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. Line up to pay was daunting but it moved surprisingly quickly.

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.

I started going here about 12 years ago when I moved into Old Strathcona. Back then, I found this…read morestore to be dingy and disorganized. I could not stand the long lines at the registers, so I quit going. Yesterday, curiosity got the better of me. I noticed they spruced things up a bit and I wanted to see for myself. I asked a staff member if I needed a membership because it had been so long since my last visit, I wasn't sure if things had changed in that area. Happily, I didn't need one and I just picked up a couple of things. Produce mostly. I was pretty happy with what I saw, but they still try to hock their near-expired meats and veg on certain racks. It looks disgusting. Overall, it sure is a lot cleaner and brighter inside. At 3:30 pm, I did not have to wait long to pay. I think I'll be back in the very near future.

The store has a variety of cooking / baking and kitchen needs. From home cooking to restaurant / buffet equipment ( I even noticed they sell hot dog machines !! ) . The meat / deli bulk fridge is well stocked as well. I usually buy the bigger cuts of beef and pork because during the time I spent at home I learned how to cut them into meal portions ( thanks YouTube ). I actually save quite a bit of money when I buy in bulk. The freezer section has a lot of different products - not just your normal frozen chicken / beef. The seafood area is also well stocked with a lot of choices. Sadly Edmonton does not really have a fresh fish market. Lots of frozen pies and cakes as well. One thing I also like here is the wide selection of spices and dried goods . I use a lot of spices when I am cooking . Spice is the variety of life isnt it? There is also a wide variety of drink crystals, syrups and other choices. Once i have loaded up, off to the tills. Due to covid, you have to stand at a spot on the floor and wait your turn but the wait is never too long. While you wait they tease you with racks of candy and snacks.. tempting though. The one thing I like is bagging my own groceries. It always amazes me how much I can actually put into one plastic bag vs staff who pretty much insist on using far too many bags. I dont really care the loaf of bread is sitting on top of a carton of eggs. A few bags later, I am stocked up for awhile and dont have to go back to get more every second week or so. I love how the staff there wear t-shirts that say " be kind ". How sad we have to tell people to behave themselves.. but then again there are some that just feel better yelling at staff . Good store if you want to stock up for a long time.. worth going just before winter so you dont have to go out in minus 40. Yea there are things that are slightly more expensive than other stores but the idea is to buy in bulk and stock up. Definitely worth going for your bulk needs without having to buy a membership.

Now you can find a Dollar store in most malls or by the big box stores. I was in Westmount and decided to check out their birthday decoration selection. Although they did have some decorations, they didn't have anything specific for milestone birthdays. It was more of the generic standard streamers or birthday banner, candles, and napkins and plates. I browsed the other aisles and they do have a large selection of items for the home, holidays, and just about anything else you want to spend a dollar or two on. Seems pretty busy too but I didn't find anything I wanted for a dollar.

They were really busy (the saleslady claimed they weren't but there were about 12 people in line). It took awhile for them to get someone else up at the till to help with the huge line up and when someone id come to help, they didn't make a great transition. Instead of telling the next person in line to go over to the new till, they let it be a free-for-all so everyone rushed over to the newly opened till. It was really disorganized. This Dollarama has a good selection though. It's pretty big and they have a lot of good stuff. The staff brings their rating down significantly though.
