Milk & Beans, probably. Or Leicester.  MK is always busy, Leicester is always dead.

If you don't qualify (need to be self employed, ex services, or your employer must be on their "Gold Partner" list) then try finding the Costco stand at something like the Grand Designs show .. they get paid commission for each sign up and often don't seem to care.

.. allegedly.

Thankfully I get in on the basis of being a qualified bean counter! 

Looking at their store map, SWMBO and I are going to be moving to Sutton Coldfield in the coming months (hopefully) so we can get to the Brum one easily enough - although I suspect that will be rammed most of the time.

Costco is great! 

Not everything is cheap, but everything is good quality. I buy fuel (cheap), meat, fish, marmite, and because I'm a stylish sort of chap, clothes as well.

Their beef is really nice.

Milton Keynes is full of, well, Milton Keynes types. Unruly kids ripping open boxes and generally making a nuisance of themselves. But its our nearest.

We tend to use Coventry one a lot, as you don't get the issues of unruly kids and inconsiderate parents.


I agree with the other comments, its not that cheap, but the quality is consistently good.  TBH, I only keep my membership going for the meat etc, because the 55m round trip (MK) or 80 mile round trip (Cov) costs more than the savings.

[Andy B]

Fortunately we have 2 of them that aren't too far away.

Think our nearest is Birmingham followed very closely by Coventry, unfortunately I don't meet the membership criteria

[STEMO]

We have Leeds and Sheffield and wifey is eligible, but I CBA......Asda will do for me. 5W/30 is £8 for 5 litres at the mo.

These guys have a good reputation with the OOF populous...

 1.25 tonne seems a bit lightweight for my preference.

Perhaps something like this then:-
