    Skippy peanut butter in Costco is a fraction of the price of waitrose, which is the only place other than USA you can find it. Their giant chocolate Gateaux is incredibly yummy!! Particularly if you microwave a slice for 30 secs and serve with cream!!! MMM. The Americans started Costco and the bargains there are amazing although they don't have the selection of clothes and shoes you find over here. Loo paper and certain toiletries are often cheaper in Tesco when they are on special. Neutrogena Rainbath in a litre size is no longer available here, only in America :-(. Bluewater, Lakeside and Costco, now that's a day out!! :)

    From Costco the Muffins are huge and delish also the Danishes are a must. The fresh meat is very good quality, but I am not sure it is that cheap. Anybody that has a current membership could you find out how much the Tefal Actifry is as we have let our membership lapse and they won't tell us how much they are to work out if it is worth re joining - We let it lapse to save our waistlines from the Danishes!
    Ha! You made me laugh, people do say would of don't they. GGGGrrr at them :)

    I haven't tried lending anyone my card. They do check the id, but I haven't noticed them looking particularly closely. The picture is not that clear, so someone might get away with it if they paid cash. You can take in a non-member friend, but they can't pay by debit card. I usually pay and settle up later.
    I have got in with an out of date card but obviously could use it to buy stuff from the main shop as the scan it before they scan ur shopping but I did use it to find out prices and then got my MIL to pick up stuff for me and I could still get lunch from the 'restaurant'
    My OH his dad and uncle all look the same and got away with sharing a card for ages, just had to make sure they paid cash :D
    The very best is sometimes what nature gives us for free.

    Hi. Does anybody know if they have any satnavs in costco. I'm considering joining but thought I would wait until I needed something specific that was worth the joining fee. Thanks

    Also, can anyone tell me what proof you need to show that you own a business.

    Yes. They have three different units at the moment. They had a Garmin, a Tom Tom and one other make I can't remember (which is ironic as that's the one which seemed the best value!).
