Costco V. Makro

Hi,

I have both these within driving distance and I was wondering is it worth signing up to both or is one better than the other.

Items I would buy mostly are

Pampers
Baby wipes
Baby milk
washing powder
Bog roll.
Softner

Thanks

    I shop at mostly makro, they do tend to do more offers and specials.
    Now and again they do BOGOF on bog roll, and multi buys.
    Wipes not much cheaper than outside, better to buy them at the supermarket when they r on offer at BOGOF.
    Costco rarely reduce prices further, unless a new product.
    Makro send you out a leaflet once in a while with the latest deals.
    I dont think i have had any mailings from Costco, now and agian they have voucher booklets at the door.
    My Makro store is smaller than my Costco store. So limits the stuff u wanna buy.
    Costco is great to grab a bite from , its about £1.25 for a filled baked potato or a hot dog and soda its £1.50.
    So i think makro would be better for you if you want to buy the items tat u have listed.
    Hope tat helps some wat
    A smile and manners doesnt cost any thing
