Indeed. As primarily they are supposed to be supplying trade rather than end users, the ex VAT figure is what buyers are interested in.
I think they do show the inc VAT price, albeit in smaller print.
Yes they do, as mentioned twice above.I think they do show the inc VAT price, albeit in smaller print.
My phone hadn't updated the thread with the two VAT responses when I started my reply (Took a phone call half way through typing my response)
My apologies for annoying you so much that you had to respond.
we usualy just blow £100 odd on stuff we didnt really need , like massive cakes and trays of buns etc
its not a bad place though , most of what they sell is nice quality and the 5 year tv warrenty may be of some use , and i plan to get some tyres when theyre discounted
cafe is super cheap too..ideal place to take a date lol

I keep looking at one of those big chocolate cakes and thinking I should have a Man vs Food evening.
Have plenty of tea to hand - I found it very dry! The rest of their cakes are good though As it is fairly local, I tend to use it as I do Tesco & pop in for whatever it is I need, rather than going mad and stocking up on loads of stuff.
It is bulk buying still, but as I'm going to use it - the cats will always need litter & food! I need washing powder & softner, olive oil, get through loads of cola etc - I'm saving as I only get what I have space for. I stock up on meat too, but that takes planning! I have the Tesco app on my phone & check prices whilst I'm in there (which can be useful) but I'm yet to find them cheaper for what I'm buying!!

Wet & dry?
Don't know about cat food, but a friend of mine who is a police dog trainer says that Costco is far and away the cheapest place to buy the quality stuff that he feeds his dogs - I suspect the same will probably apply to cat food.Wet & dry?
Just remember that you will be buying in bulk - so make sure you have somewhere suitable at home to store stuff!

Mmmmm cake. We're planning the Baby Alvarez's christening at the moment and I plan on getting a couple cakes from there for the after party. I'd love a quiet get together but Missus Alvarez is Jamaican and a quiet get together for her is about 300 people ali_kat said:

The next big purchase is a deep freezer then I'm really going to go wild in Costco. Dan_1981 said:

They don't have a huge selection, but it's cheaper that Tesco etc!Wet & dry?
I get Felix pouches (box of 40) so it's not that bulky, they do Whiskers but only the fish (my cats don't like it!)
I get their dry from the Vet so not sure on that!
10kg of CatSan is @ £9 with VAT
