    Well I went to costco yesterday and spent close to £200 - not done that for a while though :A
    The huggies super dry are giga boxes (contain 3 of the biggger plastic wrapped type packs you get in the supermarket) normal price is £22.99, offer is B2G £14 off
    I bought a giga box on offer a few weeks ago in tesco for £17.99 (156 sz4+ nappies)
    so how does that compare?
    Tesco 156 nappies, £17.99 = 11.532p per nappy
    Costco 312nappies, £31.98 = 10.250 per nappy :D
    Asda long running 2 for £18 offer, 150 nappies, £18 =12p per nappy
    The very best is sometimes what nature gives us for free.

    Does anyone know if Costco sells Bosch or Miele washing machines? Thinking of joining if they do? Thanks

    Ring up your local branch and ask (they don't question whether you are a member) although I don't think I have seen either make.

    On Our costco 'shop' list are;

    Frozen chicken breasts- divide up into 4 bags
    white cheese
    double cream
    6x4 pints milk- cheaper!
    2kg frozen peas
    the 20ltl veg oil
    costco own laundry powder the one in the tub- lasts ages
    toffee drizzle cake-yummy
    12 scones with cherries- also yummy!

    We go through three 6pint cartons of milk a week, and have worked out that the savings on this & yoghurt alone cover our membership cost. :)

    Remind me how much is the 6 pint milk. Would it also save us the 30 mile round trip on the motorway as our membership has lapsed.

    Milk is £1.45 for 6 pints :) Activia yoghurts are often cheap, were £1.29 for 8 for a while.

    Yes FF is cheap, but we use so much that in 4pt cartons it fills the whole fridge :) Is easier for us with less 6 pt ones.
