| - I love Costco, but I don't love how overly-crowded this place gets on weekends. You'd be lucky to find parking within five minutes, and once you're inside, maneuvering around cart traffic can also be a challenge.
Not only can you buy everything in bulk, samples are provided at almost every aisle. Their rotisserie chicken is a common favorite - there is usually a line up for them.
Like IKEA, Costco also has a cafeteria with cheap comfort food! $1 for a hot dog? What a sweet deal. The poutines are really good as well for under $5.
They do lack variety in the vegetables section. If you're looking to stock up on veggies, they sell prepackaged frozen assorted veggies, or the only fresh ones are spinach, green beans, mushrooms and brussels sprouts. I was disappointed not being able to find broccoli or kale.
It's also the best place for body builders to stock up on chicken, beef, and other sources of protein + protein powder and bars.
The only credit card accepted is American Express, otherwise you can only pay in cash or debit. Line up to pay is always shorter near the middle - I'm not sure why everyone crowds to the right side.
