Shopping at Costco Wholesale with my wife was an experience that deserves its own documentary…read more At first, walking in felt like stepping into a small country disguised as a warehouse. The place is massive. I'm pretty sure you could land a small aircraft between the snack aisle and the electronics section. I stood there for a moment doing the classic "deer in headlights" routine, wondering if we needed a compass, trail mix, and maybe a guide rope just to survive the journey. Fortunately, my wife quickly snapped me back to reality. Apparently, this wasn't her first rodeo. She had a system--a well-thought-out shopping strategy that rivaled a military operation. Once she gave me my marching orders and we followed her usual route through the store, everything started to fall into place. Suddenly the overwhelming warehouse transformed into an organized treasure hunt. And what a treasure hunt it is. The selection is incredible. One minute you're looking at everyday groceries, and the next you're discovering sodas you've never seen in your life--flavors that sound like they were invented during a late-night science experiment. Then, just when you think you've seen it all, you realize there's an indoor pizza place casually sitting there like it's the most normal thing in the world. Shopping break? Don't mind if I do. The variety here honestly beats any shopping experience I've had in the last decade. Whether it's food, household items, gadgets, or those random "how did we live without this?" finds, Costco seems to have it all--and usually in sizes large enough to survive the next ice age. By the end of the trip, I went from overwhelmed rookie to proud cart-pushing assistant under my wife's expert leadership. We left with great deals, good food, and enough snacks to make our pantry look like a convenience store. Final verdict: Come prepared, bring a strategy (or a wife who already has one), and be ready for a surprisingly fun adventure. Costco isn't just shopping--it's an expedition... with pizza at the base camp.

It would take a lot for me to give a Costco anything less than 3 stars, so I find it funny that for…read morethis location, most of the locals have panned it, yet all of the out-of-state visitors have praised it. For a few of the locals.....clearly you don't know how Costco works....they don't carry the same stuff ALL the time. Merchandise varies based on so many factors....time of year availability, holidays, customer interest, cost to Costco and if they can pass the savings on to their members. If you really miss an item, let the store manager know, and if they get enough complaints, they will look into getting it back in stock. As for the non-Costco vendors, tell them NO. Repeat, repeat, repeat, and keep on walking; it's not that difficult. The portion sizes are too big? My God. DON'T BUY IT THEN. Sheesh! Or, you know, you could freeze it like the rest of us. We found a few products not available in our Costco in the midwest (and still not there), and picked them up to take home, which is pretty typical everytime we go out of state. It was at this Costco that we discovered they brought books back! We found the location to be a little surprising, what with it being directly across from the Daytona Speedway, but that then gave us a famous landmark to look at, so.... Anyway, it's Costco. Easy in, easy out, tons of different stuff you do and don't need. Prices better on some stuff, worse on others. The great thing about Costco is that you can cancel your membership anytime....who knew?!?! All of us. They literally tell you that when you sign up. 104/2025

We recently drove cross country, all the way from FL to CA and by locating the local Sam's Club, or the Walmart fuel stations, to refuel we were able to avoid bankruptcy. Just on these savings alone, we recoup the annual Membership fee.

Angela's Restaurant Supply is a long established business in Daytona Beach and the owner, Angela,…read morehas been in this business for decades. I think she said that her parents started in the business and she came into the business in the 1960's. Angela's Restaurant Supply might be a bit higher than what you can buy on Amazon or other online sources, but with Angela's Restaurant Supply, you know the quality will be there plus more importantly, you know what you are getting and if you have a problem with the equipment, you have a local double to correct the problem. Angela herself was friendly and helped us with the whole purchase and getting the product in our hands. Even if you are not coming in here with a set item to purchase in mind, Angela's Restaurant Supply is a cool place to wander around and looking at the cool stuff. Parking is a bit of a mystery until you figure out that you have to go down a side street and park behind the building. Overall, this was a wonderful experience and I would definitely recommend Angela's Restaurant Supply and I will give it five stars.
