Yes there is one Costco in Iceland! Do you need a membership card? How expensive is the food? Are there samples? I reached out on my Instagram and answered ALL your questions about Costco in Iceland. In this video I walk through the store showing you prices and items that are for sale - food, candy, cafeteria, and more! Plus we grab our favorite snack at the end - a hot dog.

In the US I always go into Costco just showing my membership on my app. In Iceland I tried that, but I had to get out my actual card to be scanned. Not a big deal, but if you are used to using the app in the US make sure you bring the actual card.

We made sure to leave time on the way to the airport to visit Costco. Filled up the rental car with gas, bought some big bags of Icelandic candy and got some socks. Fun going up and down the aisles to see what was different! Just like going to Costco at home except they did want to scan our card instead of just showing it.

My Daughter put together travel snack baggies, for the two of us, before we left for Iceland. She used some of all of the dried fruits, nuts, seeds, granola & things that I had in the pantry. A snack for the road she said. I never touched it driving nor on the flight. Every morning before we started our day, we ate Skyr with some of her hand blended trail mix on top. What a great way to start the day. When in Iceland Skyr is a great breakfast choice. Peace.

If you're from the UK it's basically the same. We were staying in hotels during our stay so didn't buy much just some snacks for the car or if we got stuck. Skyr, drinks which we couldn't finish and gave away, chocolate, fruit etc. The fuel was much cheaper. Yes you need a Costco membership to shop there and the card can be used worldwide. If you don't have to go, apart from fuel, I wouldn't bother. It was the novelty for us.

Thanks for the informative video. Just returned from Iceland and visited Costco and prior to visiting in person had little information based on the videos of others. During the trip I enjoyed having individual duvets since my GF uses our large one like a burrito and I am left with nothing. They have multiple options of duvets and organic and bamboo duvet covers that we put ina vacuum bag and brought home. They also have hiking poles, tights, and other useful items in the area near the clothes. The brands are mostly from Europe, so same items from a different country have ingredients to watch out for if you have allergies. The raw cured UK bacon was a big hit and reason enough to get a place with a kitchen. Skyr was a great price and if you do not have a fridge storing outside can keep it cool 😎

We were just in Iceland in September and I can say that everything she references is 100% accurate. Funny story about the "Alcohol" part of the store. Unlike the US stores you can't by your alcohol at this "Costco". I didn't realize this and went into the '"Alcohol" area (it's a separate room in the store). As I was walking around a lady (employee) comes rushing in asking me for my retail papers (She wanted some kind of a license that proved I was an seller of Alcohol). I told her I just had my membership and I wasn't selling any, I just wanted to purchase for my own consumption and she said "Not allowed", resale only. I asked her if I could at least take a picture of the "area" as it looked quite interesting and different from the "Costco" back home and she said NO....

I spent nine days in Iceland last October. We rented an Airbnb in Kopavogur. We did not shop at Costco but if we had stayed longer, we would have. We did visit the three big grocery stores: Bonus, Kronan and Haugkaup. I would have to say that Kronan, the mid range store, had the best selections for the fairest prices. Bonus is like shopping at Aldi and Haugkaup is more like shopping at Whole Foods in The USA. Each has its place. We shopped at Kronan and Bonus mostly. It is fun to shop with the locals and watch what they buy!

Alcohol for the public is sold in special stores called "Vínbúðin". Similar system as in Norway and Sweden. The price of hard liquor is, I guess, about 90% tax. That is why it so expensive. Not much room for variety in price when the tax is so high.
