No electric carts in sight.
Matthias W.

For buying in bulk, good. But if you are disabled, if you are recovering from surgery, have a medical condition that limits your mobility. And therefore you need an electric cart in order to shop, FORGET IT. Costco's only has 2 carts and very likely they are outside in the parking lot. And therefore is no one to help you. Again, only 2 electric carts and they are probably not charged.

This Costco is top-notch, but it's consistently packed, which can make it feel understaffed. I'm reviewing the Optical Center specifically. Dr. Ronald Jacobson, the optometrist, was incredible. He nailed my contact and glasses prescriptions, outperforming even the thorough testing at UH. Plus, he was patient and informative, sharing great tips on contact lens care and dry eye prevention. I'm making Costco my go-to for annual eye exams. The glasses frames at Costco are a steal. They have a great variety of styles at affordable prices. I ordered my new pair from the in-store department, which is located to the left of the main entrance.

This is not the açaí bowls I am used to. Way too sweet

I got the membership for sole purpose of buying my 24 hour 2 year gym membership for 429.00. When you prepay for two years through Costco you save a ton of money. They have some decent products with savings but I feel like Costco is the epitome of Americans and consumerism. People buying stuff they don't really need. Just wasting money on products clothes food etc because they think they are getting a deal. I feel like Costco's business model is to simply get their clients to spend foolishly while making them think they are getting a great deal. I'm sure some people are getting a good deal but I also see people buying so many unnecessary things. Just wasting their money lol. That's the difference between the middle class and the wealthy. Middle class consume and waste their money on BS. Wealthy invest their money so it makes more money for them.

Love this Costco on Gessner and 249. Although always crowded, parking lot is huge. The employees always seem happy and friendly. They seem to enjoy their job, apparent in their communication with shoppers. The building is well-lit, inside and out. The store is spacious, so you don't feel crammed in with the hundreds of other shoppers. There are always plenty of different food samples on weekends. We love trying the various foods and end up buying a lot of them. The employees hosting the food stations are courteous and knowledgeable about the items they're serving. The $4.99 Rotisserie chicken is huge and delicious. The pizza pizza is also gigantic and decently tasty for the $9.99 price. They do allow calling ahead to order the pizza for pickup, which helps eliminate wait time in line, as their Food Court stays super busy. We also love the variety at Costco and selection does vary by location. There are tons of instant savings, good buys and easy return policy. Only thing I don't like is l, I never walk out paying less than $200, but that's because everything is in bulk and I have a shopping issue.

The original ingredient formulation for the chips

Let me start by saying I have been a customer of Costco for decades, I used to have a membership at Sam's Club and Costco at the same time, but about 15 years ago I made a decision to stay with Costco because they were superior in many ways to Sam's Club. Over the last few years I have observed changes within the company's product, quality and prices. These changes have seemed to have accelerated in frequency with the COVID-19 PLANDEMIC. Some of these include dramatic pricing increases on Kirkland brand products, like their detergent, the Kirkland brand lasagna came in a family size package comparable to Stouffer's, It now comes in a two pack much smaller in size but costs more per ounce. There have been many pricie increases on non-Kirkland brands as well, ( courtesy of the engineered fake inflation ) Stella Artois used to come in a 24 pack, now it comes in an 18 pack, and can be purchased at Walmart for a penny less than what Costco is charging, I realize a penny is not much, but I don't pay $120 membership to shop at Walmart. The box of five dozen eggs in the cooler cost $11.39, at H-E-B, you can buy the five dozen eggs box for $6.38. I'm paying $5.19 more for eggs at Costco where I paid $120 per year to be a member just to shop there, explain that logic to me, please.There are many more unpleasantries Costco has imposed upon its patrons that I have not addressed, but the one that pushed me to write this review, this will be the last one I mention. Kirkland brand semi sweet chocolate chips. I had a hard time finding them because they change the packaging from a red bag to a blue bag, but if I remember correctly they are the same price, however I looked at the ingredients and they have changed the formulation used to produce these chips, and it is not for the better, you can look at the pictures I took and see for yourself. Anyway, it's needless to say I am questioning whether or not I am going to continue patronizing Costco as they have turned into another greedy corporation who are compromising quality for profit margin's. The thing that made them stand out from the other bulk stores they are now doing themselves. I figure if enough people get fed up with being abused by these big companies, and stop patronizing them, maybe they'll change their practices and consider customers who appreciate fair prices and quality products.

Generic OTC Meds- very good price!

