Don't forget to visit the cafe and have a bargain jacket spud for £1.25 with up to 2 toppings, or hotdog and fizzy drink for £1.50 etc.

We've had a card for a few years now. I think the quality of the food is really high and I love to cook so it's perfect for me.
We buy quite a bit including -
rolls of binbags, much stronger and cheaper than the supermarket ones.
rubber gloves - again really strong and the only ones big enough to fit my partners hands.
pesto - this is delicious, like homemade fresh pesto
tubs of olives
individual goats cheeses pack
big packs of pasta
sacks of rice
sacks of Yorkshire Tea teabags
slab of tinned tomatoes.
the big tubs of nuts, far tastier than anything you can get in a supermarket
case of wine
port
the champagne is a very good price.
Also worth remembering that the guarantees are much better than what you could get on the high street
The veg isn't really that cheap but is really good quality. For BBQ in the summer, try the giant asparagus spears, brush them with olive oil. Plus the corn on the cob is far nicer than anything I've ever eaten from anywhere else.

Not sure if anyone can help, so i will give it a shot. My partner went into costco at the start of the yr but his membership had expired, they gave him the option of renewing at the tills but didn't bother, as we wouldn't get much use of it this yr. Just wondering as i still have my card would i be able to automatically renew or do i have to submit all my info again? My card was a family card attached to the main card which my partner had.

You can usually renew at the tills,but the last time we went our card had expired three months before so we had to go to customer services.

We just paid the membership fee & kept the same card.

* Pretty sure they do'nt accept coupons (other than their own) in the U.K,you can always give them a call & ask.
