A great place to buy good quality foods. Their gas station always has lower prices compared to other gas stations, but you do need to have a membership card. They also have good auto services. One time I had to get my tires checked because of low tire pressure and they were able to find the issue and fix it pretty quickly in about an hour. Prices are affordable. read more

I like this Costco! It's one of the two closest to St. Louis city, and although the drive is a little confusing and out of the way, the ample parking once you arrive makes up for it. Like other reviewers have stated, this Costco is pretty standard for Costcos across the nation. This is the place to come for your bulk purchases. This means it's the place to come for: paper towels, kleenex, toilet paper, milk, frozen food, some fruits and vegetables, the FREE SAMPLES, handles of liquor, shitty clothes, lots of consumer-grade electronics, snacks galore, canned items, pills and bathroom toiletries. I believe a Costco membership is $50 a year. The Costco American Express is actually one of the better rewards programs across all of credit carddom, so maybe you want to check that option out, too. The cafeteria is nice here, too. If you're not all too worried about health, it's the place to come for cheap and delicious pizza and frozen yogurt. I just wish it were closer to me! read more

Ok, even though I do love Costco. And it IS a stock up store. I still find I spend way too much when I go here. Do I NEED 12 boxes of tissues or 8 cans of the same soup? Probably not, BUT... that being said this store is great at what it does...selling things in bulk. Why do I go there? I like to do my produce/meat shopping there. It forces me to eat it all up before it goes bad, and eating greens and fresh fruits is a good thing! I LOVE the fact they have started getting a lot of organic products in the store. I wish they had more organic meat selections but I can get 6 decent boneless skinless chicken breasts for under $20. I have also recently found lean 90/10 ground Bison! Score. Although I have a mission and go in with a list, it is very easy to get distracted by the samples and center aisle deals. If you are in a hurry, go in with blinders. The checkers are fast. I very much appreciate that! Parking is always available, and the cart returns are reasonably close. I wish they stayed open a tad later on Saturday and Sundays though. They close at 6:00pm. read more

The gas here is why i buy the Costco card each year...definitely the bargain. As for other departments...I compared prices with outdoor plants and they are cheaper at Home Depot.. Also, went to to buy a computer there last week and couldn't find anyone in the department to help. An associate from another department helped me to find someone to help me with a computer purchase but couldn't find someone in electronics. I ended up buying it at Best Buy. Customer service is not the best at this location in South County read more

I like this Place better then Sam's. Don't get me wrong SAMs is just fine I just like Costco better. It's like saying what do you like better Target or Walmart(Target). They have the best in house made chicken salad, the biggest bags of candy and great kids pj selection. read more

I've been a SAMs member for years, just this year joined Costco. My observation- Costco has great deals on bags of frozen wings, my kids eat a lot, big bag around $20. Prepared ribs (seasoned, but uncooked) good deal. Vitamins, that stuff, liquor prices, comparable. Main complaint about Costco- their bakery dept. Crude and inconvenient. They only make 2 styles of cake Choc or Vanilla period. No chocolate chip cookie cakes (really?!), no donuts! SAMs Club- can call an order in, ready in 2 days or less. Costco/ have to physically go in store and write a form out. I don't bake, this is a deal breaker. Will have to renew my Sam's club membership. read more

I like this Costco! I had both Costco and Sam's memberships and found that the people at Costco are much more friendlier and the ample parking is great. Costco is pretty standard across the nation and is the place to come for bulk purchases. This is the place to come for; paper towels, Kleenex, toilet paper, milk, frozen food, fruits and vegetables, FREE SAMPLES, liquor, clothes, electronics, FREE SAMPLES, snacks, canned items, etc... The cafeteria is nice here, too. Also gasoline is anywhere fro 3 to 12 cents cheaper depending on the day and time of the week, it varies. Use one of the gas tracking sites on your IPhone to see when it is cheapest. read more

