Costco - do you go?

[NorthEastNancy]

Tempted to get a card - I've never been!

We (me, dh and ds 14) shop in Tesco mainly. I love a big shop mooch and feel like it's somewhere I'll go on my own if I ever pass my test (currently having lessons at the grand old age of 48!)

Do you go? Would you recommend it?

And we're off - fingers crossed we can get in. The app says membership is active!

2 hours later! Spent £150, could easily have spent 10x that. Very busy, lots of free samples!

Glad you caught a day when they are giving samples. Did you have anything to eat like the hot dogs 🌭 or pizza 🍕 on your way out? They are great snacks and a big reason my kids love it there. I want to go to Costco now 😝

We did so well with samples - brioche, chicken Kiev, beef, belly pork, cheese, liquorice, yoghurt, haribo...

Yes, I had a pizza slice (massive for 2 quid!) And dh and ds had a hot dog.

I'm sold - it's a it of a trek (about 35 mins) from us though

I have 3 friends that have a card so I tend to go with them as a guest, once a year with each of them. DS just mentioned the mango chutney I bought once it was huge and took a bit too long to get through. It’s only about 15 minutes down a fast A road from me.

They hardly do any samples at ours, usually there’s 1 or 2 and never seems to be anything I’m all that bothered about.

DH could have had membership through work but it is not anywhere near where we live so didn't bother

Used to but but now it's 100 miles to the nearest one. You'd think they would at least have one in each part of the country, if not each county.

They are putting through planning for a few new ones at the moment . I’m in Kent and we don’t have one at the moment but hopefully will in a year or so .

We went back! Ds bloody loves the place!

Cooked chicken, peri wings and mac n cheese for tea 🤣

The cooked chickens and the ribs are both excellent and very good value

Just wait til their Christmas stuff is out. You never knew you needed a dining table sized Santa train set until you see it in Costco 😂

We went on the 2nd Aug, some of the Christmas stuff was out already! Probably the leftovers from last year.
