Being retired for three years, I've gained a few pounds. I guess it's like those pounds a freshman in college gains their first year. I've just ignored mine for three years, but now it's time to take action. I've started following a guy on Instagram who coaches people on eating better and losing belly fat. He did a reel on what to buy at Costco and I made a shopping list of everything he recommended. Lucky for me, I liked everything he said to eat. I filled my cart up with all sorts of healthy foods. I got egg whites, organic spinach, greek yogurt, frozen organic blueberries, rotisserie chicken, frozen broccoli, protein bars, cottage cheese, bananas and wild caught salmon. I even grabbed a box of hard boiled eggs. I love'm, but hate making them. The best thing of all, I got out for just under $150. I haven't gotten out of Costco for under $200 in a longtime. Who would have thought eating healthy, could be cheaper. When: January 20, 2026 Why: Stocking up on healthy diet foods. read more

Costco Wholesale - My Cart - Wholesale Stores Near Me - St. Louis, Missouri

Today we were checking out with Sarah M. She was talking poorly about the ladies in front of us and making fun of their purchases. Then as we stepped up, Sarah was upset that we had flipped everything in the cart so she could just scan it all easily and demanded we put all small items on the belt. We did without saying anything. As she is checking us out, she made comments saying she wasn't treated like a human (no one had even said anything to her in 15 minutes we were in line - even though she had messed up multiple orders). She scanned an additional milk, when we kindly pointed it out, she was snotty. As we were walking away, she made note comments saying stuff like "everyone sucks today". When we brought this up to the front desk, the front desk attendant went and laughed with Sarah, but at least she left the register. Also turns out Sarah had missed a big, $30 item from our cart (it was only 12 items - hard to miss), so we had to go back and have our cart reviewed again and a separate transaction. read more

I'm like a kid in a candy store when it comes to Costco, I will never turn down a chance to shop there, I am there weekly to purchase food, and household essentials, I love the fact that they have samples of food daily that way I can try some of the food items before I buy them. The prices I would consider very fair, I like being able to buy everything in bulk. I also get gas at a discounted member rate, I get my prescriptions, and I recently purchase eye glasses for a reasonable price. You can get some car maintenance as well as travel services as well, there's just about everything in Coscto that you can imagine. Oh and let's not forget the food concession stand area to buy ready to eat food such as pizza, hotdogs and ice cream just to name a few of the items being sold. The workers are very friendly and welcoming upon entering and leaving. read more

**May 2025: Weekday Morning Visit** There's two Costcos in the area, but this one is the non-business one. They sell Fritz soda's here and I bought a case for my family and friends to enjoy. Also the gas here is affordable. The next time I come back to St. Louis I'll be back to fill up gas and check out the goodies! read more

My husband and I got my car serviced for new tires last month and the process was so smooth! The Costco mechanics were very friendly, easy to work with, and helpful! The tires were a great value and they even honored a price drop on our tires because we had purchased them just a few days before a promotion - so we saved an extra $90! The warranty for the tires is excellent and having a membership means you don't have to cover an installation fee, it doesn't get any better than that! Overall, we were very happy with our experience! read more

This is not my traditional Costco location, but I have visited a few times when I am in the area and I have to say I really like it. The lay out is about the same as others and they have everything you may need. This location really does a great job with the international cuisine options compared to other locations in the STL area which is why I visit form time to time. I like to see what prepared foods they have available and often find something new to try for dinner or lunch. Costco is my favorite place for fruits and veggies so you can't go wrong when you head into their produce station and load up on all the goodies. You know you are going to get a good quality product that is not going to go rotten in a few days. The selection of vitamins and supplements in the store can be overwhelming, but I always find what I am looking for and of course, I find new ones to try. Looking for protein bars? They have tons. Whey protein? Yup, lots of options and a Kirkland brand too! I can't help but pick out a floral arrangement whenever I visit just because a girl has to have her flowers when shopping in bulk! read more

I was just here for fuel, enjoying watching the people lining up on the wrong side even though Costco has extra long hoses that will stretch over to the other side for all regular sized vehicles. Inside, the usual mecca to consumerism that is just awesome. So much stuff, all neatly shelved and ready for purchase. They do a fine job at this Costco at keeping the store tidy. Yes, the hot dogs are still $1.50 and include a refillable drink. [Review 1270 of 2024 - 370 in Missouri - 22293 overall] read more

Terrible customer service. I enrolled in a membership through employer benefit and was supposed to receive $45 shop card. It was never sent. Went round and round with customer service. In store 2 times and on the phone 2 times to no avail. Cancelled my membership. I'll spend my $300 a week at Sam's instead. Such a waste of time. read more

