Great ‘What to Buy at Costco & Makro’ Hunt

Clowance

Makro do have the odd bargain - potatoes in large sacks for one, and sometimes trays of eggs. There just seem to be more people interested in costco on this thread.

I think way back when we did ask for a thread split so the Costco people could have their thread and the Makro people could have their thread....
Can't remember why it didn't happen though...

Makro do have some good deals. Chicken is excellent price atm. Probably because membership of Costco is actually esier than Makro IMO.

I love Costo's we buy their packs of granulated sugar which works out about 60pish per bag and tea bags from there are something like £9. for a 1000 big packs of tuna fish for £4.99
as we are foster carers we only have to show our Certificate and one utility bill to join.

Went last night, dad needed Mach 3 blades. They're actually 23.86 inc VAT for 20 blades. HTH

Didn't notice anything else reduced as such.

Makro has been largely eradicated from this thread because it is a money saver's forum and that's the last thing they seem to offer.

As for Costco, you certainly don't need a business utility bill - you can use a bank statement instead. See - http://costco.co.uk/Membership_home/Trade_memship/trade_membership.htm

Thank you! I've read this before but for some reason I forgot I could just use bank statement. Problem is, I don't really want to open a business bank account so I will call on Monday to ask if I can use a normal statement with business address included. If anyone else is in a similar boat I will try to remember to post a follow-up msg with their response.

Our gym's closing so we thought we'd buy a treadmill or cross-trainer instead of finding a new gym.
Costco have the Nordic Track E12 in for £720, but from 13th June it's down to £600 (inc VAT)
It's normally £1300! There is another place selling for £799 but delivery charge is on top.
Not a bad price I thought

So that's the 3 Makro posts done for the next 20 pages then? LOL

How many tins of tuna is this? I think part of the reason that Costco is more popular than Makro is the membership availability. As I said Makro do have some good deals, in the makro mail, but also their chicken is £20 for 5 kg breast fillets, but personally I shop at both. I have no loyalty! I shop where is best value for money on whatever I am buying.
