Costco Wholesale

After searching online and compare coconut oil price, Kirkland Signature brand is the BEST choice because it is organic, virgin, cold pressed, unrefined, in a 84 oz jar, at $ 19.99 (before tax)

This has been a great place to shop for the family for us in the last 10 years. hidden gems in it is the pharmacy which has a great price, and the vitarain drink is my favorite. the parking lot has pretty wide spaces compared to other retail stores in the area. There isn’t too long of a line (if any) for their gas as well. Very glad Costco is in our neighborhood!

I tend to find better produce and packaged foods at this location, in comparison to the one in Lenexa. They have packaged seaweed salad and I can usually find egg whites here when there is a national shortage. Lots of helping people with nice staff, but go when it’s not rush hour. This place is usually always pretty busy, but if you go over the weekend or during rush hour, lines get long and check out takes forever.
Ps check out the food court – it’s cash only. If you want to use your card you’ll have to purchase it with your produce at the check out. They have such delicious pizza slices and foot long hot dogs.

Sample lady physically slapped my hand away from a sample because not all of the paper cups on her tray were filled with a sandwich yet. If there is a sample eating protocol, I am obviously not aware of it. This was extremely inappropriate and alarming to me. I was a weekly customer, but I will not be going back.

I don’t come to this Costco often because there’s one closer to home, but when I do come here, the experience is just never quite as good as the one in Lenexa. First, this one seems to be busier a lot of the time; so much so that their poorly-​laid-​out parking lot often becomes an exercise in patience and stress management. There are an inordinate number of very large SUVs that make it even more difficult to navigate the parking lot and parking spaces are often at a premium, even during times you would think would not be peak business hours. I’ve certainly experienced a lot more rude aggressive behavior in the parking lot and in this store than at the other Costco locations in the city. Is that Costco’s fault? Not necessarily, but at least the parking lot could have been designed better to save a lot of hassle for customers.
Once inside the store, the aisles are often clogged with shoppers parking their carts in the middle of an aisle, or two sets of customers parking their carts side-​by-​side blocking the entire aisle. This is the only place on earth where the words, «excuse me,» followed by, «may I please get through?» mean absolutely nothing.
There are horrible bottlenecks at checkout quite often and more so than at other locations. The cashiers are efficient and work hard to move customers through, but there usually aren’t enough of them.
Other than that, it’s a Costco. They have the typical Costco stuff that you’d find in their other stores, aside from booze (the exception being 3.2 beer) due to the ridiculous antiquated Kansas liquor laws. I do like a lot of products in Costco, which is what keeps me coming back, but every time I come to this location, I wish that I had just made the short trek up north to the store that’s closer to my house. Also, on my most recent visit, I found blackberries that were covered in mold. Lots of them. Not cool.

This Costco is clean, well stocked, and the employees are fast and friendly! While it is set up opposite of the other Costco in our area, it is still easy to navigate. I actually appreciate that there is a bit more space in the large exterior aisles than most stores.
It’s too convenient not to go. The parking lot sucks but show me one that doesn’t!

My review is slightly bias because I practically live at this store. I am at a loss of where to start with all the great things about it.
First of all the food court: if you have small kids or just any type of crowd, $ 1.50 for an all beef hot dog and a drink. They have giant pizzas that you can have hot and ready to go for $ 9.99 (call ahead).
Their clothing section has tons of name brands like Calvin Klein and Nautica. My husband gets 90% of his clothes there. One time I walked in to find a pile of North Face coats – they frequently have special «finds» like that that will just be there for a few days until they sell out.
Other reviewers have already mentioned how fabulous and their meat department is. I also have a Sam’s Membership and I hardly ever go because for our family, we eat mostly fresh fruit and organic. Sam’s club is just like a giant Wal-​Mart with barrels of cheese puffs. Costco has not only organic items but healthier cereals and even healthier snacks as well.
One last tip worth mentioning: all computers purchased at Costco have a 2 year warranty. If you use your American Express card, that extends to 3. That’s a pretty good deal, to have a 3 year warranty on a computer for free.

