Getting a Costco in Maine has been an entirely new ballgame for us. Financially, I don't know if…read moreshopping here saves us any money because we buy literally everything we never knew we always needed (appliances, housewares, dog toys, clothing, snacks, outdoor games, electronics, gift cards, travel, and the list goes on). But, for the things we buy that are on our list, it's always a great deal. Favorite Costco (Kirkland) items: frozen chicken chunks and paper towels. I'm a Bounty girl but these paper towels are on another level. To review the specific warehouse: *it's insanely busy all the time, just as other warehouses we've been to *despite the busy-ness, it still feels clean and organized (not organized as in it makes sense because nothing about the layout makes sense) *people are vultures for the free samples. If you want to actually try something, get in line early *they move their stock around frequently. You can't look in the same place 2 weeks in a row because it likely moved *every employee we've encountered has been super friendly and helpful *not only do we get our dog meds at a massive discount but the pharmacist is so friendly! I am definitely a Costco junkie ;) Costco itself gets a 10/10.

Putting aside the question of how worthwhile warehouse shopping is generally, or for house dwellers…read morevs apartment renters, etc... I am very happy with this Costco location. I was excited when they coming to the area and had plans months in advance to switch over from BJs. It's convenient, it's large, it's clean, the gas is cheap, the sample stations are plentiful, the hot dogs are hefty. It's everything you want in a Costco. I have always thought it funny and bothersome that stores like this sell clothing but have nowhere for a customer to try it on, though I am assured the returns policy is generous here. I have noticed they don't sell kids socks here though, that's annoying. I regularly buy paper products, desserts, seltzer, snacks, and greens (we have voracious rabbits) here and have always been happy with the selection. The vegetables are FRESH! Also - when I was considering a membership, I asked to browse the store first so I could make my decision and they let me do that which I appreciate. It was confusing to me that they didn't seem to understand why someone would want/need to do that, but I am grateful they allowed it.

As a result the uni I received was swimming in brine; I would have preferred the straight-up uni I had before. I got two vegetarian dishes- both were disappointing: the seaweed salad was crunchy, flavorless and the Maine seaweed in vinegar was slimy and otherwise flavorless. I ordered these for Steff- I'm afraid she and other vegetarians would be disappointed. The whole dish of salmon roe on the other hand was fantastic- I was careful not to leave a single egg- so fresh, so sweet- better than the Osetra and Beluga caviar I have had in Manhattan. Robert Deniro, whose diet I have read about consists mainly of caviar, would love this. It would take little effort to come up with more vegetarian dishes.

It eventually dissipates once you get inside and further on the dock. There was plenty of signage, so it was easy to find where to go. The seafood is incredibly fresh and offered at amazing prices. You place your order downstairs, then head upstairs to a simple break room-style dining area to enjoy your meal. It's completely self-service, but I actually loved the concept. Guests bus their own tables, wash their dishes, and help keep the space clean, which adds to the unique charm. They also provide complimentary tea and water, and there are microwaves available if you want to warm up your rice. If you're looking for a no-frills spot with fresh seafood and great value, this is definitely worth the visit.

Woah woah woah. Besides this being a charming, authentic Italian grocery store, it has some of the…read morebest pizza I've ever had. I was searching for a slice this afternoon and immediately knew my target when I saw a photo of the pillowy Sicilian pizza here. It was even better than it looked, and it looked great. The crust tastes like a fresh baked focaccia, the sauce has a lush flavor (the sauce was the star of the pizza if I had to choose), and the cheese was a substantial herb-topped layer without being heavy. It's also approximately 9 for a large "slab" that could easily be split for lunch. This is also some of the only pizza I've ever had that is similar to the Sicilian slices I had growing up in Cambridge and going to Armando's (for any Bostonians that may know!) so it had a nostalgic element for me. Must hit place for very memorable pizza.

I'm drooling just thinking about it all over again. It was like taking a bite out of a fluffy cloud. One slice (a little under $10) is big enough to feed two hungry folks, or three if you're not that hungry. Other than the pizza, I'll take this opportunity to express my love and appreciation for Micucci. This Italian grocery store is as mom-and-pop as it gets, and the vibes, products, and prices show it! Their selection is so impressive; everything from oils to pasta to wines, and even a deli with all the best cheeses and meats (best guanciale in town!!!). I just love this place!

That being said, I recently bought a couple containers that didn't end up working for my space and returned them the next day after using them for storing grains. The return was refused because of that and they were deemed unsellable despite the condition of the product being unchanged. On Independent Restaurant Supply's website they claim a 20% restocking fee on merchandise returns as their policy but seem to leave out any other clarification on their strict return policy in-store or on the website. Word of warning to future buyers to be 100% sure about your purchase before buying here as you will most likely be stuck with it if it's in any way used and according to their policy if it's untouched you'll still only get that 80% return
