I'll still need to go to another store for some of my more specific items that I need. Great way to stock up on school snacks for several months at a time.

In all my years as a disabled person, this is the first time in any Costco I was asked if I would…read morelike to use a cart. At first I was worried that I would have to grip the bar tightly to drive (like a quad) but this mobility cart is created for those with stiff to similar to arthritic hands or in general low hand mobility/dexterity. I really appreciate the guy taking time to ask me & then to give a quick tutorial. Great for left & right hand users too. Wasn't sure if the cart would hold the charge as it was questionable on the display (and they were all hushed together plugged in) but I made it to all my necessary items plus grabbed a few more as the charge seemed to be holding strong (I never did the crazy covid TP stock up, but for small wins of the day, it was kind of exciting to be able to reach that far back into the store & by myself vs asking friends to walk the distance on behalf of me). The mobility cart is a bit touchy & definitely don't want to take it down the shorter cut through aisles (as the turning radius isn't there with such a big basket). For the most part it gave me the freedom to do more of my own personal shopping (granted the getting up & down was quickly maxing out my knees) as I wasn't allocating shopping time & walking distance to what pain I'm in & what pain I will be in if I go any further on the hard cement floor. That's a huge deal in my mind to leave Costco only slightly worse than I entered. As I was shopping with my other 2 friends (as I usually go with at least one person to be my legs for the further distances &/or arms to help carry or push a cart), this was the first time in ages I could offer to be the one "driving the cart". We all got what we needed & were happily surprised to see self-checkouts installed at this location. Made it much faster than the traditional stand in line for 20 min. Not only are the self checkouts well spaced for those really big Costco carts & have a side area large enough for all the items you might buy but they had 3 staff on hand to help with self-checkout. One in particular that was very good at approaching someone disabled & very kind & observant with what would be harder to scan myself (basically everything larger in my cart). I think besides the fruit, I had 2 small boxes I scanned myself. Super fast. I don't know if all those tills are marked for disabled users or if I got lucky to find the right self-checkout till (it has the blue icon on the screen) but this staff member was really good at letting me know they could get someone else to assist me with loading in my vehicle (a first ever offered to me by Costco) & where to return the mobility cart. As I had my friends going with me into the parking lot, I wasn't too worried about loading. I could always call them over to help if needed. I sat back down to back the cart up & I had another Costco attendant almost behind me already offering to drive it back into the store for me. That way I didn't have to walk all the way back out. I don't know what kind of new hiring method Costco is doing but keep it up. Seriously. Those 3 employees deserve some gold stars! On a side note, I've shopped at this Costco for more years. There's still some work with other staff, aisle spacing & general customer awareness that would assist with the success of mobility carts being used regularly but this is definitely the right step towards becoming better for those that need more accessible options. Again, this is the first time I've ever noticed more than one mobility cart & long overdue to have staff that can recognize those that need assistance. Heck even give recognition that a box won't work for someone with a cane... I really hope this isn't a one off experience as honestly this could change how often I shop. Way to step it up Costco.

St. Albert Costco continues to be my favorite location. No matter how long the lines (even at…read moreXmas) I've never waited more than 10 minutes to check out. This location has propane - bonus! So so cheap compared to prefilled tanks anywhere else. Love the large parking spots - why can't all parking lots be like Costco? My favorite can't live without Costco item - Rotisserie chicken (especially the day old ones in the cooler for $2 off) - they make the BEST stock and soup in the instant pot! Also shout out to the pharmacy with the LOWEST dispensary fees in the province! See you soon Costco, real soon! PS *Bring back the lattes and cappuccinos in the food court!*

