Thanks Redbedhead, I'll look out for those next time I go. I joined and went for the first time last weekend and spent hours looking at everything they have - it's a huge place! I found quite a few items that were lots cheaper than in the supermarkets, but others that weren't, so you really need to check before you buy. I'm told the meat is really good, so may give that a try next time I go.

There appears to be a new booklet out this week which covers up to the end of March. There are a variety of discounts in this one including non food items (discounts if you are buying 4 Michelins, power washers etc) plus my fave deal which is £3 off the mince (we eat lots of their steak mince) and about £3 off their large packs of fresh chicken.

We find it can be more expensive for certain things, particularly if you would only normally buy them if they are on special - things like cans of fizzy drinks (we only get when on bogof) and jars of Dolmio (again only got when bogof).

I would say the main thing we get from there is meat. Their steak mince is great, their 100% steak burgers don't lose any size when cooked and have a lovely flavour. The chicken portions again don't lose water and have a better flavour than other places.

You really need a big freezer if you are shopping there though:rotfl:

Whilst some Costco items may be more expensive than the cheaper own brands in supermarkets, most if it is better quality - pasta is one example.

Hi

I am based just outside milton keynes and wondered if anybody was interested in earning some extra cash working from home, as and when they wanted.

Basically, we had our second child a year ago and my life left work which left us with a shortfall of £30k - as you can imagine we have found the going tough. We have managed to scrape through, mainly with me working extra hours, my wife doing bits and pieces, and tips/hints from this website. I have made and continue to make some nice money from matched betting (see the respective threads on this website) and my wife has recently become a work from home consultant for the bodyshop. She is averaging 2 parties a week (3 hours per party) and taking home on average £50 per party . The main thing is that she is getting out of the house away from me and the children and she is really enjoying 'doing her own thing' again.

Obviously, this is not a guaranteed income and you will only get out of it what you out in - as with most jobs.

If there is anybody out there that is either interested in holding a party themselves or becoming a consultant and being their own boss then please either let me know and we can refer you (my wife will earn 2% commission on all your sales, this will not affect your figures) or alternatively sign up off your own back via the bodyshop website.

Many thanks

Good Luck!

In Tesco Kingston today they had reduced most of the Dulux paint to half price, plenty left of all colours - kitchen, once, gloss and bathroom paint.

THe stuff was flying out of the door.

Middle floor behind the escalator - ladies stuff to the left, mens to the right.

More mens stuff left than ladies. I got loads of Pineapple tops for £3 and £5.

We went to Cineworld MK last night I was not impressed.

It had got very shabby, the chair in front of us was broken (the back was no longer fixed in place and went nearly horizontal!) they didn't have butter popcorn and the price for a drink was more expensive than the bar next door! Has anyone else found the same?

Has anyone gone to the Odeon?
