    I know what you mean about the smell in the big box! We don't keep the big box in the kitchen anyway, just decant it into something smaller and use it from there without having to sniff all of it!

    I haven't noticed that it fades colours, mine seem OK but maybe I'm not very observant!

    I had a look a few pages back, and couldn't see an answer - when did costco stop printing the prices in their voucher books? £50 off the TV sounds good but I don't know the prices any more...
    I wondered this too.OH went today and brought home a voucher book but he didnt notice how much the TV was(thought price was in booklet)...so dunno if its a bargain or not:rolleyes:

    I assume it's just for this one because of the VAT change happening during the validity of the vouchers.

    The prices haven't been in the last 3 booklets (since we've been members) which I find very frustrating.

    :confused::confused::confused::confused::confused:

    I'm currently looking at the booklet before last (2nd Nov - 22nd Nov) and the vast majority of the vouchers HAVE got prices on them.

    Only about 1 out of every 5 doesn't have the actual item price shown - several of which are perfectly understandable (eg 30% off Duracell batteries - it includes at least 7 different types in several different pack sizes - which means there would have been many price variants )
    There are 10 types of people in the world. ‹(•¿•)›

    How strange - I assumed they didn't publish prices as we've never seen them (so never been able to shop around)

    I thought they didn't publish prices as prices may vary in different stores....!

    I don't think they (costco) are keen on prices being in public domain- needed a tumble dryer, called them and they would not tell me what they had until they confirmed I had valid membership.

    I do find that prices can sometimes change when vouchers come out

    although lines - something like 5.99, goes to 6.99 if a £2 off voucher is released
    ( examples I noticed included DE coffee ans Walkers crisps)

    still I think membership is good value though