We love Costco - but the one in South County is our favorite! The place is always immaculately clean and has a great variety of products (and samples!). We frequent the fuel islands, the tire shop and the store. The fresh offerings from the bakery and the butcher counter are fantastic! In fact, most everything with the Kirkland label is pretty great! We have found through visits at other stores that South County is just friendly...the employees and even our fellow shoppers are more friendly than we have run across at other locations! Kudos to Costco for keeping us coming back! read more

My tire had a rather large bolt in the tread of it. I brought my car in tonight for a tire repair. The technician and manager went above and beyond to help me patch the tire. Even going as far as squeezing me in at the last minute right before close. They could have easily said they were too booked up, but these hardworking men went out of their way to help. Costco you've just earned yourself a lifetime customer. To the technician and tire center manager thank you both for your help. I work in the automotive field and am very happy to see other people in the industry going above and beyond to help a customer in need. read more

The store is great and check out is always friendly, but the service at the eye glasses center sucks. Waited 20 mins for service with a blonde woman and older man completely ignored me. The man even left for break, I assume, without even being willing to make eye contact with me. I got tired of waiting (there was only one lady being helped and she was on her phone) so I left to shop and returned to a new woman working, Erica, who was quick to acknowledge me and let me know she'd get to me in a moment. read more

Very friendly staff, good prices, and clean! I often times go on the weekend when there is a large crowd. The checkers work awesome together to help get you through the line quickly! The staff handing out samples is always very friendly and informative! read more

I have always been a loyal Sam's Club card holder so when it came time to renew, and now that we had a Costco by us, we thought we'd check it out and compare before committing to another year with Sams. For now Sam's it is. I went to Costco with the mindset of what I would be picking up from Sams. However I could not find 1/2 of what I normally get. I know they are not big on their name brands, that's more Sam's specialty, but even with their own Kirkland brand I could not find many of the items that are staples at our house. There were some things they had that Sams did not but it did not sway me enough. As an added bonus I usually get a fountain drink after shopping...Costco's drinks may be cheaper by a few cents but they aren't as big. I'll look at it again in a year! read more

Average normal Costco. The interior is exact same size and floor plan as my common Costco of Livermore, CA. They offer samples inside. We got a quarter sized cheeseburger. They have gas around the corner between the store and Target. There is a larger selection of freezer items against the wall in the store not mimicked in Livermore. Case of Pepsi product soda goes for $9.79 a case. It's $9.99 in California. I hold the street off of Lindbergh (Rusty Rd) in disdain. Even making a right leaving the store can be a chore with the constant stream of speeding SUV's coming from Target. I've shopped both here and the St. Peters store. Prefer St. Peters. read more

If you want high-quality urrthang at a bargain price, go here. Advice: If you've never been, it's like Vegas. Have a spending limit before you go. read more

Normal Costco. Many items have low prices but some are higher. I have been happy with everything but the fruit. read more

Costco - Gas Stations Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

This Costco has actually become our grocery shopping store. Once a month we truck up to St Louis just to go to Costco and buy all of our essentials at a great price. We always get great service and you can't beat the nummy samples they have strewn about followed by a large pizza (best I've ever had) and a berry smoothie. It's awesome when you can get a full meal for your whole family for under $15! The food stand only accepts cash I believe but the store itself accepts cards & cash. They have truly made it worth my yearly membership fee! Kudos Costco! read more

I love Costco. Something about being able to buy my favorite things in massive amounts just lures me every weekend. However, I used to live in KC and my parents had a membership card. My mom kept one for her and my dad and gave me and my husband the other one. We went every other weekend- even after we moved here. Then... one day we spent our typical 1.5, 2 hours in the store browsing and went to check out. Ol' girl must have been new and trying to make herself known as cashier of the year because she wouldn't let us use the card. I get that there are rules, but really? We have a cart full of at least $200 worth of food we are trying to spend AT YOUR STORE. Let us check out and we will get our own card for next time! Still no bueno. She and the "customer service" counter made us feel like crooks. Haven't been back yet. What's anyone's take on Sam's Club? Haha read more

Gas station is Way better than SAMS, but don't you dare own a ScanGuage and take 15 seconds to reset it after you fill up, or you'll have a clown in a JEEP speed around you to get to the next pump and like a coward shake his head at you then not speak when you verbally confront him. Anywho: Gas actually has detergent in it as well, unlike that at SAMS Club. They rival SAMS' prices (don't always beat) but have cleaner fuel.. Overall, better bang for your buck. read more

