Costco

seriously low-priced pharmacy , $25 per month vs the $250 a month I was paying at Rite aid. Plus they'll let you check out with a few small items, the lines are never long. A+!

Weekday mornings are the best time to go. Come with a list prepared or get ready to walk out with unexpected purchases.

Who doesn't love Costco? Free Samples , cheap hot dogs , chicken bakes , cilantro shrimp , roast chicken , bulk sizes

Fantastic selection of organic produce , meat and dry goods! Quite a few local items as well . Grass fed beef in the far back freezer!

The food court gets packed in the afternoon. They only have a few tables so secure a spot before ordering. Be friendly and share a table :)

Great prices in pharmacy , produce, meats, dairy. Not so great for household items like paper towels, TP. Great food court ; always crowded

Free Black Friday Costco cookbook , today only. Some nice scallops on the cover.

If you are like me and don't own a car, you can rent one for a few hours using the getaround app. Much lighter on the wallet than getting a taxi .

Want the $1.50 hotdogs combo but don't have a membership? Say that you're gonna open a membership or purchase liquor to he door guy, then walk right in like a boss

Hot dog with mustard and ground onion is key. Purchasing at the regular check-out and picking it up doesn't save you as much time as you'd think, especially for the gelato

Order your hotdog before doing your shopping to avoid the long lines and having the tables taken at the end of the day.

Right now 6/6/2011 this location has 750ml bottles of Dupont Saison, Moinette, and Foret for $6.99, $7.99, and $7.99 respectively. You can't get the beer cheaper even in Belgium!

Great optometry office adjacent to the pharmacy - have been getting contacts and glass prescriptions here for years. Very reasonably priced and quick - can walk in but best to make an appt.

When leaving, you shall go down the ramp, buck a right and cut through the traffic if you're going toward market / S.Vanness.

Get your $100 gift cards for OSHA Thai restaurant and The Stinking Rose for only $79.99! It'll save you money when you're eating at these restaurants .

Fresh poke sold all day in the refrigerated section by the fish , Thursday thru Saturday.

Kirkland Signature's Caramel Almond Toffee Ice Cream is absolutely amazing. Not exactly cheap but delicious!

One of the best places to grab a free, multi-course lunch (in other words, samples galore!)

Love it though not a big selection of vegetarian beans

They are really strict about checking your membership cards before you enter

Best to get there when it opens. Go with a list and put your "patience" hat on. Nice, helpful staff (when you can find them).

You don't need a Costco card to buy liquor . CA Law prohibits charging a membership for the purchase of liquor .

Pulled pork sandwiches , samples, and bulk goods

Hot dogs ???? omg yes. Happiest place on Earth IMO.

Best deals for sockeye salmon single malt whiskey , wine , etc..

You can't beat the $1.50 hot dog and soda deal. Also, don't be in a hurry as it's pretty much always slammed.

Check out the clothing as it is generally good quality and cheap

$1.50 for the best hot dog , add onions , ketchup , mustard , and enjoy your soda with free refills

Food court is closed for 6 weeks starting 09/09/13 but they're still selling hot dogs and polish dogs !

Contrary to popular belief, it's just as bad during the week as it is on Saturday

Never go at rush hour, register lines take at least 20 mins during peak times

They now carry Harmless Harvest Raw Organic Coconut Water !!!!! 4-packs!!

Come on a Monday - short lines !

Commonly consumed items come in bigger packages or bundles at an affordable pricing .

Don't get your heart set on a chicken bake ... unless you want to wait longer than the 20-30 minutes you already spent in line .

Avoid Costco on the weekends if you can! It's crazy-crowded on Saturdays and Sundays.

You can order food from the food court when you buy your groceries in the regular line

Try the Gelato - #Gelato at #Costco 3 scoops for $1.50

Go on the weekdays if you can! Horrendous on the weekends..

Order food from the regular checkout to skip the long food line .

Pay ahead for your polish dog at the register and skip the Mongol hordes at the food court

Do not come on Sunday mornings. It gets extremely crowded .

Normally go to bulk purchase of milk , cream, frying oil and sodas

Very busy Costco in the city . Please be patient

Visit soon after opening time any day - often very short lines

Great for impressing your relatives....

Avoid prime times - after work, mid-day weekends, days before big holidays/events.

Cheap organic snacks like dried apricots without sulfur.

It's best to come here right when they open the doors

Good deals if u buy bulks ...but u need da costco membership card
