can we have some more prices please, i was going to join years ago but didnt bother, now with a baby i may reconsider.
thanks

I buy Huggies Nappies at Costco - they are about £15.00 plus vat for 186 nappies. In a few weeks time there is a coupon for almost buy one get one free - the last time this was on I bought 4 boxes and i am still using them.

Sometimes the Johnsons Baby wipes are as little as £3 odd plus VAT for the box of 6, next time they can be £6 - even at £6 its cheaper than Boots etc.

I have also bought the Johnsons Baby bath - its about £6 plus VAT for 6 bottles.

The biggest tub of sudocreme is about £6 plus VAT - again cheaper than I have seen elswhwere.

Hope this helps

Good idea mrs scrooge!

Definitely the large birthday cakes - when I'm there I always try and pick up some of the fax forms at the bakery - just fill in the child's details and fax to them a couple of days before you need to collect the cake. Have also used these cakes for other special occasions such as a thank you / leaving do.

When the passports are around (usually Oct / Nov?), most of the deals on there are pretty unbeatable and worth stocking up on - I still have a garage full of loo rolls, kitchen rolls, tissues, bold tablets, finish tablets, not to mention the huggies nappies from end of last year!!

The kirkland signature, costco's own brand, can be pretty good too - in the past I used their baby wipes happily, although I have never tried their nappies.

Teabags are usually a good buy, as is coffee in the large tins - I usually decant some coffee into a smaller container and seal the big tin with foil to try and keep it fresh though.

Baby car seats when they have them can be good value, as can strollers etc.

Batteries - kirkland sig are fine for these too.

Black bags and bin liners - I always get these when I'm there. Disposable gloves - a large pack lasts ages for any messy jobs, and I always keep a pair or two in the car in case I have to get under the bonnet.

Their flowers are gorgeous too, and I think good value for what you get.

Office supplies such as printer refill cartridges and paper can be good, but need to compare with staples, viking or online.

I'm sure I'll think of more soon!

I buy my mince, chicken breasts, chicken satay sticks ( £5 for 25) Mozzareella sticks, bacon, muffins etc. They are all great quality and cheaper than supermarket. The frozen chicken breasts are £8 for around 15/16 breasts. Also buy the southern fried chicken reasts from the freezer - they are £10 for around 15 breasts too = big though. I ry and go once a month to stock up the freezer.

I also buy the box of greeting cards - just under £9 for around 30 cards - Hallmark and great quality. Packs of wrapping paper are great about £6 for 240 assorted sheets llasts years!
