Costco Question

Costco finally open in Southampton tomorrow!!

:j

I am interested in several offers from the offer booklet......but I dont have a physical booklet, just the link on the pc (Costco sent a link to it via email).

Will the money just come off at the checkout?

Or do I need to show a booklet/coupon in order to get the savings?

If so - can you do it via a mobile phone?

Never been to Costco before, so any advice about not to miss the "bargains" would be much appreciated, thank you. :D

    Hi, the special offers come off at the till automatically and as you go in there is usually a trolley full of those vouchers books! Happy Shopping.

    This site is very helpful https://www.addictedtocostco.com

    Costco warehouses are usually very big so be prepared lol, take your time and have a good look round. Perhaps jot down some prices of your staple buys so you can compare. The cafe is very good so consider trying it out and also check the opening time for your type ofmembership card, Trade members get in earlier x

    Thanks mum26 - great minds think alike beause I did my sums before I went and also took a caculator!!

    I have a price per wash, per tin of diet coke, per toilet roll etc that I aim for, I wanted to make sure I didnt get swayed by the large sizes and free samples!

    ;)

    Unfortunately my discounts for instore offers didnt come off the bill, phoned and they said the checkout op should have scanned a master voucher for that to happen....

    REALLY glad I had asked on MSE and knew they should have been deducted.


    But it was only the 2nd day they were opened.....so I am not going to whinge too much.

    And it gives me a chance to go back tomorrow for my refund.

    And possibly a bit more shopping :D

    Have to say I LOVED Costco!!

    And the food hall!!

    A waffle cone stuffed with gelato for £1.25.......whats not to love????

    :rotfl:
