There's a Makro within walking distance of my office.Originally posted by TheFaQQer View PostWe only really bought sweets and cakes from there when we had a membership. If there's a Makro / Booker nearby then you may be better off trying there first - particularly since it's free to join.
Sign up online at Makro and then pop in with your temporary print at home card and a couple of company documents and you're away.
Costco is going to be a pain to get to unless I have the car.
Daughter's having her 4th birthday party in a week. We only moved house 6 weeks ago and still have shed loads of boxes to unpack and stuff to fix. The wife's also pregnant which is making her really lazy, so Costco was suggested as a great place for party platters etc.Comment

I was getting nagged about joining the new opening near us soon. I grunted OK until she said we had to take my VAT certificate as proof etc to join. At that point i didnt like the sound of it anymore and said no. I heard it about the same prices for almost everything as Tesco?Comment

Depends what you're buying. We save the cost of membership on discount Aspals cider. In a previous life... It was worth joining for the price of their potato scones.Originally posted by Mincepie View PostI was getting nagged about joining the new opening near us soon.

Booze works out about the same, but food is much cheaper and a good selection and white goods / etc are good. It's the difference in products that make it though.Originally posted by Mincepie View PostI was getting nagged about joining the new opening near us soon.

They insist on VAT certificates though to keep out the chavs.What happens in General, stays in General.You know what they say about assumptions!Comment
