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

If you're near one, its a no brainer.

The meats (from their own butcher section) are usually very good quality as well.

Kimchi noodles are a winner Tunnie, very spicy and come in packs of 12

[tunnie]

Yeah their fish looked good too, frozen stuff looked good too. Bacon for some reason was mega cheap?

MrsT spotted a few things which were close to half the price she has been paying, also, week days it's so empty in there!

As a bonus, as it's right next to Farnborough airport you get that kerosene smell in the car park

Will give them a go

I've had a craving for gyoza, saw some frozen ones for the first time, won't be as good as Japan but planning to try those too

The catering pack is, errr, catering quality. I tend to buy the packaged ones they do, 6 (or "packs" in a bundle

£30? thought it was £30...?


I think macro is cheaper, but shambolic, on occasions.

Still, a clean sheet I suppose.

Thats the only reason I pay the membership - only meat from a good butchers is as good quality but much more money

Their buffet platters are to die for
Freezer section is always a place to stop at, we always get the packs of salmon & chicken breasts (juicy  ) and the big packs of bacon (split & frozen)
Cooked chickens are good
Their Celebration Cakes (special order) are great value
+ + + + + + more .....

Dont you have to be recommended to get a membership 

[Andy B]

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
