Whats Costco like?

lisle

their meat is very good quality; carrot cake is delicious; the catering packs of bacon for just under £5.00 are excellent value;

i have seen my daughter with huge apple pies and the choc chic muffins looked very big too, they always seem to have big pack of toilet rolls and their fruit seems good too

All of the bakery stuff is gorgeous and reasonably priced. Get yourself a big birthday cake for £10 and it'll feed you every day for a week .

Last week I got a 500g tub of Mixed Italian Herbs for about £1.50 which I thought was a bargain. I use them in nearly everything!

Yes, Costco don't take credit cards unfortunately

Oh, just remembered - Costco had a 5 litre bottle of malt vinegar for under £2.00! :j Almost bought it but was laden down with towels and paper cups but will go back this week to get it for laundry.

Yeah, even Costco in the US is like this. They only take the Costco Executive Club American Express card.

The trays of chicken breasts are very good, price varies depending on weight, so about £10 - £13. I freeze these individually as there are only 2 of us at home now. The smoked Haddock is also good.

I buy a large box of surf for about £9 - £10 and it lasts me 3 months! If there are herbs or spices that you use a lot then it would be worth buying a tub. Bicarb of soda is sold in large tub but I can't remember the price, sorry!

The large birthday cakes are wonderful value, only £10! - don't have to be for birthdays if you can get an order put in they will ice them with any greeting eg retirement, anniversary. After the occasion we freeze blocks of cake and they still taste yummy on defrosting.

Tresame shampoo and conditioner cost £5 for a huge container of each (1 gal?) Will last for ages!

But the danish pastries are to die for! and freeze really well.

Will try to think of any more!

We generally get the danish pastries and freeze them into individual bags then we can use one a day for the kids lunch boxes.

You really need to go and see what's available.

We always end up buying the danishes, and the huge choc fudge cake. yummmmmmmmm!!! They also have some good toys for the kids, but it changes on a regular basis. Thier fresh pizzas are nice too. I might go up actually because i need a cake for my sons christening.
