Kirkland Institutional Laundry Detergent in a white oblong plastic bucket with blue lid. They claim over 400 washes! I only know that it lasts a long, long time:D I find it very good but always add washing soda as they recommend it on OS for removing grease and keeping your machine scale free. HTH

We have bought this ever since joining above a year ago, must get
more than 400 washes as washing machine is on at least 2 if not more times a day- its good stuff

Does anyone know if costco do the boxes of big green triangle chocolates - the supersized ones from quality street?

I went yesterday and didn't notice any. I was quite suprised how few biscuits and chocolates there were actually, but thought everything else was great.

I went to Reading Costco yesterday and found 3 little bargains all 97p each, so must be clearing them out, like they did with the Starbucks coffee.

Twin Pack of sweet freedom natural sweetener
(not many left, about half a pallet)

Schwartz Mixed Spice (loads left)

Schwartz Bacon Bits (none left, only saw the SEL for it )

The Kirkland boots have now been moved to near the tills. Loads of them scattered around outside of their boxes (lazy people who can't spend 2 seconds replacing them in their boxes) They had the new juniour version with the button, too.

Oh, the Scotch steak mince is £3 per pack so look for the cheaper packs and this works out better value as the discount is per pack, not per kilo.

Costco have changed their Michelin-only tyre policy and now sell Continental tyres at a lower price. Great news for those who want choice.

There are 12 rolls in a pack - sheet size is three times bigger than usual though! (I think they're about £15 inc.)

We probably buy one pack of rolls every 3 or so months and we are very heavy kitchen roll users.

Definitely worth the money. :beer:

(just edited from 16 to 12 as we went outside and checked!)

Despite being a customer of theirs for a few years, we've never used them for tyres. What are the prices like and do they also rotate/balance them when they replace them?
