Costco

Yesterday I went to Costco for the first time with my mom since she purchase she exclusive membership. I could not believe my eyes. It was way better than Walmart and has more food samples than Sendik’s and Pick n Save combined. I was very pleased with their wide selection of products and they also offer service for transportation and travel. The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable with any question we had for them. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who likes to go shop some place different at reasonable prices.

Who doesn’t love a new Costco? This new location is just as wonderful as any Costco. The staff was very friendly and they had what I needed. The parking lot is large. I left with lots of bulk items, and the sales were great. The new location is closer to my sister’s house, so I’m sure I’ll frequent this location more than the Grafton location.

Stopped in today to sign-​up for a membership. That process itself is a pain. They have a gold star membership for $ 50 and an executive one for $ 115. The lady was like a pushy used car salesman trying to sell this executive membership to us. I said no, and then when I was talking to my son, I heard her trying to convince my wife again. There is absolutely no reason for us to have that. I didn’t like how she was spending so much time trying to upsell and not simply taking no for an answer. Made a 5 minute process turn into 15.
Other than that, I do like what I saw. Some items are a great deal, others average, and others cheaper to buy elsewhere, so you have to check prices against Amazon to make sure your’re really getting a deal for anything non-​food related. And even food related items, some of them are not cheaper than stores that have sales, like cereal, etc…
They do not take manufacturer coupons, which surprised me. No idea why they don’t, but I don’t like that.
Go hungry, because they have a TON of samples. I had crescent roll, grilled cheese, pumpkin pie, Asian coleslaw, soda, mini-​cream puff, toast with jam, and a few other things I don’t remember.
They don’t take credit cards, only debit, so be aware of that if you don’t know your pin, or whatever.
Will be visiting again, next time I’m hungry I think!

Opened on November 5, 2015, inside it’s the same as other Costco’s I’ve shopped at. (Although the Pewaukee location seemed to be better stocked.) Parking lot is huge, but the first few days it’s been crowded (promo free samples maybe).
Staff were eager to help, but some didn’t know where items were located.
My fave is having a $ 1.50 bratwurst with large soda once you’ve cleared the registers.
