Thank you Numenor, if they ever come back in store I will get some - wish i had got them the first time i spotted them now! Not seen them recently..

Not sure if it's near you, but I noticed them today in the Reading branch as I remembered reading about them on this website (didn't buy them though, but wish I had now!)

I got some in Reading last night! They had just unpacked the box and stocked the shelf so I will let you know when I try them!

Funny you should mention Waitrose - a lot of the products at Costco are on sale in Waitrose for a lot more.
Their returns policy is awesome too.
At Christmas the Charlie Bingham nibbles were in Waitrose, and so is the Bundeberg Ginger beer.

I love the Bundeburg Ginger Beer. We also get the Newman's Own grape juice in the huge bottles. Never lasts long though.

The duck gyōza? Yeah, I liked them. Slight pain to cook if you actually follow the instructions though, as they say you should steam them for a minute after frying. Definitely worth a try though, and you'll probably get away with not steaming them.

I tried these and they were nice but I wasn't keen on the cherry sauce/dip they came with - if I get them again might have to get a seperate dip for them.

I also got the ham and cheese filled pasta, that was so nice!!! Will definately be getting those again! Two minutes and it's ready to eat...

If you're after a different dip, keep an eye out for Lee Kum Kee sweet hoisin sauce. Comes in a squeezy bottle like mayonnaise.

Not sure where to get it though, apart from Oriental supermarkets such as Tai Sun.

Does anyone know if Costco is good for nappies, baby wipes etc.. someone in my family is expecting and was wondering if it is worth offering to get them some things from there if it works out as good value

The twin packs of sliced ham at £4.99 for 32 slices is also very good value and nice quality ham. Beats £3.50 odd for 12 slices at Tesco.

It is very good for nappies and wipes. We used to get boxes of huggies or pampers nappies, but one time they didn't have them in the size we needed, so we got Kirkland Nappies instead. They ar ethe best by a long way, and even cheaper. They fit alot better than the others and stay fastened better.

Baby wipes: we used to get Kirkland baby wipes, they were really good and cheap as well, but they changed the box to a ridiculously large size, but wipe for wipe the price went up. Johnsons wipes are very good value there, they also do huggies wipes at a good price, but we don't actually like them very much. They don't seem to wipe as well as some other wipes.

the weight of the twin packs of ham is 2x 420g. It is very good value. Last week I got i pack of each type of meat, brilliant for packed lunches.
