Does anyone shop at Costco

Can anybody give me an idea of prices these days. I used to be a member but have not been for 3 years eg how much for washing powder?

I thought it was trade membership only? How can you become a member without owning a shop or something?

I know the obvious answer would be lie, but i take it they request soem sort of proof to prove you are a trader?

I am a member through a work colleague.
His Indian cricket team based around Luton have a group membership and needed a couple more to make up the numbers.Funny thing is I have never been queried about my membership at Costco even though I am not exactly the right colour for an Indian,as the pic on my card idicates. :-)

I think Costco are very good in general but can't really understand why a membership fee is necessary.

What if other lower priced retailers suddenly decide to follow suite? We'd then be paying the likes of Amazon, Argos, John Lewis and play.com for the privelige of shopping with them.

Many of Costco's prices are no better then many other retailers and by charging a membership fee they should at least allow us the luxury of using credit cards.

Hi, its not just for trade; there is an individual membership option too!

You have to work in certain industries to get membership; I work in banking and DH is a teacher.

Costco are great for catfood, which is mainly what we use them for. Their pork is currently cheaper than Sainsburys but their lamb and beef is more expensive, so watch out.
