Great ‘What to Buy at Costco & Makro’ Hunt

We have been members for years and have never been invited to a renewal event. Sounds great. Do other branches do this?

I love Costco!!! I was a member when I lived in Canada and I joined the one in Sheffield when it opened in 2006 (its set out just like the Canadian one!!) .Last month I got an invite for a renewal event and went today. There was a buffet full of lovely Costco food (sandwiches, sausage rolls, salads, dips, tortilla chips, lots of different cakes etc) When I renewed I got a free bottle of Kulama wine and a box of Lindt chocolates!! Beats the free shopping bag I got last year!!
All the staff are friendly and I love going there!

I second what others have said about the Pancake mix, its really good. I also like the Cinnamon crumble cake mix by Krusteaz, VERY GOOD!
I love the Trident Salmon burgers that you can find in the freezer section (currently £7.99 for 12 ) and even my very picky 3 year old likes them! (thanks to Costco and their samples!!)

We were there in Sheffield too, could have said hello if i had known
what you looked like

Does anyone know how much the thomas the tank kids sofa-beds are? (if they still have them?) they are like this but different design http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/0987109/c_1/1|category_root|Home+and+furniture|14417894/c_2/3|15701155|Children%27s+furniture|14418110/c_3/4|cat_14418110|Children%27s+furniture|14418111.htm

Shame I only discovered this forum last night! We were there at 5:30ish with our 3 year old daughter. You weren't by any chance the lady who was very keen to get into the cherry pie?

Lol, we got there at 5.45 though, I didn't even see the cherry pie,
when the pizzas were brought in, it was like vultures desended on
them!- we had our daughter with us too

Cinnamon crumble cake mix - OMG I've never seen this in Glasgow. I'd buy in bulk if they had it - every time we are in the US or Canada I find another cinnamon cake recipe as I love the stuff and the smell in my kitchen when I'm baking it. I feel a call to Glasgow coming on!
I certainly didn't see any last Friday when I was there - I did buy Ghirardelli brownie mix though yum, yum (oh and the small matter of a Dyson DC25 which was £238 inc vat against £280 in Tesco - quite a bargain!)

I've got that cake mix written down for next time I go to Edinburgh....

LOL, I saw the pizza coming but I wasn't quick enough!

I hope you guys find the cake mix in the Scottish branches, it really is delicious!

One of my other favorites is the Skippy Peanut Butter. YUMMY!!

hmmm so do we think the crumble cake isn't sold in the UK ?
