Costco is a mad house with long checkout line. But for what it is, I am pretty happy with this Costco location (my go-to even though there are a few choices about the same distance). Inspired to write a review today after my visit this morning. As I walked in, I saw a gentleman (presumably working in the tire shop) helping an elderly customer to load a tire onto his trunk. As I was lining up for check out, this shopper helped a father and a son team shoppers with their 3 fully loaded shopping carts to push one of their carts. The folks working there are usually courteous and helpful. And if I don't mind walking a bit, I could almost always find parking pretty easily. I was just happy as I finished today's shopping, as I walked back to my car with a cart full of organic eggs, vitamins, veggies and berries, plus a pack of salad and a rotisserie chicken for a healthy, delicious and cheap lunch! PS. I was glad to see the smaller sized muffins in a pack of 8. So tempting. There were 4 flavors, chocolate, blue berry, cinnamon, lemon. I would have definitely bought one if they had a mixed 4-flavor pack or just chocolate and blueberry 4-4 pack. But until then, I would keep drooling when I walk by and be thankful that they don't have the mixed pack that I want. :)

Good Morning, I would like to take time to THANK BRANDON THE MANAGER AT COSTO IN Brandywine, MD. For taking the time to make sure my car was done correctly. I appreciate your kindness and understanding of what was important to me. He may not smile but he is very customer service friendly. Thanks again Brandon I rate you Brandon a 5 on this platform. You are a 10 rating

One of my more favorite locations. I love the food they have. They have great deals on pizza. The drinks are good. I like the customer service. I came in and bought a lot of Thanksgiving. Everyone here was nice. The experience was good. People are very nice. I never had any problems when coming here. I'd recommend this store to anyone if you're buying in bulk!!

A trip to Costco is always quite the adventure. It's always exciting to see what new products they have and also check out the seasonal displays. You can always find certain products there, but the brands may change from time to time. So if you see a set of dishes you like, BUY THEM! Because that exact set might not be there next time. I also really enjoy to look through the clothing section because sometimes they have really great deals and even cute kids clothes. It's really easy to blow a couple hundred dollars here in one trip. I always buy diapers, wipes, the taco kit (highly recommend), eggs and berries here at the very least. The prices for the organic produce is great, but they don't always have it available. If you need something, Costco probably has it. Folding tables, back massagers, plants, pots, fans, heaters, automotive supplies, dog beds, laundry detergent, a kayak...the list never ends! Costco is always the place to go when you are throwing a party. Drinks and snacks in bulk are great, as well as their premade foods. Their pizza is SO cheap too! They also have good sized cakes and pies available for a good price. Also, I have been gifted jewelry from Costco and it was absolutely stunning and so reasonable priced. I actually replaced my wedding band with a ring from Costco and it's everything I could have ever wanted. Treat someone special to some beautiful and affordable jewels!!! Lots of parking, but you might have to circle a bit depending on the time of day that you go. This costco somehow runs out of carts so fast. A few times I have waited outside for them to round up carts or even found one out in the parking lot myself.

The holiday season is upon us and my favorite time to shop at Costco! For food, holiday gifts and holiday parites. LET THE PARTY BEGIN! But first, the cookie! I have to buy one at every visit, its a must, The best thing they added to date.

NIce Costco co-Located with a gas station. While the lines were not too bad int he store the parking section was simply nuts. Most of that was related to the geography of the store and where the gas station was. The rest of the store is set up like most. This particular location had a great set of reusable zip-lock bags that we had not nor have seen at other locations. They also had a good selection of wine and spirits. The RULES! 1) NEVER EVER go in hungry. That 25 gallons of dill pickle chips is much easier to resist on a full stomach.... true story there. 2) Avoid the free samples. People seem to lose their minds with this stuff. They abandon carts with crying babies, block isles, etc all to get that tiny portion of hummus. I have been shoved aside by someone desperate to get a free piece of cheese. Honestly I have seen more dignity from actual starving people in a disaster zone but I digress. 3) Avoid the weekends like the plague. 4) See #1 5) Go often. Costco uses alot of psychology and the fear of missing out is one of them. Odd items you must have pop up then go never to return. I CAN'T MISS OUT AGGGGGGG 6) Know your codes: At costco any price ending in 0.97 means it has been marked down. Any price that is not a 0.99 or .97 such as say 0.49 means it has a manufacturers discount. and price with an * aka "The Death Star" on it means its done and will not be reordered so stock up. If it ends in a .00 or a 0.88 a manager has reduced the price at that location to clear it out. 7) When in an unfamiliar city head to the Costco. They always stock local items you can't find at yours (like two pounds of single origin Kona coffee for 30.00 at the Kilaua / Kona store etc.) and have cheap gas. (Same on Kauai)

My favorite quinoa salad has been discontinued at the Costco closest to me but I wish THRILLED to find it at this Costco location this weekend! Will definitely be returning for the salad on the regular. Also bought a couple individual pizza slices at the food court. It was nice during the LA heatwave this week that this particular food court line is indoors! Going to make it a habit to visit different Costco locations because seems the inventory is slightly different. Clean, polite service!

This Costco has great clearanced items, I've gotten some good deals here. I've been noticing lately that they have a lot of ethnic items you don't see in most costcos which I love!! I've seen Afghan Bolani, Indian Pani Puri and tandoori chicken. Parking it the worst unless you get here super early or towards closing. The gas line moves pretty fast. Hit up the food court after shopping for a slice of pizza or one of their famous hotdogs!

Costco is Costco - it's the same experience no matter which location you go to. This one is a little spicier since it's in the good ol' hood of Van Nuys! Parking lot is Thunderdome as everyone drives it like they stole it! You better put a pep in your step and keep it moving until you get to the safety of the inside deathmatch! It's free-for-all walking around and there's no mercy in this dojo! It's quite the obstacle course dodging the elderly, the jerkasaurus customers who needlessly create traffic jams by stopping in the most inconvenient spots, kids trying to escape from their parent's clutches, people trying free samples like they've never eaten or drank anything before, spillage in aisles, people using their carts like battering rams, sad sack entitled brats, etc... You never know what you're gonna run into so limber up - remember movement is life! You can buy most everything you need in bulk to hunker down for weeks/months, visit the optometry section so your eyes don't rot and stuff your face with cheap eats from the food court as you contemplate your life's decisions that led you to spend more than you originally anticipated. Costco is where dreams are made or shattered, strength is forged in fire and a hot dog costs $1.50!