Working in event planning, I always love knowing Costco is there for event needs! From drinks, bottled water, snacks, plates, napkins... they've got me covered. I recently made a spritz bar and grazing table for an event and Costco came in clutch! I wanted St. Germain and Aperol, and Costco had liters of Aperol at a super affordable price. They didn't have St. Germian, which is understandable as they have a lot of your base alcohols. Elderflower liqueur doesn't 100% for the vibe but was thankful for the aperol. I also grabbed a 12 case of Prosecco (how easy) which is under $8 a bottle. It was perfect. Grazing table was made super easy with cheese and meat trays, mass amounts of snacks, and crackers. Self checkout process could use some labeling for lines when you're far away from the staff, two lines formed and apparently there's only 1. Other than that, another fabulous trip to Costco! read more

I love me a good Costco moment. I always find something that I don't need but end up buying. They always have good sales,delicious samples, and friendly staff. The pharmacy staff are always friendly and they always have medications, especially specialty meds. They are often cheaper than the drug store. Be prepared for long lines, and a crowded parking lot. I wish their aisles were organized by specific items but I think they were intended to be like that so you can buy more. (Great marketing strategy) read more

I tends to go here very regularly. They have quite a lot of seasonal items and I always find something to buy here. This place does get pretty busy in the weekends so I tends to try and go on the weekdays if possible. We buy a lot of food in bulk here. The seasonal items are great. The food court is very popular with the kids. They tends to go for the pizzas, chicken bake along with ice cream. read more

Good service good people. Lots of diversity in terms of foods. Costco is always great!

Not only do you come here for the awesome deals on wholesale/bulk items, but who can beat a $1.99 slice of pizza and a $6.99 Chicken Caesar Salad for the last minute meal choice! Popped in on a Tuesday after a late working day to grab a box of Starbucks Egg Bites, Airfryer for 8 min on 400 and your golden, for the Breakfast meal prep and decided to hit the prepared food stand on the way out. It doesn't take long to get your order if you aren't getting a whole pizza and it's not a crowded day. The pizza slice was just enough to satisfy the hunger craving and save the salad for lunch tomorrow. It's not the best pizza in the world, bit not the worst either. Don't forget to grab your .25 bottle of water on the way out! Dinner for under $3, who can beat it! read more

Costco Tire should be a good experience. The service is hit or miss. The tire department over inflated my spare causing major damage and replacement. At the end of my service, I was told to walk around the parking lot and beep the alarm to look for my car. I don't know if the value is worth the poor service. read more

Absolutely love that they built this Costco on Olive. It's significantly close to me for a 5 min drive. They have everything I need as far as bulk items. Definitely a great value for your bucks in the long run. The customer service is good. read more

Today (11/8/23) was my first time inside the U City Costco even though I have been here numerous times to use the gas pumps. It's large, clean, and organized just like all of the other locations. The only employee interaction I had was at the self-checkout where I was interrogated to make sure the membership card in my hand was my own. I frequent 2 of the other locations and I've never had this happen before. I don't mind showing the card but at least ask nicely, right? 2 things Sam's Club has that you don't and they're extremely convenient. 1. Scan & Go in the app. It's brilliant. It eliminates me waiting in any lines or dealing with any people except the person at the exit door. 2. At the self-checkout they have the hand scanner gun to scan heavy items. At Costco I have to lift the heavy water out of the cart and put it on the thing next to the scanner after the scan or else it will not let me proceed. This extra work after I've been given a hard time about my membership card that is actually mine doesn't put me in a good mood when I'm leaving. I'll probably stick with Manchester and St. Peters and reserve this one for cheap gas when I'm in the neighborhood! read more

Costco had lately been one of my guilty pleasures. I love that I drive past Costco daily on my way home from work. I started with the gold membership because I wasn't sure how much I would go based on my small household of just myself and my husband. I found that going to Costco saved me money over going to the grocery so I recently updated to the executive membership. The executive membership is $120 per year (which is twice the amount of the gold) but you get 2% reward back so if you spend $500 a month it's worth it! I usually do one big shopping hull a month where I buy all my meats and then freeze them in two people portions. For example, I'll buy hamburger meat and divide it into 4 portions that I individual freeze for another week or the precut salmon which usually comes with 6 slices and that will allow for three meals for two people. I also usually go once a week or once every other week to get produce. Some of my favorite buys in addition to meats are the healthy noodles. They are zero calories and are great tossed with your favorite stir fry sauce. I also love buying fruit at Costco. I have found the price is better and they last longer. My husband is a fan of the southwest wraps. He brings them to work for lunch daily. There are a lot of great, quick premade meals that we also like including the gyro kits, the stuffed peppers and the salad mixes. Gas prices at Costco are also the best! There is a reason why people drive out of the way to get gas at Costco. Something that was helpful to me was that you can download the Costco app so you don't have to carry around your card. Costco also has Apple Pay. Both these things came in handy on a day I was desperately low on gas and realized I forgot my entire wallet at home. If it wasn't for the app and Apple Pay I probably wouldn't have made it to another gas station. read more