What a wonderful place to shop, even for two people. The meat is fresh which is what keep us returning to this wholesale warehouse. This location has increased the number of sampling stations which is probably appealing to many.
Our main focus when shopping here is the meat and seafood. In fact, today they offered fresh (unfrozen) seafood personally offered by a fish mongrel. All of the seafood looked delicious and we were tempted to purchase some, if not all. We will continue to be loyal customers here and suggest that if you haven’t shopped there before you might want to give them a tryl

Costco continues to be an outstanding place to shop for favorite foods in bulk. You do need to be a smart shopper — sometimes prices at Costco are no better than at local supermarkets. But Costco’s prices on gourmet cheeses can rarely be beat, there’s always an interesting selection of foods, and the quality and service are very hard to beat!
This update is to tout a new find in the meat department. Costco is now selling packages of a cut called top cap of sirloin. This may not sound familiar and you may not know what it is, but it’s the favorite cut of beef in Brazil, where it’s known as «picanha» (pronounced pee-​CON-​yuh). If you have enjoyed a meal at Fogo do Chão or any other Brazilian steak place, picanha is one of the cuts being brought around on giant skewers, so you’ve undoubtedly sampled and enjoyed it there.
The cuts used at restaurants are usually whole pieces of the top cap. If you’re into large scale grilling/​barbecuing you may be able to get the whole picanha from the butchers at Costco. In the meat case Costco is selling packages with seven or eight pieces of meat, shaped somewhat like Kansas City strip steaks. These smaller pieces are bought for home use in Brazil, or by some restaurants, to serve as «picanha na tábua» or planked picanha. It couldn’t be easier to make. Costco sells this cut in both Prime and Choice grades, but I bought the Choice because I suspect there’s not much difference except in price. The sirloin is a lean cut, no matter the grade, with not much marbling, and it can be chewy, although extremely flavorful. To cook, just season a strip on both sides with your favorite seasoned meat tenderizer and, if you have one, use a needle-​type meat tenderizer device on it. After a few minutes toss it on a hot grill and cook to your desired degree of doneness. Put the cooked meat on a wooden cutting board, slice it thinly across the grain, and serve (traditionally with «molho campanha» or country sauce, which is just finely diced tomato and onion in some white vinegar and salt — it looks like Mexican pico de gallo without the cilantro and a bit more liquid because of the vinegar). Each strip will serve two, and there is NO waste. The first strip I cooked was just with the seasoned tenderizer but without using the needle device. It was great, cooked very rare, but slightly chewy. I used both the seasoned tenderizer and the needle device on the second strip I made and it was as tender as filet mignon, even though it was cooked to medium, so I definitely recommend the needle device — it’s easy to use and works on all kinds of meats, of course! The picanha strips freeze very well, so buy a package, hold out what you plan to use immediately and then wrap and freeze the rest. That makes it a very good buy!

This store is a «Go To» for me. A lot of my shopping is done here for groceries and sundries. Before I purchase any electronics I see what they have. They are my pharmacy, and so much more. Yes, sometimes it’s hard to deal with the quantity purchases, so I must moderate my thoughts, but that can be good, IMHO.

Costco is a conundrum. They get things — then they disappear, never to return again. If you like something — you have to grab it.
That said, they are our «go to» grocery store, and «go to» everything else. Good prices, good items, and their trend toward organic items is very welcome.
I own stock in the company — because I believe in what they are doing. Great stuff!

I love Costco. I’ve never had a bad experience at Costco.
I’ve been to this location once. We live about 3 hours away and this is the nearest Costco to us. We needed to cash a check from our costco credit card — which is awesome deal for cash back on purchases.
Costco products are top notch and are of great quality. Return policy is awesome and ridiculous at the same time (I’ve seen a man return plastic wrap from toilet paper and he said he was not satisfied, even though he used all of the toilet paper haha).
Plus, sample days are the best days!
Our experience at this particular Costco was great. Good customer service, products, and overall experience.

LOVEEEEEEE Costco, great unique and household products. I have some hints for the shoppers!
1) Organic products: they have organic everything! Great prices and portions on these items. My favorite is organic eggs, organic guacamole, organic sugar, organic coffee, organic dry fruits, and organic frozen fruit!
2) Frozen seafood: great prices! I love the frozen shrimp and frozen fish. PLEASE BRING BACK FROZEN AHI TUNA!
3) Dairy products: I love the cheese selections. Crazy amounts of varieties. Also, the milk prices are awesome. Butter!!! I love the kerrygold prices there.
4) Eat at the cafeteria: great prices but make sure you you have cash or go to the cashier to checkout before going to the cafeteria. Pizza, chicken bake, and hot dogs! Great place to get quick bite.
5) Unqiue snacks: always have something new to try. I love browsing that section and just try everything!
6) Get the executive membership: the cash back is worth it. I am honestly going to say, if you are making this place your permanent shopping place.

