Great ‘What to Buy at Costco & Makro’ Hunt

Raksha

Don't forget the Gammon joints in Costco - make wonderful hams for Christmas if boiled then glazed and finished in the oven.

I asked instore this week and they said that the next voucher booklet would be after Christmas. Someone asked the same question on a thread yesterday and immediately after Christmas was mentioned - something like Dec 26th. HTH.

I emailed Costco today and posted on the thread as mentioned above and got this:

"The next booklet will be a handout only in the warehouses from December the
27th."

Thats the day after Boxing Day.

Thanks,well we went as planned...got enough loo roll/soap liquid/bottled water etc etc to last months;)
However the PSP was not any cheaper than in "normal" shops,£139...no game,just the console(can get a better deal elsewhere)
Nintendo DSi were a good price at £119 tho.Oh and guitar hero for the wii(game only)was £17.99-pity im looking for game and guitar.

For consoles and games the best thing is to look on the net and then check the prices against Costco... They always have them around the same price apart from one! If you are lucky the one that is cheaper is the one you are looking for..:-))

Last year I got the DSI blue for £82. Later someone else had it for similar price, but Costco at the time was the cheapest.

The costco gammon joints are really lovely, we chop them up into about 5 smaller joints, lol!

They have some lovely toys in at the moment, wow toys sets for toddlers, my children used to love this range but barely had any of it as it was hard to find and quite pricey, it's a shame I have no children young enough to appreciate it, lol!

Oh yes, I forgot - Costco Nativity Sets, They are 'resin', so a very hard dense plastic, but look like matt china. I got mine several years ago, and they seem to bring out a different design every year - this year's is smaller - fewer figures, but they are very traditional and lovely to look at.
This is last years - http://www.costcoconnection.ca/connectioncaeng/20081112/?pg=110 This years looks very similar - http://reviews.costco.com/2070/11489610/reviews.htm

Also, last year they had a set of three angels.

That's lovely Raksha, and would make a nice gift for my Goddaughter. Can you by any chance remember how much it is this year?

Took a trip to Costco Watford yesterday and here's a few bits I picked up-

Domestos 5L £3.45 + VAT (This is £1.15 for 750ml in Sainsburys)
Walkers Glenfiddich mince pies (really boozy and rich, my favourite mince pie) £4.95 for 2 x boxes of 6
Catsan Cat Litter 20L £6.79 + VAT (This is £5.39 for 10L in Sainsburys)
Xmas Fruit Cake £8.99 - not cheap but so, so gorgeous. I read about this on another thread somewhere and so glad I tried it. Its freezable too
Bagels 2 x pack of 6 (pick and mix different varieties) £2.99 found cheese and jalepeno which are yummy!

Really pleased with the stuff I got. Disappointed with the chicken breasts, they looked a bit greyish and although big not as nice looking as the ones from the supermarket. Wanted a giant kitchen roll but could only find regular sized ones and not that cheap. Not much choice in the spirits aisle either which was a shame.