I know that at times items at Costco are short lived, but If you get this review quickly ( writing it on Aug 12, 2024) they are carrying, Moonlight Yellow free stone Peaches that are delicious. I like most Southern Kids always thought you had to make sure the peach box said grown In Georgia. I was skeptical of purchasing peaches grown in California,but Do Yourself a favor and get to Costco before these are gone. They have that flavor all of us Southern children search for. and if you didn't grow up in the south you are in for a flavor that just might change your life. read more

Excellent staff and always great deals to be found. Quality produce and meat. Gas prices alone are worth the cost membership.

Wow. Big bright and clean. Lots of parking got a front space. Everyone seems friendly and glad to be here. I heard there was some controversy getting the store located here, some businesses and residential housing were moved for this to go up. But at the end of the day most people come out and shop, and jobs, jobs, jobs. This is the mantra nowadays. The store itself reminds me of the one in Chicago, the latest one at the SouthLoop. Super nice wide isles, everything else is pretty much the standard Costco fare, their buyers must be buying things regionally and we're still in the mid west market. Glad this one's here, it's about 5 miles closer to my condo than the one out on Rusty Road which is 10 miles away from me. read more

Busy Sunday here today. Decided to stop by to grab one of the famous $5 rotisserie chicken. You just can't beat the price. We can normally get three meals out of it. Did a quick walk thru of the entire store to see what they had new. Lot's of employees around if you needed help. They had about eight sample stations set up too which was good because I was a little hungry. Not too smart to be hungry coming in here. We often will stop by the cafe first for a $1.50 hot dog.soda combo. It will sometimes fill us up so we don't do as much impulse buys. This is a great location. The store is clean and still feels new. Also did a quick fill up on gas while I was here. Their lines move really quick as they can accommodate three cars in each lane. read more

It's a nice store and wasn't very crowded but I did not love the layout! It also did not seem to be as big or have as many options as some of the other Costco stores. My preferred store continues to be the south county Costco, even though this one is significantly closer to me. Some positives are that there are a lot of gas pumps, more than the other 2 costcos in the stl area! Parking was easy and convenient. There are a lot of Asian foods in this store, far more than any of the other stores. It is also very easy to find, right off of 170 read more

I always get gas at costco and this location is hit or miss depending on the day/time as most are. Can't beat the food court prices and we always find great deals here. The seafood, especially the salmon, is always super fresh and the bakery section is dangerous...Also love the salad mixes and alcohol section!! $13 for a handle of good vodka cannot be beat. read more

This location has been slowly growing on me. I hate how Costco has set-up the gas pumps at each of the locations. I'm not a fan of the 3 car pumps. The good thing is that it's spacious to fit in-between various cars. Also, Costco gas is rated top quality and comparable to Sam's prices. This location is convenient where you don't have to drive all the way out to South County or down to 141/Manchester. Parking is pretty spacious but of course people don't know how to drive down the aisle and drive in the middle of the road or fail to yield. They actually need stop signs at the end of each aisle. The inside is well stocked and they offer different specials and items not located at the other locations. For instance, I discovered Belgium mouse, in chocolate the 6-pack in little cute glass containers which was on sale for awhile, but the item wasn't sold at 141/Manchester. I also recently purchased a really nice oversized dog bed for $24, as well as my neighbor hipped me on to these giant smoked pig ear chews which the baby loves. A 2lb bag for $21. I occasionally will grab a bag of the $9 Caesar salad but honestly prefer the $4 bag from Sam's. They have a really good selections of various new items that change over quickly, for instance......apple cider donuts. The employees are helpful when I need an item pulled down to get out the crane and pull the bundles down and open them so I can go through to find a particular color. There is a new item at the food station where you purchase the hotdogs, pizza and stuff. The strawberry swirl ice-cream with the strawberry sauce is literally strawberry cheesecake in ice cream form, absolutely delicious and creamy!!! A definite must try! I love Costco, it's definitely an upscale version of Sam's. They have a nice selection of clothes and pillows reasonably priced. There are just some things you have to come to Costco for over going to Sam's because Sam's doesn't have or vice versa. read more