Make sure the card is in your name, because these cashiers are sticklers for the rules.

I really like this Costco. It has a different variety of items than the other nearby Costcos do. Specifically, a larger variety of groceries, personal care/​beauty products, and furniture. The gas pump area is easier to access and use than either Lenexa or Kansas City locations. Good place to buy quality and healthy groceries, or almost gourmet desserts, if that’s your thing.

This is my favorite wholesale club location… as if there were oodles. :-)
Traffic seems to flow smoothly, indicative of sufficient cashiers. My most fav cashier/​customer rep is Martin. He is quick very courteous and says «please» and «Thank you» multiple times during a single checkout. Not that it should be that way but certainly a positive entity for the Costco image.
The prices are in line with wholesale clubs. I am a plus member at SAMs as well (for work). It isn’t logical to think that any membership price is going to get you the best price on everything. If you aren’t careful, you could pay more for certain items. of course there are values in many bulk buys but there’s more to it than paying for the best price in the market. Do you need that much? The extra deals come in when there are manufacturer discounts (electronic coupons) which come every few months.

I love Costco just as much as the next guy (or gal). This facility is nice and clean.
The staff, like other Costco locations is unpredictable. Some staff is really friendly, others are like government employees that barely acknowledge your existence. When spending the kind of money I do at this place, and being an «executive member» I expect top-​notch service. I go down to Chick-​Fil-​A and get 10x better service every time. Why is that?
There is rarely anyone on the floor (employed by Cosctco) to help you. Yet, you are very likely to get mugged by a mobile phone sales guy or one of the other increasingly many point-​of-​sales salespeople… or by one of the food sample stand staff.
Here’s an idea Costco: put a help stand in the middle of the store. Always have two people manning the station, one to provide info on specials, samples and directions; and another runner to physically show people the items they cannot find.

Great store, always packed unless you get there about an hour after it opens on the weekdays. It’s the ultimate nesting store. You’re middle aged? Need to feel like you have enough stuff to last the recession or just the next few months? You’re in the right place. I never thought I’d enjoy this place as much as I do. Entire boxes of Kit Kat bars $ 10. I don’t need them. I buy them. Soda, fiber gummies, canned tomatoes, it’s endless. I bought the prime Brisket for smoking texas style, straight salt and pepper over oak. It was exceptional. Worth every penny. Shop around it’s not always the best deal but usually is. Their product quality is excellent. Store workers are friendly and helpful. Customers are jerks. They walk around without any sense of self and their own vicinity. They always look at you like YOU are the one in the way –it couldn’t be them. They push those damn carts like battering rams.
Why check our membership card when we go in? We can’t buy anything at the register unless we have a membership card. So why hassle us at the entrance? It’s 2014 no one is trying to sneak into Costco. But if they do, it doesn’t matter because they still cant purchase anything without a membership!

Let me put it to you this way, I scored a bag of whole bean Starbucks French roast – three pounds of it – for a few dollars more than if I had picked up a one-​pound bag at any other location.
That’s a lot of caffeine. Fortunately, I believe in moderation and the caffeinated jitters aren’t so intense I cannot type this review.
This is just the start. There are so many options at Costco. I will grant you that you may pay more than you wanted for a little lunch meat, but you get a lot of it. Put it in the freezer.
We all know the benefits of Costco everywhere, but this particular location is staffed with friendly people. The cashier handed me a tissue when he saw me rubbing my nose with the back of my hand. Maybe he had a thing about germs, but he didn’t make me feel that way. He said, «I saw you were having trouble,» and handed over the tissue. The lines were slammed with customers, even for a Wednesday, and this guy went out of his way. He even noticed some of the carrots we bought may have turned, so he sent a runner to get more.
This is truly wonderful customer service. I don’t know his name, but he was a short African-​American gentleman who looked to be in his 20s. He seemed excited about his job, and he moved efficiently through the items. The other personnel are friendly as well. They seem genuine, even if it may be a part of their job, in interacting with customers.

Costco is the Holy Grail of wholesale stores. If you are a Foodie… and I am! Then you love and demand quality! The fruits and vegetables are wonderful, and not just the norm, but Chanterelle mushrooms, Peruvian fingerling potatoes and haricot verts. Just to of a little name dropping. No matter what your need., over the counter medicines, housewares, bakery, meat, electronics, jewelry, or Christmas gifts… this place is the bomb.
Basic Memberships are $ 55 for 2. They accept debit cards, checks, cash, or American Express. So don’t leave home without it.
