Easter eggs at Costco? I hope you are joking-this is Costco we are talking about! Easter eggs were last November, they are currently well into Summer BBQs, garden furniture and back to school stuff (for new school year in Sept)!

No I went in there today and there were definately easter eggs there! Only big ones though, and they were doing an offer on them I think. Didnt have that many to choose from, but still a selection. Today we got the skippy peanut butter again of course, and we also love the English Provender Co Sweet Chilli & Tomato chutney! It comes in a really tall jar, lasts for ages and is fantastic! As well as that we got a pack of 2 big bottles of Blue Dragon Sweet Chilli dipping sauce. My mum got some pink crocs too.

Can't believe it hasn't been mentioned yet... anything to do with car cleaning! Good examples are Wonderwheels which is around £5 for 1litre in Tesco, but £7 for 5 litres in Costco, also the same applies for soaps etc.

Costco own brand (Kirkland) baby wipes are better in my opinion than pampers/huggies, and much cheaper too! - highly recommended.

Fabulous lunch bags in at the moment, complete with cold thingy that you stick in the freezer and a drinking flask thingy. Plenty of room in and well made, more for adults than kids. Priced at £7.03 inc VAT, great for work if your fridge gets packed with people bring their own lunch.

Also bought a Trespass Ladies jacket, wind proof, water proof, taped seams, very cosy, great for walking the dog. Lots of colours, I got Red, for the grand sum of £11.73 inc VAT.

Hi

I love thier furniture. Good quality, and good value. I would advise that if you see an item you really like but find it too expensive, keep visiting over the next few days, they seem to change prices quite often. In the last week I saved over £200 on a kingsize bed. Also this evening I went in, I had been looking to buy my daughter a lovely cream girls bed, it was originally £299 plus VAT. My husband had been checking everyday this week for me since thay had moved it to the side of the warehouse. This evening it had dropped to £199 plus VAT, saving £100 bargain. They have also dropped the price of the matching dressing table to £99 plus VAT. I am now holding out for the bedside tables currently prices at £100!!!! fingers crossed.

Costco UK is good, but go to Costco in the US and you will be amazed at how much cheaper it is out there. If you visit the country be sure to take your Costco card with you.

I visit several times a year and always stock up on over the counter drugs and vitamins. 1000 Paracetamol (US call it acetaminophen) for around $5. 500 Ibuprofen for around the same price. In the UK you can only buy small quantities of the same drugs. In Costco UK you can buy packs of both (much lower quantity e.g. 8 packs of 16) but only if you are trade member. I have knee problems and use quite a bit of a prescription-only anti-inflamatory drug Naproxen. In the US it is available over the counter at $10 for 400 in Costco.

They also take Credit Cards (at least my Amex) in the US Costco sites.

Costco opticians are excellent, designer frames at a fraction of the price.

Correct. Amex only.
