The made-to-order celebration cakes are freakin' delicious. Very good for office birthdays

Cheap as fook too.

Costco is good. I have a business card which gives me 2% back. They only accept debit cards of American Express (Go figure).

It's for bulk buying, so if you want lots of an item it's a lot cheaper. Wine is not, get it from Tescos or elsewhere especially when they do a 25% off sale.

It's great for food though, though be careful sometimes it's better at the supermarket, so you have to know you're bargains. Party food, BBQ stuff brilliant. Also pop in for lunch , a hot dog and refillable coke just 1.50

At Xmas it's brilliant though, books, toys and this puppy for Halloween.

As WGAS said, if you have one nearby worth a look.

If you have a ltd company, it's much better to go to Booker/Makro They are not always cheaper ,but if you look out for their promotions, there are some very good deals. And their meat is always good, you just need a big freezer
ANd unllike COsto you don't need to pay a fee, just show your company registration and VAT certificate if you have one at your first visit.

Do you mean show Contracting Ltd Co details to be able to buy from Booker or Makro?

Any min quantities?

If you're doing a kids party or something, they're great for catering. Order a few trays of sandwiches, wraps etc and it all comes prepared ready to just take the lids off. Get some big square pizzas and sausage rolls etc to throw in the oven and you're laughing.

I think they're good for fuel as well, but only if theres one nearby. No point driving 15 miles to fill your car up a couple of pennies a litre cheaper.

They are not retailers.

This is a most pertinent point. Difficult to compare to online retailers like amazon, completely different.

There's one near me and I have to say I am a fan but you need to ask yourself: Do I really need 22 packets of cotton buds? We used to get beef and chicken but got the chicken home one day and it stank royally! We stick with the Aberdeen Angus beef and separate it out and freeze at home.

It's good for toilet/kitchen roll as I can make a decent saving on that. There are some good deals but yes better in store than website. I remember some posh couple told me if I ever wanted a garden trampoline - long story - get it from Costco, but I've never seen one for sale as yet.

I'm a member. The website contains little of value, the good deals are in-store. They are most competitive on food and household consumables.

IT/AV stuff and booze tend to be not much better priced than anywhere else.

How's the food now, I was a member for a while but remember the meet being crap tulip?

[WTFH]

Thanks - might be worth taking a look

It's worth looking at if there is one near you. If the nearest one is an hour or more away, it's probably not worth it.

Does anyone use Costco? Every time I’ve looked at their site I can’t find anything that’s cheaper than Amazon or Tesco’s.