I have a love/hate relationship with Costco. Love the great deals, the quality products, wide selection and friendly employees. HATE how crowded it gets on the weekends. It seems Costco customers must all be starving since they congregate around the many sample stations with no concern over where they leave their massive carts. That's not Costco's fault though. I just make it a point to go on weekday evenings for a more efficient and pleasant shopping experience. read more

I LOVE COSTCO! The meat department is very friendly and helpful... I always buy the big bag of chicken breast, ground turkey and salmon. Always fresh and great quality for the price. The bakery has wonderful cakes for birthdays at very low cost that taste outstanding! I will always shop at Costco to save on money and lower gas prices. read more

Super shop.There are many useful and healthy products.See foods are always fresh.I like it so much

Love their prices on most items. Yes, some items are more expensive, but if you do this thing called "shop around" and "price compare", then you'll be fine. And, not only are most comparable items cheaper at Costco, but you usually get a bigger size... example, we just had a baby, so we price compared All Free and Clear HE laundry detergent. It's $11.99 at Target, on sale, for 114 load size. It was $10.99 at Costco for a 136 load size. Shop around. Pay attention. Don't buy what you don't need. If you're a family of one or two, then, yes... buying in bulk might not be the most effective shopping strategy. And, the Kirkland Brand (their "generic" brand) is usually top-notch, as well... always been pleased with any Kirkland item we've bought, including food items... so saving a few bucks by substituting the "store" brand for the name brand is a great way to save, as well. Also, for seasonal big ticket items (tents, beach shelters/umbrellas, winter clothing, etc), it's worth the chance to wait until the end of the season sales, as the prices drop on all the previous season's items as they try and make room for the next round of seasonal stuff... and yes, they're typically a season ahead, so look for winter and Holiday stuff in Sept-Jan, spring stuff Jan-Mar, summer stuff starting in March, etc. I'm an executive member, so I get a 2% reward on what I buy, including gas. Their gas is already 5-10 cents cheaper than normal gas station, but getting the 2% back really adds up. My wife fills up here on her way to/from work, and I fill up when I take a trip down. $40 per fill up equals an $.80 reward... times one fill up per week equals about a $42 cash back reward, almost paying for the cost of the upgrade to executive. And that's just calculating based on one vehicle... and not counting rewards on what you buy in the store. So, you're saving money by getting Costco gas, and you get cash back. I've never really had much luck with their fruit, but that may change as we try making our own baby food in a few months and go through what we buy at a quicker rate. We'll see... but fruit prices are awesome compared to the grocery store, though th equality is sometimes hit or miss... you have to check the container before you buy, especially the berries. Also, their prices on contact lenses are so amazing, I'm thinking about cancelling my eye care insurance at work. I got a year's supply of Acuvue Oaysis for about $200... but, they give you about $75-100 in rebates. So for the price after rebate, plus the $50 for the eye exam... it's still WAY cheaper than when I tried using my insurance at Clarkson. I'll have to price compare eye glasses, but since I primarily wear contacts, it's been great so far. Avoid weekend and evening shopping so you miss the biggest crowds of all the yuppies and soccer moms... weekdays, though, the place is packed with old folks on a tunnel-visioned mission to try every free sample in the store, though, so pick your poison. Summary: Pros: - Contact lens prices - Kirkland brand - GAS!! - Usually cheaper and bigger sizes than in other stores, even Wal Mart... but price compare, nonetheless. - Coupon circular - End of season and "Last Item" prices. - Best prices on diapers anywhere... though, they only carry Huggies and Kirkland brands (Kirkland diapers are supposedly similar to Huggies, anyway). - PIZZA from the snack bar!! Cons: - Crowded on weekends (go during the week, if possible) - Don't take credit cards (but they do take my Visa debit card, so no biggie) - Diligent about checking fruit, especially the berries, before you buy. - Stock items a season ahead of the actual season, so winter stuff comes out in Sept, summer stuff comes out in March, etc. - Don't have same items every time you shop... inconsistent with what they have. We got a jug of All Free and Clear one week, then came back a few month or so later to get another and they didn't have it anymore. read more

