Costco

My large pantry at home really gets used because of the savings I get by buying in bulk. Or so I delude myself.

No really, need some office supplies? They have it! Need gardening do-dads, check too! My favorite is the automotive section. I really can't have enough shammies or oil for my car.

Cosctco competes with Sam's Club and Costco is far superior, hands down!

I LOVE THIS COSTCO FOR A L0T OF REASONS. NUMBER ONE ITS CL0SER TO MY HOUSE AND THE LINES ARENT AS L0NG. IT HAS THE SAME STUFF AS ALL THE OTHER COSTCOS JUST FINDING PARKING IS A LITTLE CHALLENGING

PROS: EVERYTHING
CONS: PARKING IS HARD T0 FIND

This particular costco is always packed no matter what time of the day you go. I am also not too fond of their parking because it is located underground and it can get scary if you don't find parking close to the entrance where there is plenty of light. It is located in Downtown San Francisco so you often find pan handlers outside and it can be annoying because you the only way you can get to the parking is via elevator and they follow you.

Come on who doesnt love costco. The only bad thing is you can never get out of there for under a few hundred dollars- We are a big family so we need supersized everything. I hate to buy things elsewhere bc I know I can get a bigger quantity for cheaper here

I think costco is the best place to buy roses they are long stem and they so pretty you get two dozens for under twenty dollars and the roses live for a long time.

PROS: great price for two dozens
CONS: long lines

Costco is Great. It's the only place that i buy tires. I have tried just about all the tire shops that are always seen on tv and Costco is hands down the best. I was able to purchase a new set of tires and they installed them in a professional manner. I was out the door at around $300. No worries and they look AND drive great. One word of advice, is to get their early and do not go in the middle of the day. i actually did it over 2 days first day scope out the tires and the lines then on the second day buy early and beat the crowd. No doubt i will use them again.

PROS: cheap price
CONS: Long lines

I am not exaggerating about the zoo-like quality of this Costco. I come here and have to take a time out afterwards, do some yoga, and recompose myself. Driving here is a nightmare, looking for parking sucks, and well, it may not be crowded, the warehouse is huge, but it feels like it is. I recommend going down to Daly City than coming here for your Costco shopping.

PROS:
CONS: ack- sensory overload.

Nice place to stock up on all your life's neccessities. They have everything from food to computers. Everything is in bulks. Sadly, the lines are usually very long. I do like the free samples those workers give out. Those help me decide what to buy next.

You can literally find everything under the sun on sale at Costco. TVs, computers, books, food, etc. I shop there all the time. The only negative thing is the long lines during certain times of the day

PROS: price
CONS: long lines

This isn't the BEST costco. Usually its the one with the more crowd because its the only one is SF. Some of the workers can be rude and unwilling to help customers. The place is also messy a lot of the time. However, it IS a costco, so you can't beat the prices. :-)

You can find everything under the sun on sale at Costco.
TVs, computers, books, dvds, baked goods, fresh fruit, laundry detergent, sunscreen, and mens dress shirts. You can find it all at Costco, probably cheaper than most other retail stores. Costco is also a very good place to get your pictures developed and to buy contact lenses.

Come in after work and pick up a fresh rotisserie chicken or pizza for dinner. On weekends, Costco has a lot of food samples that you can try. The check out lines can be long at times (especially on Sat afternoons) but the SF Costco has plenty of parking.

Costco seems to be a favorite business for many people. It's always a fun trip to Costco for me. It's great for buying stuff for your business, grocery shopping, buying gifts, and browsing. The food court has some fabulous bargains - prices I've seennowhere else. The optical department has a nice selection of frames at good prices. I haven't seen many clothes there that I liked, and you can't try them on. They have an excellent return policy. There's no time limit, and they'll even give you a refund for packages that have been opened.