I was in Houston (March 11th) visiting my BFF. Shopping and restaurants are always high on our priority list along with non stop talking as we try to "catch up"! I hadn't been to this particular Costco so when I looked it up I was surprised to see a mediocre rating as that was not our experience. The associates were friendly and greeted us when we entered. We were on a mission to find an Irish sausage called Bangers. My friend is Irish to the core and although she has eaten them in Ireland she wanted to try to cook some herself for Saint Paddy's day this year. She had spotted somewhere that Costco carried them. This was the third of three planned stops to shop and eat that day. This Costco was very clean and well organized. Considering the large Houston population and the fact that there are several Costco's in the area to support the city I was really quite surprised. One of the team members pointed us in the right direction of where this Irish sausage would be if they indeed did have it in stock. It was the area containing a variety of fresh sausages and a cheese case that was huge with various cheeses from around the world. In the midst of all the sausages we did indeed find the Bangers. We picked up several packages of them. While there I decided to pick up some Omeprozole as I had forgotten to bring it and I planned to be there for a couple more days. The location of their pharmacy and OTC medication was in the same place in this store as in my local Costco. I was in luck as not only did they have their brand (much more cost effective!) but they were three dollars off so I ended up getting a couple of boxes. I have always enjoyed using coupons at Costco because they are automatic at the cash register, nothing to carry around or have scanned in. We really didn't spend a great deal of time here because it was our last stop. We got in line and as I usually find at Costco the lines went quickly. The checkers were very efficient and just like my Costco at home (9 times out of 10) there is another team member to help them and help the customers lift anything heavy from their cart or capture the price without having to move the item to the belt. We were checked out and on our way in no time. This property rates at five stars for me. If you live nearby you might consider giving this Costco a try! I plan on coming back when I am in Houston. I'd like to spend more time wandering around. I'm sure they have some items that are available here, that may not be available when I get home. I have found that although it's definitely a big box store there are nuances depending on the location.

Today I purchased a king size mattress and 2 box springs. My husband sent me in his truck to pick up from the store. I was having a hard time loading the set and Costco employee Alex Figuero was super helpful in helping me. Due to liability, he was unable to help me strap down the mattress set however he went above and beyond and donated his personal strapping system so I could securely strap the set down for the ride back home. We need more folks in the world who step up and help people out!!! I am soo appreciative and so was my husband!!!

The selection feels endless, so many colors, brands, and styles of shirts and other apparel, and everything is organized! I drove from the Humble area to pick up shirts for a special church project, and it was well worth the trip. Their prices were already affordable, and they had clearance deals, too. I visited around noon on a Friday, and the customer service was great, with plenty of people available to help. Another convenience: Transfer Kingdom is right up the street, so I headed there afterward to have the shirts pressed. I'll definitely be back when I have more time to browse. Loved this place... 10 out of 10, highly recommend!

I spent about an hour looking at those colorful shirts and tank tops and sweatshirts. OMG. Thinking what I could do with them. My friend took me here because he knew about Aviva from when it was located in the other side of Harwin area. He bought shirts in multiple colors to match his outfits. I bought 2 of Gildan long sleeves white shirts at half of retail price. One medium and one large. They both fit fine. I also bought Gildan white t shirts compared to the store brand Laviva t shirt. I wouldn't buy that brand again because it's a dollar more and not much difference. I would go back to get some more once I find a good printer to produce the shirts for my next group.

Suns is pretty unique from your Costco and Sam's as they have a larger variety of unique seafoods. They are the only place in Houston I can find raw chicken nuggets that you have to cook fully. This means it tastes much better with less of those preprocessed ingredients. I go here exclusively for my snow crabs and beef fajitas. The quality is off the charts and the size of the snow crabs are massive compared to the tiny ones at your local grocery store. I also find some excellent authentic Asian ingredients and it's always so convenient to pop in and out of there really quickly. What I dislike about it however is their online shopping is non-existent. Their web site isn't helpful at all so don't think you can go there to browse anything. You have to go there to see what they offer. You also don't have to commit to a yearly membership. You can pay like $5 for a daily membership and buy anything in the store you want in that one trip. Save and Prosper!

I felt like walking into an oversized warehouse with double width driveways. I only went through a few aisles, chilling. Majority of stuff are still in boxes. I can only assume if you come shop here frequently, you know what are in there. Price tags are a little confusing. I'm not even gonna go there because I am a casual shopper. Since I don't own or operate a food service, those merchandise won't attract my attention. The only thing I could consider buying is stuff in smaller quantities. Believe or not, I actually bought a membership card for those occasional shopping trips when I really need stuff for the mass. So, I would come back on a long journey here, if I return to North Golden Sun Plaza one of these days.

It's hard to take all of it in. But there's something for just about everyone. They also have a selection of black sorority, apparel, and gifts if you're shopping for yourself as a member or for a new member who has joined the sorority. The associates were kind and helped me find what I needed personally which I appreciate it. I feel like it's best to go shopping here on a Friday afternoon or some other day earlier in the week because the aisles are small and I could see it being packed heavy on weekends with barely room to move around. The prices were very reasonable for the quality. I ended up purchasing a fashion, a bracelet and a pair of earrings.

Today, one of the employees made me feel extremely uncomfortable. I had my headphones on, and I was walking up and down the isles, looking for earrings for a trip coming up, and the employee came up and took my baskets stating I was not able to carry my basket around , I was a little confused since I had been there years with no issues. I typically don't pay attention to the employees when I'm there, but then I realized they were following me around like a hawk. Which I get it to an extent, but I wasn't doing anything suspicious I typically walk in the center of the isles and just look at everything. I only touched stuff if it's something I'm potentially interested in. No big bag I had a small fanny pack. What made it worse was that then I watched other people walking around with their baskets being able to freely shop. Maybe because I keep my headphones on and just look for what I'm looking for, but they felt a certain way. I don't go in corners of the stores or anything. I just go there to shop. Like I said, I have been going here for most of my adult life. I felt super uncomfortable and yucky after that. I will not be returning. The picture I attached is how I was dressed today and what I look like. And like I said, I have been going there for years and never have I had my basket taken away.
