    I can't believe people are getting so excited about pancake mix....all you need is flour, eggs, milk, and a pinch of salt. It's as simple as that, and it's cheaper than buying mix.

    They are more of a Pikelet than Pancake
    I used to be indecisive but now I am not sure.

    Thanks for all the info. We went in to have a look on Sunday and it worked out that it was cheaper to get the supermarket offers than to buy it from there.

    I went to Costco in Birmingham today to get a set of tyres for the OH's car as there was meant to be 20% off for a month, starting today.

    When I got to the tyre department, they were in a state of panic as it seemed that head office had given them the wrong date for the start of the sale.

    They still honoured the discount, so if anyone needs tyres, you can get them at 20% off now.
  • Have the opportunity to join and just wondered whether it was worth it for things like nappies, baby wipes etc - am pregnant with my 1st baby so if they have good offers on these, then would be good to join.

    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Congratulations Fairyloveheart.

    In terms of baby things, i've found Costco no cheaper than the supermarkets - particularly when they have their baby events on.

    Having said that, i only use Pampers nappies for my little man, so have no idea if Huggies work out any cheaper.

    I've been Money Tipped!
    Am very excited - Costco is opening in my next of the woods soon! :T
    Makro closed last year, so no decent options since then. My poor OH jumped out of his skin as I whooped when I saw the sign...thankfully he didn't quite hit the car he swerved towards at my whoop :o
    Who made hogs and dogs and frogs?
