    I hardly ever go there but I did get a catering size bottle of Tabasco and Call of Duty MW2 for £20 on release day.
    Oooh that sounds like my kind of night in.

    Id feel very sad, if the only thing people talked about me behind my back was what fizzy drink brand I had.

    You wont just go in one as they are members only, so you'd have to join first. Though this just means proving you have your own company, so pretty simple for us.

    And no they dont have old tat, they have cheap branded products in bulk. I have the Makro mail next to my desk, they have

    180 Finish Classic powerball for £10.99 + vat

    48 Charmin / Cushelle £12.00 + vat

    24 Aqua Pura 500ml £2.99 + vat

    Theres loads of stuff in there in fact you can check it out yourself here:-

    I was in makro to get a bunch of 84l "really useful boxes" for storage and some beer for tomorrow's football. Big fan of the relentless drinks for running so was down that way.

    They do sell 20 pound packs of grated cheese and the like being a cash and carry.
