My first experience with Costco was back home in Canada in the food court. They used to sell poutines dirt cheap because (a) it was back in the day and (b) it was in Canadian dollars LOL. I didn't have a membership then because I didn't have a business and I was single. We finally got a Costco membership when we were stationed in Hawaii, at out necessity and ever since, this relationship is going strong. I'm sure you know most of the benefits, but these are things I love about Costco: Executive Membership - the fee is a steep $120, but you get 2% cash back and most years, I almost make it all back rewards. If you don't want to dish out the $120, start with the basic and if you want to upgrade later on, I believe they will prorate it. Gas - as a general rule of thumb, they are usually the cheapest. If you shop there often like I do, I usually fill up there once a week. Kirkland Brand - I love their house brand and you'll usually find things like their TP, paper towels, seaweed, their liquor, EVOO, nuts (to name a few) in our cart. The unofficial word on the street is that their suppliers are usually the same well known brands, like vodka and Grey Goose (the bottles resemble each other). They source the best Asian products - Costo buyers know what's up! They have a great selection of Asian products. One thing we buy in bulk is their seaweed, the Kirkland brand. The biggest container filled with lots of sheets and the cheapest you will find! I hate that they have been running out lately and replace it with another brand that isn't the same in value and quantity. I've seen things like citrone (yu-ja - Korean citrus fruit) jam for tea, pear juice, boba mochi, instant noodle bowls, Bachan sauce etc. So many great products, from produce to meat, ready made meals, drinks, frozen products, spices in bulk. The list goes on. Samples - you can practically have a small meal making your rounds on a weekend day. That's how they also get ya. I don't know how many times I have bought an item because I sampled it first. Online shopping - if you order items in the grocery category, with a minimum order of $75, you can have it shipped for free. Other items like clothes or products, are usually free shipping. But beware, most items online are marked up, hence the free shipping. Food court - solid items. Who can beat their decent pizza for that size and price? But Dear Costo, can ya bring back the Supreme?! And have you had their newest item, the chocolate chip cookie? It the size of my kids' face. Only con is, there are only two Costos in the entire area. The one here in Norfolk is BUSY. ALL. THE. TIME. Like from opening til close. You can find the best stuff during the holidays too. One of the things I regret not getting is the darn Hexclad set when it was on sale during the holidays. The lowest I've ever seen it. Maybe this year.... One thing I have yet to take advantage of is Costco Travel! Enjoy, Friends, and never stop exploring!

I visited yesterday this location. They change things around so much, way too much! Lots of frustration. Also, lots of great items are discontinued. I can find them at other locations, but not at this one, in Norfolk. They don't bring anything new, other than, maybe, celebrating the New Chinese Year! Rotten tomatoes is nothing new. But, no matter how things were in the store, a stop at the Food Court was always pleasant. Until yesterday. We ordered a large pizza. An absolute total disappointment! It wasn't cooked well, it didn't smell right, it was not even warm. It was horrible. I went to let them know, they said something like it may have been there for a while (!). They did bring us another one but I didn't hear any apology. I didn't like their attitude at all. Where is the nice time that used to be at the Food Court not long ago?! Who ever is in charge and runs this location, does a very poor job!

The epitome of American shopping craze and consumerism. I got my prescription glasses ordered but takes 7 to 14 days to get delivered . You must have own membership card.

Went to the store to get a membership turns out to be waste of my time. I walk in ask where do I get membership lady points to the door. I walk through and wait in line then the lady says it at the other side of the store very rude like. So I left won’t be spending my hard earned money there. I left customer service was 0 of 5.

This store is a bit pricey compared to other wholesale clubs in the area

Costco is the best place in every city I have ever gone to. Can’t beat the food court. This food court is consistently understaffed and pizza waits can be almost an hour during peak times.

This has to be the most efficient place I've ever been to. I don't know how so many people get in and out of there that quickly.

Great place! Need to be a member. Prices are great. Most off the Costco brand (Kirkland) are just as good if not better then the name brands! We will continue to be members! Thank You Costco!
