Great ‘What to Buy at Costco & Makro’ Hunt

mgirl_2

My favourite costco buys are
cans of soft drinks
bottles of lucozade sport
carrot cake - my teenage boys love it
tray of danish pastries - DH loves these
nutella
aerosol cream
kitchen roll if it's on offer
washing powder
coffee only if it's on offer

Got the carrot cake for the first time last week. OMG it was divine! Definitely best carrot cake I'd tasted in a loonngg time (and the icing was just yummy!)

I've just been through this pikelet/pancake discussion LOL and I found that what I want to make is neither, its girdle scones
Which is nothign whatever to do with costco LOL!

That would be "griddle scone" south of the border - I think I would call that a drop scone or drop pancake or Scotch pancake - Interleave your fingers and press thumb nail to thumb nail - its about that round and 1/4 inch thick?

• In Australia, New Zealand, and the English Midlands and parts of Wales and the north, a small, thick pancake, known in parts of Britain as a drop-scone or Scotch pancake. See Pancake. <<<<<<

Yes think that's it. But the surface is smooth and dark brown, not got the "bubbly" appearance that pancakes have. This all started after we went to a church fair where we got lovely ones with our tea !

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

I personally don't think so, I've been a member since before I had my 2 boys and I think the only things I've bought for them were very cute but not cheap clothes.
The branded nappies and wipes are 90% of the time cheaper in the supermarket. Can't comment on the own brand stuff though I'm afraid, my eldest only wore pampers and youngest huggies, I used huggies wipes for both.

If you join in on the pregnancy and then parenting threads you've find out the best deal as and when (plus get sucked into lots of chatting )


Pancakes went down well here at the weekend, Hubby ended up working so we had them the following day and my youngest enjoyed his first taste of honey on his as it was his 1st birthday I've ordered a traditional cast iron waffle iron now :cool:

Ps. pikelets are nothing like pancakes

Nothing exciting. Lots of wines and beers it seemed!
