    Does anyone know please if Costco sell the 32GB iTouch (as opposed to the 8GB or 64GB version) and if so at what price?
    Saw an aisle full of them on my last visit to Chingford, but didn't note the prices.
    32G is £192.99 +VAT (£226.76 inc VAT)
    they had it in a display case but I didn't see any boxes/dummy boxes so not sure if there were any in stock
    The very best is sometimes what nature gives us for free.

    Have been perusing the latest voucher booklet and tried to compare Costco prices with high street shops but having difficulty.
    eg. the Snuggledown goose down pillows - no one else sells the ones they are selling. I have a feeling this is old stock as all the other Snuggledown pillows are in the "Wash and Dry me" range.

    Also tried to see what the 5 litre Fairy non-bio Laundry liquid sells for but this is not sold by many outlets.

    Sneekily Costco did not show the prices for all the items.

    Would like to tell Costco that some of us lack storage space and/or are single people hence cannot buy everything in bulk.

    But the point of Costco is it's a bulk buying warehouse mainly for trade (like Makro) but they also allow other professions to join.

    They don't advertise "small"

    (And what a shame they only sell Cadbury's Fingers in 6 packs!!...... there goes the diet... again!!)

    highly recommend their wing and rib spicy sauce!! Its delish and only 3.99 for a huge bottle! was on the taster tables yesterday
  • Got a great deal today on a Kenwood Hand Mixer in Watford - it's the same exact model and colour as http://www.amazon.co.uk/Kenwood-HM792-Metal-Mixer-Almond/dp/tech-data/B000VWX2DO/ref=de_a_smtd and it was only £35.24 inc (it's £60.99 on that Amazon link). It's really lovely and sturdy, can't wait to do some baking! It also came in black.

    Some searching lead me to find the cheapest price at Dixons for £40 - so still cheaper at Costco, plus I didn't end up at Dixons ;)

    So overall, I'm chuffed!
    Comper and general cheapskate :)

    We are thinking of buying the above bed from Costco, but it's rather a risk, as they don't stock one for you to try, and this model is exclusive to them. I know their returns policy is second to none, but would be interested to hear from anyone who has bought one of these beds. We don't want a firm bed.
