Local pharmacist will order them for me if I pay in advance. The last lot was £5, 1.5 kilos and in a very useful plastic container.

Hi misspenny,

There's an earlier thread on Costco that should help so I've added your post to it to keep the replies together.

This thread may interest you: Buying in bulk....is it really worth it?

These threads from the Shop but Don't Drop board may be useful too:

Have to agree with most of what everyone else has said - the danishes, chicken, casserole steak and mince are all lovely. What you get there tends to be good quality, not necessarily cheap so if you just want cheapie bargains and don't mind the quality too much you are better off with supermarket cheap brands, eg orange juice, as I think the juice they sell at Costco is Princes, so although it is cheap for Princes juice it would be cheaper to buy tesco value. Sliced cold meats and large cartons of cream are great for Christmas and huge bags of Walkers crisps are very cheap. Don't bother going for alcohol though as supermarkets are cheaper. What we like about Costco is that you can go and have dinner afterwards. Last time we went we had a cup of tea for 60p and a huge slice of pizza for 1.20!