Finally got my Costco membership, after just tagging along with family members that had one. Was…read morehesitant at first since it is just myself but there are some great deals here. PRO's Was looking for winter tires and they are much cheaper here than at the other tire stores. Bonus was they were even on sale from the regular price when I was looking. They carry both the 2 best winter tires, Bridgestone WS90 and Michelin Ice. If there are things that you go through lots of fast, you will find it cheaper to buy in bulk here. For myself that would be razors, spinach, and some of the meats and poultry. If you have a freezer even better. They gave some great ready to go food as well. And yes, the rotisserie chicken is a great deal and great for an easy and tasty dinner! Lastly, the best deal I love here and worth the membership alone is the gas or propane fill up. I have a fire table and a BBQ and have 3 propane tanks that need to be filled every summer. The cost to fill all 3 is about how much it would cost to fill 1 at most places! CON's Everything is mostly bulk so for a single person like myself I don't buy any fruits or things that could go bad fast. There never seems to be a down time, so always prepare for lineups. If you don't have much to buy, going thru the self checkout is faster. There is an annual membership cost either $60 or $120. But if you're like me and even just go for propane, you will find that you make back the cost from that savings alone. For a single person like me I still go buy some things at other grocery stores that I don't need in bulk, such as vegetables, fruits and naked goods. But I love going here to pick up bulk things that work out so much cheaper and will lasts me weeks or months.

Costco is a warehouse type store with large quantity selling of items in many departments…read more Food is the biggest department of the store with fresh foods (meats, dairy, fruits and vegetables, baked good such as desserts) as well as dry goods (coffee and tea, snacks), and frozen foods (appetizers, main entrees and desserts. Beverages are also sold, such as soda pop, coffee and tea, water, to name a few. Costco also has a fair sized pharmacy where you can find anything that the regular pharmacy sells, plus a prescription counter and an optometrist department. Clothes, furniture, cameras and electronics are also sold. When you are done shopping, many can be hungry, but thankfully there is a restaurant on location. And if you are in need of fuel for your vehicle, or need a tire change, Costco offers these services. Shopping at Costco does require a membership to shop there. There is personal membership (Gold Star and Executive Member), and business membership. All have different membership fees and do offer different benefits for each. Finally, Costco is a store that can be more expensive to shop at, but it os worth the price as you get a larger quantity of what you need !!

I like shopping at Costco and this location is no exception. Historically I would visit this one as…read moreit was close to my old union office but we still sometimes come here when we're in this area of town. As it isn't the Costco I'm most familiar with, sometimes we spot things here we wouldn't otherwise but it isn't quite organized the same as our preferred Costco location so that sometimes hampers our experiences. There is a huge parking lot and it is a bit awkward to access from the street given the land configuration/road configuration but it is a pretty decent place to shop, just like any other Costco!

There was active wear, work clothes, and casual clothes in various bright colours and sizes. They had some items on sale in the middle of the aisle. I noticed a kids' clothing section as well. The household items section is small but I did notice items such as an air fryer, curtains, seasonal items such as BBQ utensils, and other knick knacks you may need for home. The food section is a bit cramped but you can find most of the basics and some decent sales too. The regular prices aren't cheap compared to other discount stores and there is not much for produce. The staff aren't friendly or seem happy to be working there but at least it was efficient when I went to pay.

Alright, let's be clear, Miniso touts itself as a Japanese inspired style dollar store, when it is…read moreactually Chinese. Almost everything there is made in China & most of their chain stores are based there as well. My in-law always seems to buy my family souvenirs from this brand whenever he goes to China. I was surprised that they've expanded to Canada so I had to pay it a visit. The store itself is small, but there is just enough room to manoeuvre a regular stroller but the aisles are tight & not in straight rows like most dollar stores. Pricing is not cheap like a dollar store, but affordable for what they offer. I would say item quality is superior than dollar store for many things. Items are also packaged very nicely & uniformly, look stylish/trendy/classy, some are also unique, and kid friendly, so it seems like your getting a good deal. I've never really had complaints about the stuff I've received from there or from what I bought. The staff are pretty friendly too & although there is very limited parking in the front, there's also parking stalls available at the back of the building too. I'd definitely come back to find some new things that 'I didn't know I needed in my life until I got there' type stuff.
