Great ‘What to Buy at Costco & Makro’ Hunt

barmonkey

just picked up a JML halagon oven in makro. its £59.99 + P&P on line or on TV, £59.99 in asda, but in Makro its £39.99 + VAT (£46 ish).
its a brilliant peice of kit, well worth the 30 mile round trip to get it.

Have costco stopped doing the voucher offers? Have not been given voucher books or seen any offers on in store the past three times i've visited, since easter sort of time? MK store.

I buy the Kirkland washing powder as it comes in a convenient plastic tub and lasts me about a year as it is American you only need half the regular amount and it isn't strongly perfumed like Persil and Ariel. I also purchase Kirkland dried cat food which works out at about £9 for several months. I used to buy their Whiskas cat food which was also cheaper.

Their milk is a few pence cheaper and their tyres are good value.

Their meat and poultry is excellent and their butcher will split in half the steaks and pork loins if you ask them as they are usually really thick.

Their ink cartridges can also work out cheaper depending on brand. Their bagels are really good as well.

Costco in Bristol had food-only vouchers through most of April and mid-May. I do remember noting that the booklet only had certain warehouses listed on the front though, so maybe it was a regional thing.

Anyone had any vouchers through for the Costco offers or been recently. Dont want to make a wasted trip and indulge in those yummy scones I really dont need.

I had a book of vouchers not long ago, but they were only valid for certain stores, not nationwide. (Our nearest store is the Oldham one).
Had my membership renewal form today, with an invitation to pay an extra £25 to get the new black 'executive' card. I think I will stick with my normal one.

So what does the black card give one for the £25 ?

2% annual cashback on the purchase price, exc VAT, of most Costco purchases. Capped at £300 in any 12 month period. There's a lot of small print.
It only applies to the primary cardholder's purchases. Main exclusions seem to be on tobacco and postage stamps, plus 'other items at the discretion of Costco'.
Don't think it would be worthwhile for me, and can't be bovvered to read any more as the print is tiny (and on a bright yellow leaflet which makes it very hard to decipher :rolleyes:).
