It's hard to hate on Costco. I mean, what's not to love? They've got quality products, they treat their employees well, you can save a lot in the long run when shopping there, and if you're ever broke one week, just swing by and live off of samples.
In my book, Costco (in general) gets five stars. The problem I have is with THIS particular location. Specifically, prices. I don't know what it is about THIS particular Costco, but for some reason their prices are often higher than those at other Costco locations in the valley. The most glaring example to me was for a bottle of Glenlivet 12 scotch. At every other Costco in town it's usually about $26; here, it's something like $32! Yeah, it's only six bucks, but this is freaking COSTCO - saving money is the whole idea. Plus, at that price, the bottle was more expensive there than at most local liquor stores. That's just one example, and I've noticed higher prices at this location than at other local locations on various other items. Frankly, I don't understand why one location would be more expensive than the others, but this one is.
Save yourself some money and hit up the Costco on Elliot and Priest, or roll on up to Scottsdale.
