Great ‘What to Buy at Costco & Makro’ Hunt

sawan82

Same at the Croydon store, but I just like to know so I can plan. If I start browsing when there I end up spending a lot more money!

Bought the HP photo printer with the current set of vouchers (expiring tomorrow). I was fairly impressed by the quality of print tho it is my first personal photo printer TBH.

I would recommend it to anyone who is considering it. Save £50 with the voucher, and it has only just been released in the UK (on the HP UK website after it came on sale at Costco!). Also, cartridges aren't too expensive. About £8 for a single standard size colour.

Are you blaming individual postal workers or their management? There is a big difference between the two IMHO.

Management generally(like everything else in not-working-Britain), but also our personal delivery man, who has for the last three years delivered when he feels like it, we complained once and we didn't get any post for nearly two weeks, we complained again and he threatened us with 'You'll never get any of your post ever again' - so we stopped as we run a business from home and just can't afford to not get our mail.(We are not the only ones to complain about him, but he is still working there, so obviously he is not going to get the sack whatever anyone says to them).
He regularly 'saves it up' and then gives it to us in just one go once a week and despite 14 phone calls now about Sat. deliveries he REFUSES to deliver to us on a Sat still, so we don't get a delivery then.

I'm 100 yards up a track, so I have sportingly put a mail box at the point where it leaves the concrete road.
Funny thing I almost never get a parcel or recorded delivery, I just get a sorry you were out card, or a fake signature for the letter.

Yesterday, I got a delivery from a private contractor with a big parcel - bit of a shame that the person who goes "what is you name and post code" in the call centre had given me teh neighbours name but clicked on my address !

I received the voucher booklet today - there is a voucher for buy 2 mega boxes of huggies nappies save £14 -voucher doesnt say how much it is per box though - was wondering if anyone knows? Cheers! also loving the £3.34 for 2 chickens offer - they are lovely and feed 3 of us for 2 nights each!

Huggies usually around £22 a box in Costco, I worked it out using voucher its not really much of a saving when you take into account other places 3 for 2's, money off deals etc so I never usually use that voucher.

Been into Costco Haydock today - bought a few things out of the voucher booklet - but best buy was 2 largish chickens - work out £3.34 with the voucher of 50% off!! Also £3 off stewing steak packs.

Does anyone know the name of the fireplace/fire suite they have on offer in there at the moment?? Its like a dark victorian electric one - is about £402 incl vat. Just trying to compare prices online - so if anyone goes - could they have a look at the name of it for me please?:D

Hi there, for the person asking, the Huggies nappies were £24.99 for a box of 210 (size 3) or something like 183 size 4 etc at £24.99 too. I agree, you are probably better off getting nappies from sainsbury's where they have 1/3 off, and using MOCs as well. I sometimes pay £1.xx for 32 after MOC discount instore.

Got the Kirkland Ugg boots. Very happy. Got size 5 even though i am a 6.5-7! So even happier to have small feet. I bought fake uggs from M&S last year in a size 7!

Thanks for heads up on chickens, do you know when the voucher valid til? Not sure when I can get there next!
