1kg block of cheese (own brand) or 2 x 350g cathedral city if its on offer
Pack of 4 boxes of Lindt balls if we have birthdays coming up
Then bqq chicken pizza at the end !!

1kg block of cheese

You must eat a lot of cheese or have a big family/both?

We bought the same 1kg cheese block and couldn't get through it. We are 2 adults and 1 toddler. It went mouldy when we got halfway

I'm quite excited and yes, I am that sad ...

Loo roll, detergent, some of the fruit, cola, bags of jumbo prawns, the pizza, pasta, oils, ribs, so much more.

I grate and freeze some of the cheese if we buy a 1kg block.

I've actually had to stop buying the 1kg block of cheese as DP ate it too QUICKLY, I'm sure it lasted the same amount of time a 350g block does

Coastal Cheese....or there is an alternative in the same brand, both are delicious

SanFrancisco coffee beans....gorgeous

Beurre D'Isigny.... very reasonable

Chocolate chip cookies
Shortbread Choc Chip cookies....both of these will freeze

They also do D'isgny squirty cream....much nicer than the usual spray foam!

Boned skinned chicken thighs are often good value, but watch the packs sometimes the butchering is scrappy

Braising steak...really nice quality meat

Giant Ham/Gammon joints....really super, but remember the size of your biggest pan!

Extra large jars of coffee....depending on their offers that can be amazing value

I love costco!

I buy cans of Pepsi max because we have a unhealthy obsession lol

Other than that, loo roll and bleach

OP it's not sad, we did Costco and Ikea in the same day a few weeks ago and I was excited for ages before

You're not sad. Shopping at Costco is an exhilarating experience. It's a family day out for us.

Try their cafe food afterwards if you're tired from walking around.

@Freeshavocado I used to find that with Lurpak ....we seemed to go through a tub a week...no matter if it was the large or medium one...I stopped buying the big ones when the children were small and making their own lunches and breakfasts.

Big bag of frozen Angus beef. Excellent quality. We always buy it when there.

Unless you buy branded food I don't think you'll find many bargains and even then I think supermarkets often have chaper prices

I agree with loo rolls, cans of fizzy drinks and bottled water but most other things I find more expensive

@LaurieSchafferIsAllBitterNow I only buy one block of cheese a week now, it it gets eaten in 2 days then that's everyone else's fault for eating it too quickly!

I also have the Tesco website up on my phone to check prices are a good deal

Two jar pack artichokes
Frozen salmon fillets
Frozen chicken nuggets
Frozen tail on prawns
Box of navel oranges

Bags of frozen chicken
Pulled pork (fridge)
Catering packs of bacon (split into 3 & freeze)
