Monroe, who calls herself the "Costco Connoisseur," started her corresponding Instagram in August 2014, shortly after starting her website, where she blogs reviews of Costco products and price comparisons. But Monroe's affinity for the warehouse chain began long before then. She went to Costco as a teenager but started shopping there for herself in her early twenties.
"If I get to them, I get to them," she said of the warehouses she has yet to cross off her list, some of which are located in far-flung destinations like Japan, Taiwan, South Korea, andNow having visited over 200 Costco stores, Monroe's title as the Costco Connoisseur is certainly fitting. She says she's developed a finer understanding of the company that has made her able to notice features a regular shopper might gloss over on a regular visit.
"I started to realize that literally every warehouse is different and no two warehouses carry the exact same merchandise," Monroe said.Kevork Djansezian/Getty Images For example, the Costco in Pentagon City in Arlington, Virginia, has a chocolate shop in its bakery section. The Costco Business Center in Orlando has a "Costco Market" where you can buy cheap items individually — not in bulk.Ramsey said that this Costco Market, located in a Costco Business Center in Orlando, Florida, is a must-visit every time she is traveling nearby.
Monroe said a Costco warehouse in Queens, New York, is located inside an old foundry for metal casting."It has a super unique kind of quirky layout," Ramsey said of the warehouse.
