NP and that's my issue as well, the Pentagon City location seems to always be a sh*tshow. Anyone know if the other locations in NoVa are any better?

Any other costco is better than the pentagon city costco. That place is a zoo

When we lived closest to that one I drove to Springfield. And then to the one that's down Route 1 in the Fairfax County part of Alexandria. Anything to avoid the Pentagon City one. Even now, that one is technically closest to our place in DC, but I still drive to go to the one in NE.

One car rental through costcotravel.com was enough to offset the membership. But I rarely shop there. And when I do its for seafood like fresh crab and meat like whole tenderloin, rib racks, and strip loins. And booze.

Well I guess I'll be giving Costco another shot. My first Costco experience was at Pentagon City and all I could think was "never again!"

Pentagon City is better with the new garage but it's still a shitshow. With a teen boy, I'm buying eggs, bacon, turkey, organic chicken breast and organic ground beef every few weeks. Have also bought discounted gift cards to King's Dominion, iFly, and the movies. Bought my last set of tires there and they will reinflate with nitrogen for free. Bought auto oil for my last car the until I figured out that Jiffy Lube will top off for free. DH likes their cotton undershirts, sweaters, bedsheets. We get things like vitamins, Advil, toothpaste and contact lens solution at great prices.
