Late to thread:
Other likes: Genuine Belgian Stella Artois, not the AU bottled stuff; the Korean bulgogi is great; the cuts of meat are excellent quality, the fruit and veges seem export quality, fresher than supermarkets.
Likewise we spend $400-600 every visit. Really close for us, just over the Bolte Bridge.
Their customer satisfaction guarantee works as well as they claim.

Love the Speedy Berries - go well in the Nutribullet smoothies.

They have Poppycock in big canisters - yum.
Big boxes of sachets of "Swiss Miss" drinking chocolate.

Catering assistance - we've pre-ordered their sandwiches and buffalo wings when I've had to cater for Owners Corporation Christmas functions: very handy.

I always seem to find bagels in my trolley.

We vary our shopping between the Casula and Auburn stores although we have been known to go for a drive and have called into the Canberra store. I hate the Auburn store but it's near MrNatalies work. I like the parking layout at Casula and have filled up with fuel once or twice there.

Plus a cheeky cup of soft serve icecream always seems to reduce my angst if lots of other people have been there at the same time.

I really want to try one of their Sundaes...we do like the pizza slices for a quick lunch on the way out.

Are those suits in Australia? Got a new pair of trousers last week for $170. Turns out they are really, really, really, really uncomfortable and will probably be chucked. I would've much preferred to buy a suit for $200.

Yes mate - Costco Moorabbin VIC - all the pics I post here will be Oz stores or I will clearly label posts if outside Oz.

Was that a halal certificate on the bottom of the wrapper I could see?..

All meat purchased by Costco comes from 'Halal Certified' processing plants. Once meat is in Costco chillers cryovaced bulk primals such as fillet / scotch / rump / porterhouse / roasts etc do indeed have Halal notations.

However Costco do break down a lot of larger sections such as their chops / small number steaks also - this is done in a breaking room where pork is also handled - NEVER on same tables but definitely in same room. I would suggest anybody requiring clarification or further info just go ask the meat section and you can make meaningful decisions from there - they will even show you where / how they handle the meat.

Very nice loin chops! Best I've had in years.

Do they have the Kirkland chocolate coated macadamias? I have them in the best of the best at Costco Marina del Rey and Salt Lake City.

I could only find these ones cove:



Any Rocklea Road lovers:



Quick check of Champs:



And:

 

[Cruiser Elite]

And for those who refuse to visit WW because of their confusing price tagging:



Hope this is clear enough:



And this his pack highlighters looked worth the sugar to me:



But it then again I don't get out much so maybe they are over the odds - I'll let you guys be the judge.

 

[Franky]

Is that per bottle!!

 

[cove]

I am carrying the home brand Kirkland chocolate coated macadamias in my luggage from the US along with Sees 2 pound deal and some Godiva chocolates for the staff. Heavy bags tonight.

Anyone done Costco in HNL ??

Yes. Been to the one at Iwilei in HNL. We were staying at Hilton Waikiki Beach (Prince Kuhio in a former life) and there is a bus stop across the street.

From memory we got the nbr 19 bus which says "Airport/Hickam". We first went to Ala Moana shopping center to the Paradise Cafe in the food court as they make yummy turkey melts before we continued on.
