Which Costco is closest to the bus terminal station (Donhae I think it is called)? Also anyone know if Costco's sell tortillas or any other mexican style stuff, like guacamole, or sour cream. Any idea about ranch sauce? If they do sell tortillas, any idea on how to keep them fresh for a long time? I'd like to buy a bunch and take them back to my town. I think I can get beans, cheese, hot sauce, and make my own pico de gallo.

You can find Costco locations on their website I think.

Memberships are 35,000 (but you can split it between a friend, you get two cards)

They have salsa, and tortillas for sure. I think I saw sour cream there, but not sure. No luck on Ranch. I just freeze the tortillas, then take them out as I need them.

I made sure to bring a bunch of taco seasoning with me when I came. You can have family or friends mail them to you.

Best of luck

i wouldn't join costco just for mexican fixings. generic salsa can be had at many places. flour tortillas can often be found at homeplus or emart. corn AND flour tortillas (from costco, slight markup) can be found at the foreign food mart in itaewon.

they dont have guacamole anywhere as far as i know - used to have yucatan.

sour cream is available in korea...denmark brand, same as the yogurt.

Get some blocks of Kirklands cheddar cheese while you are there. I just bought 80 tortillas and 3 blocks of cheese this weekend. Also had 10kg of chicken breast delivered to my door from GMarket. I am set.

You can buy avocados at Costco. Find some that are not ripe. Throw one in a paper bag or newspaper to ripen it. Make your own guacamole. Much better than store bought.

Here's an awesome video about Korean Costco from Simon and Martina who run the excellent eatyourkimchi.com video blog.
