Costco creates great value for its members. I love the treasure hunt feel looking for bargains at each location. Highly recommend Kirkland branded items for good deals.

I've been to many many COSTCO's up and down the state of California and on the island of Oahu, but this is the first COSTCO I have encountered since I arrived here in this lovely state of Iowa and it was as expected, pretty awesome! I found out that I can never walk into a COSTCO without spending a couple hundred dollars or more!!

The great treasure hunt always gets you! Great quality items. Deli & bakery items are delicious. Mocha frappe from the food court is a must!

One incentive to get a Costco membership? Gasoline. Gasoline prices at Costco are always quite a bit cheaper than other gas stations. Right now gas in Iowa City is around $3.89/gallon and at Costco it's $3.59/gallon. I'll take that extra 30 cents I'm saving per gallon and buy some of that pre-made Costco mac&cheese. It's always a hit in our household. Not to mention the street tacos, cheap Greek yogurt and irresistible samples. I love Costco. Generally, it's cheaper to buy household goods here (trash bags, paper towels, toilet paper, shower necessities). However, if you really want to penny pinch beware that not all of their food is a great deal. Pasta and beans are often cheaper at places like ALDI. Whatever you get yourself into, enjoy the spaciousness and covered parking lot of this Costco. It's superior to Delaware and D.C. locations that I've frequented purely because you don't feel like you're playing bummer cars with your carts and you don't have to fight someone's auntie for a parking spot just to get into the store.

THIS PLACE IS A ZOO! Granted we were in here on a Saturday afternoon, but still. I've never seen a Costco that isn't a zoo. We're new members because my husband heard great things about their optical department. We bought the $60 Basic membership online, knowing that one day we'd have to go to the store to pick-up our membership cards. Well, that day was today. We went to the membership services counter to get our cards. Almost immediately (and long before our cards were printed) we were told about the Executive Membership and Costco Citi Bank credit card. They're VERY aggressive at this location when it comes to upselling memberships and selling their credit card. We upgraded to the Executive Membership for an extra $60, but did not go for the credit card pitch. We don't use credit cards. You have to keep your Costco membership active to avoid the credit card's 15% APR. We also don't plan to shop at Costco weekly or maybe even monthly, yada, yada. However, if you like credit cards and Costco, this may be the perfect card for you! I actually commend the employee who tried to sell us the credit card. She spent far longer with us than she needed to. Upselling is a tough job to do and we almost gave in. Now back to the main reason we became members - the Optical Department. It was great. My husband found a pair of frames and with the lenses the total was less than $110. Barbara, in the optical dept. was lovely. Super friendly. She also gave us pricing information about contact lenses, so we'll likely be back for those. Overall all selection of men's frames was small (when compared to our eye dr.'s office). I think the $120 membership was too much for our needs and we won't get a lot of use out of it. We'll see how the year goes. We've been Sam's Club members for years, but now live in Iowa City. Sam's Club isn't nearly as hectic as Costco, and I much prefer that shopping experience to the one we had today. The attached/indoor/covered parking garage was a neat experience -- if parking garages are experience worthy. :) Could use a good trash clean-up though. Visa/Cash/Check only. Pros and cons to Costco for sure, but everyone should try it out at least once.

Good job social distancing at registers and mask wearing. The best place to get eyeglasses and hearing aids. surprisingly good options for vegans and vegetarians. Quality birdseed. Deserving of loyalty because they held firm about protecting the public and employees when the pandemic began and did their best to bring in large orders of TP and disinfectant when others couldn't.

Just watch out for the COVID Karen at the front door (literal name), extremely rude, condescending and unprofessional. Seems to relish her little authority and insulting customers as they enter.

Here are some of the reasons i love Costco. 1) Produce is taken care of better here. 2) The options for buying things in bulk that are healthy is easier here. 3) Its clean the floors are actually clean which makes me worry less in this covid time 4)Pork belly don't pass this one up its a great price and adds a flare to your food. 5) Parking i wish all costcos had this. Thanks heartland trucking for leaving a great parking garage for costco

Seems like each time I am in Iowa City I end up at the tire center. Not all tires are in stock. Or they did not want do it because my truck was full from all my work supplies. Normally, they have been helpful. But I have driven to and from Iowa City with a nail in my tire. Now waiting on tires.
