Costco Bargins (merged)

For anyone who is thinking of buying something in particular, I have noticed that you can do online shopping (not food) on the US site & they have the exact products stocked in the UK as well as the same price so it is useful for knowing the price & shopping around before you go to the UK shop:

But the prices are the USA $ prices??!

Yes you have to convert it to GBP according to the exchange rate & that's more or less how much you'll find it selling in the UK for

eg I paid £40 for the goose down duvet & on .com they are selling it for $75 which is £43

Costco in Milton Keynes had lots of tins of Winnie the Pooh sweets (mini packets of Jelly Tots, Pastilles, Kit-Kats etc.) for £1.97+VAT yesterday. These come in a lovely round tin with a picture of Pooh and Tigger in the winter - contained around 50 packets of sweets for £2.31. I got two but now wish I'd bought a few more - grab them while you can.

Bought a bag of Wagg chicken & Veg dog food at Costco yesterday, never looked at the price in store, last bag I got was about £8.50. Checked the till receipt on the way out and only paid £4.19 (ex VAT), £4.93 with VAT. And the bag had a sticker saying that a free dog lead valued at £2.99 was included. I have not found the lead yet but still works out very cheap for mutt food.

What was the weight of the bag.. normally get pedigree for my mutt.. but it might be worth a try.

It's so you can check the prices before you go to see if it's worth your while....

Does anyone know if Costco sell Kettle chips or some other brand of hand cooked thick cut crisps? If so, how much are they?

I have seen Kettle crisps in costco loadsa times but as you know they change their prices so do not know price. Our costco are great and if you ring first they will tell you the price before you go.
