Hearing some complaints lately about the H Street store. They are moving departments around inside the store and it's hard to find things right now.

It stimulates impulse shopping while you hunt down the item on your list.

Yeah. I figure it is about product placement and impulse buying. That day the diet iced teas were stocked next to a road show for Greek Pitas and
Hummus/Tahini. I do go to CostCo with a list but like others have said, getting out under $100 with only what is on the list is nearly impossible.
We're suckers for any new food items that pop up. Rarely do we leave without a few spit-roasted chickens no matter which store we hit. The big sell
for us is the fresh produce at incredible prices- tomatoes, berries of all types, portabellos...

The seafood stuffed salmon is a regular item for us- but we only buy it within one day of the packing date on the label. Yum

Costco in the US as Woosh said the Costco's in Ca vary from store to store I was amazed at the difference between the quality and or quanity of goods
between the two stores Costco Chula Vista and Costco on H street off of the 805 the one off of 805 is far superior to the Chula Vista store

True. I'll get clobbered for this response but: The Costco on Broadway is the closest to the border and has primarily Mexican shoppers and I suppose
mexican-focused purchasers for the that store. I've gone from the front door to the exit ticket checker without speaking a word of English there. The
Costco on East H street is in Rancho del Rey a very upscale mixed area, not frequented by the day-shoppers from TJ. They carry the better quality
items the wealthier Mexicans who live in that area and the predominantly upscale white customers who shop there want. Now I'm gonna run for cover...

costco mexico
Been doing it for 15 years.
Mexico Costco cards work at US Costco gas stations in CA, AZ, TX, OR. WA. so why not everywhere else? Bought lots of gasoline and never a problem.
Mexico Costco cards cannot be used to purchase stuff on line. The server spits out the purchase, regardless if a USA credit card is used for payment.
Away from the border there's always a delay to call a supervisor to key in an international card at the register.
Very few warranties honored across borders. Includes tires and batteries. No warranty whatsoever.
Costco Mexico still allows business members in an hour early. Costco Mexico warehouses have disabled parking (mirror card only - no license plates
honored (!) All warehouses have disabled electric carts.
Hope This Helps
