To be excited about getting a costco card?

[macaroniandpizza]

Im getting a costco card through my work and im beyond excited . Im really looking forward to seeing what its all about. Ive been to makro many times in the past. Told my gran i was getting a card and she said oh costco is way better than makro.
What are the things to look out for and what should i stock up on?

Chocolate fudge cake is all you need.
I’d you like a brand and have storage then it’s worth it too.

Oh I went today, I always stock up on meat, drinks, rice/pasta /cereal is a good deal.

Also house hold items are always worth a look too...

Seconding the chocolate fudge cake. I love the pizza from the takeaway bit at the end too.

Ooh, I love a Costco thread!
Rule number one, eat before you go to combat stupid purchase syndrome.
Must buys..
Danish pastries/croissants
Parma ham
Chorizo sausages
Coastal cheddar
Fresh pasta
Their beef is lovely
Dishwasher tablets, Kirkland brand. Brilliant.
The full fat Greek yoghurt in a massive blue tub
Razor blades
Check the kids books

Have fun!

Their birthday cake!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Meat is good quality and ideal for portioning up and freezing.
Cookies, choc fudge cake.
Fresh cut up mango
Hot dog or pizza from the restaurant on the way out
Kids books

Ooh that is exciting. I haven't been to Costco in years but used to love it.

Anything that is their own brand 'kirkland' used to be really top notch quality and the meat they sell is fantastic.

Their mac & cheese bake is awesome, especially with some chilli pork belly strips.

The box of chocolate brownie mix. Best ever.

Kirkland kitchen roll - massive sheets and doesn’t disintegrate
Loo roll
Meat
Cookies

We love their dishwasher powder and cakes.

Just note that they don’t accept credit card. Only debit card or American Express.

Their sandwich platters for hosting are great, v good value.

Shortbread, Ghirardelli brownie mix, instant teriyaki pot noodle type things, duck spring rolls, ALL OF THE BOOKS, petrol if yours does it, random £5000 Wendy houses that pop up in the summer, giant hideous Christmas decorations...

God I love that place.

I want a card.... My precious... I can find no reason why they should give me one though.

makro is rubbish.

never been to costco not got one near.

I'm just back from Costco, our turkey was from there this year. Lovely 😁
Meats
Chicken
Cake
Own brand Prosecco
Toilet rolls
Washing powder
Basmati rice
Muffins
Lasagne enchiladas
And loads more.

Petrol! I reckon I am saving at least £5 per tank when filling up there. I got one recently via work and we got a great deal on the coffee we drink and an industrial sized box of puppy pads.

Chocolate chip shortbread
Cookies

Im also sadly excited ive finally got my own costco thread on MN

Im not lucky enough for a credit card so only have a debit card anyway

Love Costco!

Kirkland own brand stuff is good quality.

The fresh 'ready meals' are lovely. The cottage pie, the burritos (very spicy!), the steak pie, the salads.

The Kirkland organic marinara sauce...3 pack in glass jars.

Some of the toiletries....sure deodorant is good value, as is some of the moisturiser.

Magazines are cheaper than on the high st.

Ray ban sunglasses are very reasonable.

I spend far too much time and money in Costco!

poppy my neighbour gave me some of the muffins to try and they were amazing. Im getting another rescue dog after new year so will stock up on puppy pads too

Oops. Enchiladas not burritos. (What's the difference?! )

Oh man, I’m so jealous!

I might need to get a membership again.

Cookies and the chocolate chip shortbread!
Croissants. Chicken tenders. Kids pyjamas.

If kirkland dog biscuits are good i may look to see if they are cheaper than millies wolfheart and swap but they would need to be very good for me to do so