Meh, I went with high hopes but was underwhelmed. The bakery department had almost no variety. I went for groceries and only purchased some naan and chicken soup on an impulse. I gave an extra star because the staff was friendly, the food court was pretty good and cheap. I bought 2 hotdogs and only wanted 1 soda, so they gave the next lady my second soda free! Pretty cool service. read more

I just joined Costco this year. I wasn't used to buying in bulk so the prices seemed a bit steep at first. So many items are $10. It all adds up fast. However, I don't need to buy even half as much when I get groceries the next week! I just have to re-stock some fresh produce and dairy products. They carry a number of organic foods. Their frozen teriyaki chicken and peach mango salsa are mouth watering! As I've found with all Costco's, the customers are VERY obnoxious and pushy. You will literally be shoved out of the way by rude customers rushing around or trying to get a sample. I've never seen anything like it. I've even gotten dirty looks from other people because my 2 yr old got in their way. :/ It's very hard to find an employee if you have a question. I've had to walk back to the front of the store just so I could locate someone. Some of the employees seem aggravated that they're being bothered. On one occasion I was at the back of the store and didn't feel like walking upfront to find someone to ask where refried beans were. I politely asked a fellow customer if she knew where I could find the beans. Both she and her husband turned their heads and started walking the other way. I thought perhaps they hadn't heard me so I moved a little closer and repeated the question. Again they obviously turned away and started talking to each other. It was so weird! In the end, I found out the store doesn't even carry refried beans. :p Between the lack of help from employees and the obnoxious weird customers I really don't plan to come back to the store unless I have to! Be warned- many people who shop at these warehouse stores act like they're hoity toity! Umm...yeah. You're shopping at a warehouse, people! read more

Im so over buying organic bananas and having to throw them out because they do not ripen "properly" or EVER, for that matter! I love you costco, but I'm really over buying bananas, and apples from you. Pretty friendly at this location. Great pharmacy staff! The Manchester location is a close second to me. Only advantage i see to the Manchester location is that there are many more organic choices. Which is what I'm after. The Gas prices are always a win win! Been a member for 18 years and counting! Will not change that. read more

Everytime I come here, I get a churro. It's that freaking good & cheap! About $1 & some change. The quality of products are a bit better than Sam's Club. Self-checkout lanes does justice in any grocery or warehouse store. Costco sells some things that Sam's doesn't offer (e.g. Kirkland brand basmati rice). I would love to see Kirkland brand jasmine rice. read more

I bought "fresh" fish from this store on a Friday. I went to open the package to use it and was met with an unbearable stench. I thought it was just me, so I rinsed off the fish and soaked it in water and vinegar for over an hour. I cooked half of it in a pan and after the first bite new that it was no good. The strong sulfur smell came through in the palate. I froze it until I could return to Costco to return it. I took a 100% of the fish back as well as the label the following Friday and they said they would not refund or replace the item because it was out of date, even though the sale by date was the day before and the fish was frozen solid (indicating it had been frozen at least by the sale by date). I received no concern from the customer service reps; they seemed to just want to turn us away as soon as possible. Very bad experience, especially for someone who doesn't have a lot of money to throw away on rotten groceries. read more

OK, I have to update my review, the Costco my family came to love is back! The gas is back to the prices we came to expect. We were close to canceling our membership but they've won us over again. I guess someone was listening! read more

Is it possible I am just so over warehouse shopping?????? I used to love strolling around sampling and looking at everything. I just get irritated when I attempt to stop in and get some deals. Where are the deals????? I worked for Costco's competitor for a few years and was all about buying the bulk of the household items there. I did have both sam's and costco cards for a few years also. This time we decided to just get our costco renewed and to be honest we have had it for over three years and I haven't purchased anything but vodka, ej brandy, and some wine....and I didn't even need a membership for that. I did see a wonderful cat-tree there at Christmas but decided to wait until after the holidays to spend 70.00 on the cats and now they are gone like the wind.....The coffee pods used to be a deal for the Keurig but I feel like I get a better deal at the regular grocery store when they are on sale and I have a coupon. I look at the small kitchen appliances like cuisinart, and the vitamix and such and again---I can find the same deal at other stores if I look...Oh Costco---I sure hope you offer something soon to justify my membership... read more

