When you wheel your loaded trolley to the exit, those guys who stop you aren't really counting.
They only look for a few items to make sure you gave the receipt that matches the trolley. It's to stop on their people walking off with your trolley whilst you fill your face at the cafe.

Anyone going to Enfield soon? If so, can you keep an eye out for the price of the Westhuf knives? My phone always struggles with internet once inside and I'd like to compare prices before I buy.

I've been for the 1st time today.

I needed a new jack so I've picked up one of their 1.8t aluminium jacks. I was quite impressed on how they seemed to have one of everything so that you can see them. The jack looks spot on for what I need it for.

Some of the stuff in there wasn't as cheap as you can get in supermarkets but I was impressed over all.

I've picked up a massive jar of sweets to take into the office on Monday along with a few other bits.

I avoided the hot food section but did I miss out on the hot dogs?

Is that the one that's almost £100, when you can get a very similar thing in Machine Mart for £20?

The steel Arcan is a better, if not prettier, proposition than the aluminium one, but theyre both massively better and cheaper than anything in Machine Mart!

As said the one from Costco is far superior to the £20 ones from Machine Mart. Well I think it is anyway, if you are happy with the £20 ones then fair enough.
