    I only saw it for Wii and Xbox, I'm afraid. May be worth calling them to double check though.

    All the reduced games seem to be for Wii and Xbox :o Ah well. I might call or pop in at the weekend. Thanks for replying :)

    Costco is good for Nescafe Dolce Gusto pods. There are 2-packs of either Americano/Espresso or Cappuccino/Machiato. Works out about £2.75 a box.

    Yes def worth it. Fabulous place.:)
  • Yes, great place. As a male, I love it! No choice in brands, cheap price, loads of freebies in terms of samples and massive packs of everything.
    The prices are generally very good, although like with everything you have to watch what you buy to ensure you get a good deal, as opposed to throw everything in there as it's convenient.

    We get all our staples from there, and I feel that it's certainly made a big difference in terms of improving our food budget.
    Meat is amazing quality.

    I've NEVER found them to be cheaper than most of the local fitting centres.

    That's even when they have a 20% discount or "Buy 4 for the price of 3" offer running - without any offer they are usually not even close.

    Until very recently they only sold MICHELIN.


    Last two times when they have had the discounts we got tyres quite a bit cheaper, one set of 195/65/15 Michelin Energy and a set of 205/55/16 Alpin 3 winters.

    No one came close, you could nearly match with lesser brands and beat with no name junk but not by that much.

    Our store only sells Michelin, but nothing wrong with that as plenty people run Michelins.

    I priced up 18" Pilot sports in a not so common size and without any vouchers etc they were cheaper than many but not a great deal in it, with a 20% voucher though you would win hands down.
