    This is going to sound like a stupid answer....BUT,,,,

    Go into your local Cost-co store and buy one.

    Is this what you mean ? ??? ??? ???
  • do you mean cosco
    it is a wholesale warewhouse which means you have to apply for a trade card also you pay a fee for joining
    i'm not sure how much it is at present but when they opened up at newcastle they were charging about £15
    you have to fit in to certain criteria to get a card but like all wholesalers its usally easy to get around it
    good luck :)
  • Costco is a trade shop for which you have to buy a card, annually. You can buy food, ( in bulk, and freeze it!) get your eyes tested and get get designer specs cheaply - all sorts - well worth the £20 odd quid membership per annum!
    There's one behind the Trafford Centre!
  • A card costs around £ 23 - would offer you a share of mine BUT you have a photo on it!!!!!
    Sorry!

    There's also a Costco in Oldham if you're on that side of Manchester. You have been in or retired from certain occupations if you're not a business. If you look up their website - https://www.costco.com and go via their store locator to find your nearest store, it will give you their phone number. I'm sure they will give you any info you need.

    HTH

    If you have a friend/relative who is a member you may be able to 'piggy back' on them. What I mean is that you can visit Costco together with this friend/relative (there should be no more than 3 adults) or if you wish you can pay for an 'affiliate membership' which is about £15 per year. The advantage of the later is that you need not satisfy their other criteria relating to profession, employer etc. plus you will have your own membership card. The only requirement is that you use the same address as the original member on who you have piggy backed.
    Do you make things happen, watch things happen, or just wonder, what happened?
