    I've used them a few times.

    I've had good stuff from them and awful stuff from them. I've stopped using them so often now, because I found I tended to stockpile their cheap stuff, and then not use it all, and ended up throwing it away, so it negated the savings of buying in bulk. But some things I have had from there have been fab - olive oil, coconut milk powder, fajita/enchilada kits etc to name a few.

    If you are more disciplined than me, and use up all the stuff you buy, then there are certainly bargains to be had. But try to avoid the temptation to buy more than you can possibly use!

    I've only used them once. I bought things like various spices, fajita kits etc. Haven't used them again because most of their stuff seems to be "junk" food - I don't buy crisps and sweets and things like that.

    If you can find enough things that you'll use, within a reasonable time, then I think they are worth using.