There is absolutely no automation or brevity involved in the shopping process compared to Sam's Club. First, there is no comprehensive web site showing products and availability. Second, there is no comprehensive online ordering with pickup available at no cost; all they show are specialty items. Third, there is no scan & go app that eliminates the need for checkout. Fourth, there is manual checking of your card rather than an indicator on the card that tells them you're good. Of course, it doesn't matter since they don't have special hours for executive members -- the hours are designed for their convenience, not yours. They trust no one, they help no one. Everyone gets to wait in the checkout line. Food selection tends to favor certain ethnic markets but not others, so there's some agenda or bias in the selection process. Products tend to be good, but the only way to find out is to go into the store, go through the tedious process of buying it, and trying it for yourself, since the lack of a comprehensive web site also limits the availability of customer reviews to their specialty items. read more

Yes just left Costco had an incident happen. So I was standing in line waiting to check out waiting my turn. There was an employee there telling you were to go when a checkout opens up. I'am waiting in line this man comes from behind me and goes in front of me basically jumped the line. So I told the employee who was watching the line. So he was behind me she had to have seen him because she would tell you were to go next. So i motioned for her and told her he jumped in front of me she took one look at him and said " oh they don't know" and walked way so I had to wait for my turn she was no help. So why did she think it was okay not sure they don't know means. If you are going to supervise the line be fair and control the line. I didnt get her name she has a wig on with gold color hair. If you going to the job be fair. The Costco was in Olive. read more

Finally we got a new Costco near the city! I've always wanted to be a regular Costco customer, but venturing out to the one on Manchester deterred me from going. With this brand new location, we registered for our membership in a heartbeat. We went during the first couple of weeks of grand opening, and it already seemed like they got their routine down. The store was crowded and lines at checkout were long, but they moved fast and were quite efficient. In contrast, waiting for food took quite some time for just a slice of pizza. This location is missing certain categories, such as baby and furniture items. However it is still a great option to get your groceries, food, clothing, and other items in bulk. Plenty of slots at the gas station to fill up on your way out. read more

I am not a fan of this Costco. They are always out of the things I need, maybe because it's smaller than the other locations in St. Louis County? The layout is also frustrating as you sometimes have to backtrack to get to some of the aisles. When it's crowded on the weekends, it's hard to get around people in these sections. I usually find a place to park my cart and run to grab the one thing I need down that aisle. It does get an extra star for the gas pumps. There are more of them than the other locations and if I have to wait, it's never for more than one car. read more

Since you have to pay for membership, these warehouse stores are not good everybody. But they can be big money savers for many. Costco is probably the best of the bunch. They treat their employees well, and strive to put out a premium product at a decent price, when they put their Kirkland Signature brand on something. When we were buying baby formula, the Kirkland Signature brand formula seemed essentially equivalent to Enfamil, but at half the cost. I wouldn't be a bit surprised if someone told me that both were made in the same plant. Those days just the savings on formula alone more than paid for the Costco membership. And of course there's a whole warehouse full of other bargains, and often free food samples being given away. What's not to like? The loss leaders, like the $1.50 hot dog & drink deal at the food court, and the $4.95 rotisserie chicken are legendary. We often try to gas up at Costco too -- the gas is substantially cheaper (I suspect they sell it at cost), and you can save money on trips by gassing up at Costcos, and then go inside and take your bathroom break and have lunch at the food court. If you use a Costco Visa card, you save even more. We've gotten a lot of tires at Costco, including 2 replacements today. I believe normally they just charge $10 for installation and give you free road hazard warranty. Since we were getting 1 damaged/flat tire and 1 defective one replaced, it ended up only costing us about $54 altogether, which was far lower than I expected to pay. I think they even waived the installation charge for us. So when you're comparing tire prices, make sure you do an apples-to-apples "all-in" comparison, including all installation charge, road hazard, etc. I was tempted to go to Firestone but then looked at all the incidental charges they add in to the "all in" price, so went to Costco after all, and so glad we did. I firmly believe we probably would have paid around $400 for the same 2 tires at Firestone, though not a completely fair comparison since we were taking advantage of the road hazard/warranty coverage from previous Costco installation. Don't blindly assume things are cheaper at Costco, but do look around for opportunities to save -- including the signs up front for their travel services, auto savings, appliances, eyeglasses, drugs, mobile service & cell phones, etc. Some people have taken advantage of it, but they still have a great return policy and they really strive to make their customers and employees happy. read more

Hey-it's a COSTCO, I think we all know what that is. So I'll keep this to THIS COSTCO. It's new, still clean and well stocked, the staff seem unusually helpful but who knows how long that will last. Heads up, this is THE place to buy gas for your car and the word is not out on that so the lines for gas so long in the West County COSTCO are short here. Lastly, the bottled water and ice cream are a not to miss check out deal. read more
