I love shopping at costco, i can buy in bulk and have it on hand.
I hate having to rush out all the time for a certain item because the kids have eaten everything in sight.
Costco is great for this, i can have it my pantry

Prices are good.
Buying in bulk is great esp when entertaining or having kids parties
The cakes are huge and great value, feeds the whole family and more
Love the freezer food it just lasts
The fruit and veg are great quality and doesn't go off
The Milk tastes great, its fresh...Read more

In my opinion, prices at Costco aren't cheaper than at Coles or Woolworths. Given that Coles and Woolworths gives 50% discount on most products once every 6 months, I found that bulk buying at Coles and Woolworths easier and cheaper than at Costco.

Everyday Rewards and Coles flybys are free memberships compared to the ($60/yr?) Costco memberships.

Prices on groceries not cheap.

Prices on electricals no cheaper than at Bing Lee. Any astute buyer can easily get cheaper electricals of name brands by doing some negotiation at Bing Lee, R...Read more

I took off two stars because of this -

I was hoping for better prices, more variety, an easier and more enjoyable shopping experience. It gets too crowded so that creates stress. I had to reverse my huge trolley (with hardly anything in it) down the aisle because of the pile up of trolleys and people ahead of me.

I don't get why you have to buy 2 loaves of bread when it isn't cheaper than buying bread on special elsewhere. They sell yesterday's bread (like other stores), and when I went at 10 AM they didn't even have today's bread out y...Read more

Costco has all the selections of brand name products and groceries under one roof. Quality clothing from Levi's to Guess and Nike are just some of the brands in store. The meat & seafood selection is great and priced accordingly for the Quality. The fruit at times can be slightly outdated, otherwise normally fresh.
I do all my shopping in one hit, saving me time and money and don't waste my time at Woolworths or Coles and to hell with Harvey Norman, pure rip offs!

Well worth the $60 annual membership. For all the whinging and whining Aussie...Read more

Shopping at Costco for over a year, and I've probably shopped there over 50 times. Many are saying that the customer service is appealing, yet I disagree. Ive found their customer service to be very well, I recently bought a massage chair that was around 60-70 kgs. I simply asked one of the workers if they could help me put it in my trolley and they did. Thinking that was all they also offered to help me bring it down to my car and also put it in the boot. The food is very unique, there are so many things there you won't be able to get in your ...Read more

Thought id give Costco a go last week so went online and paid the $60 membership (Which is kinda rubbish btw) and went down to the Auburn store.
Like most stores it was chaos but thats hardly unexpected nor surprising especially considering the population size of NSW and that we only have the one store. Went through and got my photo for my card (You'd think for $60 they could print a colour photo) and then continued into the massive store. On the whole the store was ok better product display would help though it is very much a warehouse settin...Read more
