Lamb rack, beef tenderloins, salmons, porks, cheese, sausages, etc. are actually high quality. They are quite thick as well. I do believe there are some savings as well.
Other than that, if you need to buy things in BULKS, Costco is the place to go. -

I'm gonna give this location a 1 star for it's policy, rather than any service in particular. While I am Canadian, I've been overseas working as an Expat for more than a decade. As my fiancee is a foreigner, we wanted to go inside to see what all the rage is about.
Unfortunately we weren't allowed to go inside and see what is on offer inside the store. You have to show your membership card in order to get in which I am sure all the readers already know. We thought a simple explanation that we were new to Toronto and wanted to see what goods were offered before dishing out $55 dollars for a membership was reasonable, but apparently not... their solution - wait in the long lineup (It's Saturday & Easter Weekend) and once you go in if you are unhappy we will refund your membership fee...
Fair enough, it's a membership club & they are permitted to have their own rules - overall result - more than $1,000 dollars spent today at other "big box" retailers that could have been costco's.
During my MBA studies, I did several case studies on the Walmart/Costco rivalry and I simply had much higher expectations in terms of service levels from higer-paid Costco employees. For now I will continue to give other "big box" retailers my business... Makes me wonder what the Lifetime Value of Each Customer is at Costco and how much this mistake will cost them in the long-term. -

This Costco serves the North York area of GTA and is the one closest to a TTC subway station (by close I mean its a good 10 minute walk from Wilson Station) nevertheless this location makes its accessible to people who don't have cars or don't feel like getting a Zipcar :) Most of the items are similar to what is available at other Costco except this location carries a lot of Kosher items (meats, produce etc) In addition this is the only location where I found the smoked meat pizza from Dunn's (trust me folks this is one pizza you have to try as it is better than any other frozen pizza you will find in pretty much any grocery store!) The meat especially the steaks are the best value/quality proposition bar none in the city.
The location along with the legendary return policy of Costco warrants a 4 star. -

Now I finally know where "Kirkland"products comes from..
I have NEVER been to Costcos before. My mom has a membership and alot of my friends also do..
So I was dragged here yesterday to do grocceries..
First of all you need a Membership card just to go here.. you have to show them it just to get inside the store!!
Then you grab this GIGANTIC cart and head into this GIGANTIC store that looks like a warehouse..
TONES of people..
ALOT of carts..
LOTS of stuff..
They have swarvoski crystals all the way down to Elizabeth Arden cosmetics- wow!
Very impressed..
Alot of free food samples..
Cafeteria thing for when you leave from walking for a good couple hours browsing all the interesting things you would never think you could see in a store that looks like a giant warehouse!
-be prepared for lots of people
-lots of food
-lots of carts
-lots of sales people
-lots of pushing
-lots of BULK items
-lots of HUGE items like GIANT MUSTARD or TONES OF NUTS! -

I love this place - Could walk around for hours buying tons of bulk shit I dont need!!!!! Incredible!!! Who doesnt buy Costco water?!?!?!
THE ABSOLUTE ULTIMATE BEST PART IS THE KIRKLAND LAKE GRANOLA in the huge plastic tub. I could sit for hours eating that, so fooled by the Granola name that makes me think...mmmm...not so bad for me :) And not just cause I love eating it when i am kinda "out there." -

Forty degrees outside in July and no summer clothes to be found. Winter coats were on sale, and morons were trying them on. I kind of hate going to Costco because of the crowds and carts and because I rarely need three years' worth of peanut butter, but it is the best place to go for diapers.

I haven't been to Costco in years, but it was the best place to buy food for 20 ppl we were feeding at a barbeque. I don't remember there being so much produce and actual perishible food in the back, nor as a kid did I appreciate the awesome deals that is Costco.
Not only do they have everything you can find in a grocery store, but everything is in bulk! I think I bought a lifetime supply of plastic cups.
Also some great deals on shampoos and other p&g products.
TRAP! -

Costco is always a crazy zoo with people pushing around shopping carts that are truly too full and they think they are getting a good deal but some things aren't such a good deal and they are also making you over buy an item because you think its cheaper when it isn't. So you really have to be careful what you are buying at Costco, somethings are a good find and others you can do better buying at Walmart, etc.

Slight preference to this location over Etobicoke for two reasons:
1. It is in a large shopping area with other stuff nearby.
2. It seems less full of pushy people and brats whose parents need to have them on leashes. Maybe Vaughanians are more laid back.
On the other hand, the checkers and service in the Etobicoke store are faster and better.
