    Yet oddly enough it wasn't nearly as annoying as the huge graphic you saw necessary to post!

    I am visiting Costco tomorrow with a view to joining does anyone know if you can pay with a credit card?

    No credit cards. cheques, cash or debit cards only.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)

    especially when MSE kindly provide this lovely little smiley :spam:


    Does anyone have a more detailed description of the blue pack of pancake mix or what products it's near?
    I've been trying out pancake recipes for years and never found one that is suitably fluffy plus it might give me an excuse to buy a funky waffle iron :D

    I've been looking forward to trying out this pancake mix ever since it was mentioned on here. Had a craving for waffles too, but no idea where to buy a waffle iron at a decent price.

    The pancake mix brand is 'Krusteaz' and says 'buttermilk complete pancake mix' on the bag and 'resealable pack'. It was the only pancake mix there when I bought it. To be honest, I'm not that keen on it though, which is rather a shame as the bag makes 240 pancakes!

    I am thinking about buying the wine for my wedding from Costo.

    Can anyone give me a price per case of any well known wine (Gallo, Blossom Hill etc)?

    Probably still worth going to France (Calais) if you have a car and are within reach of the Channel ports. Pre-order for extra discount.
    Check the prices in sterling & Euros before deciding how to pay.

    Thanks guys, I bought some of the pancake mix to try :D the bag is surprisingly heavy, I almost fell over when I took it off the shelf lol! I shan't be having maple syrup though *shudders at the thought* a nice splodge of honey or nutella will grace mine :drool:

    Sheenangel - there is a wine in the current voucher book - Pinot Grigio Fiore Rosa 6x75cl £4 off, £19.95 + VAT after discount, max purchase 120 if that helps at all :undecided

    I also saw they had an iMac not sure what model but it was £776+VAT, sure someone asked about them.

    They were giving samples of chicken and bacon sandwich filler which was yum and they've started doing Chinese drumsticks on the rotisserie which were quite nice

    Thanks Samibee.

    We are going to Kent later this month but we would have to go to France the next day so with the cost of a hotel we wouldnt save any money. Therefore, we are looking at the cheapest option here.

    The est we have seen so far is the supermarket 3 for £10 deals. There is also a website called cheapbrandwines.com but I'm not sure if I trust it.

    Costco may be the best option it seems.
