    I've never seen quiche there but I guess it would be with the party food - the sandwich platters, salads & huge pizza's - at a guess

    Theyusually have fresh quiche in the Glasgow Costco but I think it tends to be more of a summer thing, didn't notice any when I was last in - going back on Friday so I'll have a look

    Last couple of times I was in it close to closing time and we just ran around and out. I will try and get up in the morning next time and have a look. ty

    Lots of the £xx.97 bargains are already starting to creep in at Costco. I just bought a few interesting things including:

    Rechargeable LED strip light for £9.97 ex VAT.

    3 piece pack of Gorilla wrecking bars (36", 24" and 14") for £4.97 ex VAT, which retails close to £20 elsewhere.

    Denby White Squares 16-piece, 4-place set (containing 4 x dinner plate, side plate, bowl & mug) for £39.97 + VAT. Cheapest I have seen elsewhere is £73.50 on Amazon but some places are selling the same set for up to £150.

    By the w/c Dec 20th there will be lots of stuff to buy at the magic .97 price.

    What is the magic £xx.97 price? Does it mean things have been greatly reduced?

    Yes. Sometimes very greatly reduced, other times just a few pounds. It is used for end-of-line items which are being discounted to get rid of them and make way for other stock. The last few days before Christmas are a great time to pick up all the gift packs & toys at £xx.97 prices.
