The only trouble with Costco is that it's impossible to go in for just a few items ....... it always seems to be £300/£400 when we go 

Oh yes - there is that as well 

But I agree with you ..... their meat is fantastic 

[Sir Tigger KC]

I like Costco! 

[Ever Ready]

Been in quite a few times and find it good value, the cakes are great for birthdays etc,

Now a Costco member, previously it was a big journey to visit one. But now have one around 5 miles away

Been wondering if it was worth the £30 membership fee, but on our first trip wondering around today we spotted, well MrsT spotted a Tefal 8 in 1 Cooker thing, slow cooker to rice cook and all kinds.

Cheapest I've seen it is around £60, but Costco, with offer, £37.

Bought a lot of other things too, think easily recovered the membership fee in one visit. Looking at what else they had, defo be back there many times

Dont you have to be recommended to get a membership 

Nope

Sky was on the 'list' of companies, showed them a payslip and gas bill. Job done, cards issued there and then.

I could join cause of wifey's job, but would have to travel to Leeds to shop. That's not too far but I could see my lazy arse not wanting to go after the novelty had worn off.

My problem with it is its either the wrong side of Milton Keynes, or Coventry. Neither convenient, so tend to only go every few weeks. Which means storing the larger quantities we end up buying.

I know the feeling that's why I upgraded to executive and get 2% cash back at the end of march which pays for the next year

He is. You'll love him. Honest.

  Some of the car cleaning kit is a very good price 

[joshwyatt]

The membership criteria seems rather odd. Because I'm a Magistrate, I can join...but I never knew we had a reputation as the typical bulk buyers 
I'd be interested to see what prices they do 225 55 16 Michelins for!

Not especially cheap as far as I recall when I enquired a few years ago.  I think they do different prices for different types of members. Taxi's for example.... 

Maybe if you are wearing your motor traders hat rather than your JP's wig, you might get a better price!

It is worth taking a phone in to Google prices, most of their stuff is cheaper. Some us vastly cheaper, but not everything

That's true enough, but most of their stuff is very good quality!