Haven't been grocery shopping here yet, but the food court is a decent destination for lunch. $1.50 for a hot dog & a drink, 3 minutes from the job....no real complaints. From what I saw, the store was clean, the parking lot is massive, and the serving staff is friendly. I look forward to stopping in here to grocery shop a bit, and see how they stack up to Sam's. read more

The store prices and merchandise are good but the employees at this store are rude and unhelpful, particularly those working in the electronics section. read more

Yup! We shop at Costco weekly and love it! Sometimes we just go for lunch. I tend to spend a lot of $$ there, lol. But it's always great quality! read more

Costco has an awesome selection of fresh organic meat and produce for a fraction of the price of what Whole Foods is charging. Their employees are very nice and seem to like their jobs. All large companies could learn a thing or two from Costco. read more

Sams I.Say Sams Costco is Foo Foo for hippy type .Its overpriced and too small.Dues are ridicolous.Whats good about it I'll say nothing at all.Gas attendants never there.Rude staff.Dirty restrooms.Sams is total opposite. So don't waste money or time.Go to Sams.. read more

I like this place because they are alittle cheaper than Sam's (well at least I think they are), but their customer service is not the greatest. They seem like they dont care about you and you are almost to the point of "bothering" them when its their job to assist you. Plus I rarely see any staff walking around to assist either. It might just be me but still.. read more

I freaking LOVE Costco!!! I love it so much that I don't freak out when I go in there to buy my favorite giant jug of pickles and they are out. I can seriously spend hours in there. Thank god they always have those little food stands everywhere because I can sure work up an appetite scanning those aisles for stuff I can't live without. Anyways...... Costco is my go to place for all of my organic needs. Wait you say isn't that a lot of food for just two people. Heck no!!! Most of the stuff freezes and stores really well. Also if I buy in bulk I save money not because it's cheaper (side note it is cheaper to buy in bulk) but because when I run to the store constantly to pick up one or two things then it turns into me buying junk food or just impulse shopping. So Costco is better on my waistline and on my pocketbook. I almost forgot.... I get fuel there as well because it's alway cheaper than most places. Last but not least as your walking out the door don't forget to try the cafe. It's uber cheap and half way decent. read more

Costco - Just a normal shopping trip to my favorite store! - Gas Stations Near Me - Saint Louis, Missouri

It's ok only buy a few things and getting to the point where we HATE the milk containers . More than likely we won't renew next year

Ask anyone and they will tell you this is my guilty little pleasure M-Sun!!!! For the life of me, I still cannot figure out WHY I shop here as if I have to feed a small village nightly! I just can't seem to help myself from going here 3-5 times a week! It's like a thrill, a rush, a high I get once I'm going down each and every aisle of that ginormous place! Hello. My name is Kerica and I have a problem...no! I have an addiction! And its name is Costco. I can't begin to tell you how many different things I've introduced people to that I've gotten from Costco! I even managed to FINALLY get my radar detector that I had been waiting to go down in $$$$ for about a year & it was finally marked down! Can I get a what-what from someone! You name it and I more than likely got it from Costco: clothes, jewelry, electronics, foods, cakes, breads, dry goods, frozen foods, I just can't get enough of Costco! read more

Costco is great, good quality products at good prices. The staff are helpful and always nice, I go out of my way to shop here before I will go to a Sams that is much closer. The Kirkland products are very high quality. read more

I love Costco. So much better than Sam's in all areas especially in regards to the helpfulness of the very friendly, well trained employees. Basically they took Sam's business model and improved it in all areas by a 100 percent. I get a kick out of some of the negative reviews on here where people complain about having to buy in bulk quantities at a retail warehouse. What exactly were they expecting? LOL read more
