It is worth the drive for me to shop at Santee instead . The parking lot seems bigger to me and there is always spots. Today, was a breeze for me which I was so happy about. I was able to get parking right next to the cart area so after I was done shopping, it was so easy to put the cart away as I was parked directly next to it. I went by my shopping list and got into a line with only a few people even though it was busy at Santee. As I was waiting in line, I realized I forgot chicken stock. There was a worker, who I do believe he was a supervisor who helped me big time. Rather than getting out of line, I asked him would you be so kind as to get me some organic chicken stock? He did not hesitate and said yes! How many employees so that these days? Not too many, but Fabian is a "Super Star!" He went out of his way to help me so I would not have to get out of line and go try to find it and have to wait in line again. I was so happy what he did because he saved me valuable time. Costco Santee, I hope more people compliment who your store does right than wrong. Fabian deserves to be recognized and applauded for going above the call of duty! I really appreciate you Fabian as I am sure Costco does as well and your customers! I will be returning to Santee all the time because they make my shopping experience smoother and very pleasant in all ways!

No idea what's wrong with it, but it is NOT edible. I like this store, but it is horrible right now because they closed over half the parking (the entire area by the tire store and where you can get propane). Will remain closed while they do work to move the gas station across the property. So be forewarned, there is not enough parking and the only spots are usually by the current gas station, where there are lots of rude, crabby drivers speeding thru to wait in line for gas. Almost got hwalking to my car last week. The gas station is moved and much much better now. They are still working on the food area outside, but parking was a breeze, even on July 3.

When I first moved to San Diego I had a roommate who loved GTM and went about once a month. She…read moreshowed me her deals and talked about it constantly. Since then, I have been meaning to go but Santee, Chula Vista and the former Lemon grove area stores were just too far from north county. I'm just not down that far very often. Recently, I had a drs appointment not too far away so I looked to see how close it was. It was early in the day so traffic wasn't a factor. It was only 10 mnutes away. Today would finally be the day! I pulled up and got a parking spot right out front. I walked in without a cart figuring I would only get a few things which was a blessing and curse. I would have bought more with the cart but what I grabbed was cumbersome to carry. They had a tv screen when you walked in advertising their sales. The old roommate had mentioned sales and coupons so I knew to look. They have a little bit of everything, close outs from Claire's, makeup and skin products, clothing, shoes, tons of food, condiments, beverages, eggs and milk (for super cheap), dishes, cleaning products, kids stuff such as toys and clothes, electronics, pets stuff, greeting cards, furniture, you name it they likely have it. Some stuff is still a bit pricey but other items are ridiculously great deals. I wandered all the aisles and got a lot of things I needed. The lines to check out were bit long but moved relatively quickly. They have a Tuesday senior discount which may explain why it was so crowded. The staff was helpful. I will definitely be back even if I have to plan a visit. How about opening a North County location?

You can buy single pieces of underwear incase you shat yourself. Ilike to get cans of probiotic sodas, sparkling waters, and toilet paper rolls. I buy work pants here if I can find my size, which is short and chunky. It's a work in progress. Recently I got a king size quilt comforter but it is still in the original packaging three months later. If you are not part of their coupon club you shouldn't buy anything here unless you are. The downside is you will get text messages every week from them. Although, I kind of look forward to them since I have no friends.

George showed up on time, very friendly and honest. In the end we were down to 2 companies, Turf Worx and another place. The other place had more Yelp reviews but we really wanted to give Turf Worx a chance since they offered more at a cheaper price. Due to the rain it slowed the turf work down but they got it done! We are so happy with their work. My husband is definitely excited that he doesn't need to mow the lawn again. They also re-did our firepit, which I am super stoked to use. Our old one was so old and beaten up, I never used it. They have a wide variety of turf. We choose one that had a green and yellow tint so it looked like fresh new grass. It feels awesome when you step in it. Thank you Turf Worx!

Santee store is well organized and is definitely more organized and shopping efficient than the El Cajon and Mission Valley location. The produce looks fresh and well stocked. Prices are reasonable and sale items can really help save. Fyi definitely take advantage if of the app and digital weekly coupons and coupons in general. The only issue is there was only two cashiers initially and then a third cashier came in which was cool and made getting through the shopping experience better. Staff are fast ringing up items when the lines are more than a few customers and still remain professional and friendly. I hope they get more help so it doesn't affect their morale and customer service as it's stressful working short staff. Definitely room for growth with staffing.

Bring your own bags everyone because if there's a couple left, they won't let you have them.
