  • As everyone states. Loo rolls. Triple velvet - 40 rolls for £10.42 (last week)
    Tea bags - Yorkshire Tea 480s 2 cups - £5.89
    I regularly buy baking ingredients there in bulk, Icing & Caster sugar in 4/5kg bags for around £4/5.
    90/100 washes of soap powder & conditioner are really good value, can usually get both for £15 depending on your preferred brand.Vanish Oxi Action/Crystal was £5.62 for 1.5kg last week
    Own brand water - 35 500ml bottles for £4?
    Fizzy pop - Pepsi cans usually around £5 for 24 330ml, 2L bottles around £6 for 8 bottles.

    Take a smartphone with you and check prices before you buy. Spirits and liqueurs are rarely better value in Costco than in supermarkets. I've been a member for 5 years and have bought 1 bottle of whiskey in that time. ;)

    Peanuts aren't cheaper either, and ditto crisps (what with the offers in supermarkets).

    Costco is a lot cheaper for:

    toilet rolls
    foil and cling film
    free range eggs
    coffee

    Im amazed I always stock up on whiskey as its £5-10 a bottle cheaper than Tescos all the time

    I buy whiskey, wine, meats, chicken breasts, salmon fillets, danish pastries, the hot cooked ribs, and then household stuff like kitchen rolls, loo rolls, washing powder, cling film, etc- save a bomb as its lasts and lasts

    You cant go wrong with the meat- cut it into useable portions- there is no waste as its such good quality

    They are often cheaper for things like Dyson as well- they are selling the new handheld one for £30 less than anywhere else at the minute and the older version is on special offer and is a lot less than at other retailers

    Some of the own brand stuff like the extra virgin olive oil and honey is brilliant- good value for money and great quality


    I buy the cans of coke etc when they have special offers and store it away in the garage
