thanks to mr tigerfeet
He said 'no problem, call me Mr TF the spreadsheet geek'
costco do have a website but theres nowt on it :rotfl:
i just get a booklet every so often with the offers , it would be great if they listed all their stuff , because its such a big place you cant possibly check alll the prices
It is pretty basic isn't it :rotfl:Though the American one has a full blown website, shame ours doesn't have one that can be accessed from a members only area.
We walked in and signed up in a little area and then went in the main door and it was like Woah!! where do we start? We were in there 4 hours and didn't see everything.BSCno.87The only stupid question is an unasked oneLoving life as a Kernow Hippy0 -
Cheating slightly as spent £8.10 at Morrisons yesterday (bread, clementines, bananas, pineapple, chicken and 2 x body spray), but am going to count it as February spends as most of it won't be used until later this week.
So, i'm declaring £48.82 for January. If the lists are being done yet, please can you put me down for £55.00 for February.
I really need to make an effort using my freezer contents as every drawer is crammed full

Total spend so far this year is £303.33 - slightly above target, not worried though
I have nappies for at least a month (possibly 2) and enough main meal makings for the same Also LOADS of cereal, dishwasher tabs and washing powder... oops! Still.... wonder if I can keep Feb spends below £100...??? :eek: Part time GCer, NSDer, Comper and (Bad)Flylady
A big shot is just a little shot that kept shooting ...0
