Two words LIVING WAGE. LOVE THIS PLACE. THEY PAY ENOUGH TO GET KNOWLEDGEABLE EMPLOYEES.
Go during the week…. This place gets packed on the weekend….
Kind of a necessary evil. Get there when it opens if you don't enjoy crowds or lines--it's never not busy.
The only time you can go and not have it be a madhouse is 30 minutes before they close on a Thursday night. But then you're that guy. Or gal.
Saturday afternoons are the best time to go!
The Costco down South is never as crowded as this one. Shop there if you are in the area. Only downside is they don't sell gas.
If you actually watch the prices, many of the things are just slightly more expensive than HEB...which makes one question the value of the membership.
I feel like I should get an award each time I go to Costco without pushing down free sample munchers that get in my way.
Costco has the most affordable quality food court - anywhere.
Their med prices are fantastic. Saved me thousands.
If u need something from the customer service counter, recommend NOT coming an hr before closing or right when they open
Costco coupons all have the same bar code, any coupon will get you all the discounts on your purchase.
Churros and hand dipped ice cream bars are the best desserts here. Super cheap too!
They now have gelato at the Costco cafe . For $1.50 and a smile you can get a giant triple scoop cone !
How is this place ALWAYS so busy?! Yet so efficient, courteous, and helpful.
Don't forget to check for their cheap bread .
Good luck finding parking on the weekend. This place is a madhouse .
You can't beat the hot dogs at Cosco - for flavor and for value!
The equation for how much you will spend here is roughly $75 + ($25 x 20 minutes)
Free samples
A cure to a hot, humid day . . . Stepping in their fresh veggie cooler. Ahhhhhh . . .

Bug the store manager to be open later than 6pm on Saturday night! They turn away streams of cars! Stupid!
Check out their car insurance details. I saved a fortune.
Don't ever come at noon any day of the week, store is crowded
Cash or check only at the food court .
Cash only at the lunch counter
Worst service in town . Very expensive compared to even Walmart or HEB and when you bring it up they get ugly. I cancelled my membership over the way their management acted.
Christmas Stuff is out! I love Christmas !
They have Dyson Airblades in the restrooms . Hygienic dryness never felt so sci fi.
Join- great wines and good prices
