Great ‘What to Buy at Costco & Makro’ Hunt

Thanks, I already had plenty of replacement heads - otherwise I might have gone for an Oral B brush this time, Sonicare are so flippin' expensive. I bought a twin pack of handles at Costco last weekend at £119 inc vat, I don't think that was an especially good price, but needed a toothbrush pronto, and as I say, already got loads of the replacement brush heads.Official DFW Nerd No 096 - Proud to have dealt with my debt!0

Maybe, as I work there
, pretty much every other member has asked for these two items and until today (it's showing up as being delivered soon) most of us just guessed that they were discontinued due to import cost.
So you shop in the Thurrock store? Anyone else here shop in that store?

Hi
I've been told by Thurrock that the Otis cookie dough won't be back in store. Is this correct? I love the cookies

You don't have to own a business, you can become a member if you work or have worked in certain professions.I USED TO BE INDECISIVE BUT NOW I'M NOT SO SURE!

Ah, sorry. Didn't realise you worked in the Thurrock store. I was in Edmonton. Thurrock isn't too far away from me either, but I only ride a motorbike so I can't ferry much back on the bike anyway. Once I can get a lift, I'd like to go to the Thurrock store. Then I can really go mad with the spending!

I can wholeheartedly recommend the southern style chicken breasts in the freezer section. They are DELICIOUS! Juicy not like some dry chicken in breadcrumbs. DH and I call it 'Chicken ding' and get through boxes of the stuff. Its not too calorific either (About 230 per breast) so is good for weightwatching. They are about £9 for 10.
