Costco is on a league of its own. Why? Aside from all the consumables sold at cheaper prices, it bakes this huge (and very cheap!) pepperoni pizza and chicken bake! Ha-ha-ha! Yes, I am only after the baked goodies!
as if I needed to. Ha-ha-ha!)
I remember, years ago, on my third night in Korea, I took the subway and smartly navigated my way to Sangbong Station from Itaewon, trying to locate the house of a kababayan. I got to Sangbong Station all right, but could not locate the residence from Exit 2. I thought the Geumran Church was just a walking distance away. I didn't yet have a Korean cellphone at that time, so I did what a helpless, lost stranger would: ask for help! At the Costco counter!
I asked the Costco clerk if I could make a phone call from her telephone, and she let me! How helpful! And my kababayan fetched me from there.
and raisin cookies!)
And now, seven years since, I still go back to Costco in Sangbong, which is conveniently accessible through Line No. 1 from my Hannam Station to the new Mang-u Station.
And when I do visit, I always get myself at least three chicken bakes along with my staple breakfast cereals, and a few yummy things to enjoy.
And today, I got myself the most essential of groceries: Quaker's Granola, cookies, chicken bakes and calzone!

And yes, you do need to be a member to get the groceries. But for the baked goodies, you need not be one. You can just bypass the supermarket through the elevator down to the food court, which is always full!
And don't forget your own shopping bag....for the cookies and baked goodies!
reminds me of S&R here =)
