    I think Costco is top. I always do a price comparison on the website when i get back, prices and weights etc and I save a fortune, plus we get access to products we just dont get over here.

  • Just bought a 40" Sony Bravia television, plus super black stand, plus Samsung BluRay DVD player for just over £800 including VAT. I am absolutely delighted with my bargains!
  • Costco well worth it. Like any other store check out prices. Shop once and you'll save your fee straight away.
  • I've just joined Costco and it's great! Saved me money on the groceries and I treated myself to a Tefal Quick Cup for £38! Though I'm having issues storing it cos it does come it bulk. Oh well, I'd rather have issues with storage than pay more.

    So then I don't mean to boast, but I can get a Costco card for less than £14 through my work (we must have a good negotiator!) so would you say in those circumstances its worth it?

    I'm deliberating, conjugating and digesting as to whether to go for it or not.

    Advice appreciated, thanks :-)
    Live better on less :beer:

    For £14 yes I would!

    I'm looking forward to going again, have run out of kitchen towel (I buy the costco own brand) and thirst pockets just isn't the same!

    i love costcos now i have figured out whats cheaper to get there and whats not, i love thier meat too its fantastic. i just make sure i only take xx amount of money with me so i dont over spend on what i dont need.

    if you are a memeber you can also sign up friends for just under £14.00 rather than keep taking them yourself

    great Value. I buy pancake mix - thier own brand and it lasts about a year! Dog chews are mega cheap, I could go on all day. It is not close, so I stop in mhen i am in the area. I fill up my boot, and then split it with friends - I get through the stuff quicker, dont need so much storage space, and they are grateful for the savings.
