Costco, worth it?

Well worth it

The Kirkland range (their own brand stuff) is of better quality than most supermarkets own brands

For buying things that don't go off such as loo roll, dishwasher tablets etc it works out well

The massive Pizzas, the cakes etc are all great and the meat is great too

I love it

Just be warned its known as the £100 shop as when you go in you never come out having spent less than £100

We haven't covered baked goods

A lot of the baked goods are not subject to VAT and therefore the price displayed is the price you pay

These items will often state VAT does not apply to this product

Just to be totally clear you understand

Well Some good news for those in the south they are going to build one in Farnborough... So your no longer left with the choice of driving through hell to Croydon or Driving to Reading..

Surely that should be to hell? Nowhere is more hellish than Croydon is it?

Went to the local one to me tonight and the stuff I could be bothered to price check on my iPhone seemed pretty cheap. 21.5 inch iMac for £923 inc VAT (£999 at the Apple store?) and a Brabantia ironing board for £53 inc VAT (£65 on google shopping). Food also seemed keenly priced for the quality, plus of course no VAT. The steaks looked fabulous.

The steaks are fabulous!!! So are the pizzas and the cakes

Just a minor bump. Anyone done their Christmas food shopping at Costco? I joined the other week and haven't been yet. Considering popping in tomorrow morning to stock up if the quality is good.

I really like the meat there and for sheer portion size if you are having family over it cannot be beaten.

Tbh for me its like a giant playhouse I just love it. Big man toys and gadgets everywhere. Huge things you never knew you needed (I took a fancy to a kayak last time)

So if you haven't been go I reckon you'll spend £100 easy. It is handy having enough loo roll and kitchen roll for 3 months

Kirkland is the own brand stuff, have tried a few bits and been pleasantly surprised.

The booze I find is good. Wine is well priced, beer and spirits pretty good check for offers.

ETA

Have a browse

Used to be a member, but the same items often cheaper elsewhere. Why pay for the privilege of buying stuff at the same price!

We have been a member since I can actually remember. 20 years plus. When they use to have life time guarantees for TV's, we ended up returning our 10 year old TV that stopped working, this was only like 5-6 years ago and the TV was one of those massive 40 inch widescreen ones.
