open.
I now take my tires and vehicles to Kal Tire or more recently, National Tire Warehouse. National Tire Wholesale - Specializing in tires and custom wheels, Burnaby and Greater Vancouver Area These guys took the tires I bought from Tire Rack and winter steelies I purchased from the dealership and had them done in under half an hour. No questions about where I got the stuff from, this or that............. they just plain did it. No appointment, too. Just last week, I had a slow leak. Took the tire off the EV and took it to Costco. They refused to work on it. I took it to National Tire, and they did it in five freaking minutes!
I used to go to this place religiously when they had a place on second avenue near Main Street. Got to know the owner, Mike Mercurio. Super nice guy. They closed down shop, so I thought, but discovered they are now in Burnaby across the street from Lordco NFL. Mike retired, but the place is still like it was when he was around. So, Costco tire shop is no longer a thing for me............ they can take their nitrogen and stick it up their wazoo, lol.
It wasn't that long ago I raved about the service and offerings at Costco Tires. How things "change," eh? OK, enough puns for the day.

Their pizza used to be so good like 15-20 years ago. The Hawaiian especially with big chunks of real bacon, fresh pineapple, decent ham, and multiple cheeses on a decent crust.
They changed the recipe ... maybe 10 years ago? It's not particularly good now.
