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?

Some of the things we buy are definitely 2-3 times the price of local stores.

It's definitely a place you have to do tactical shopping and keep a close eye on the special offers too. We get laundry liquid that is no longer sold in the supermarkets, massive packs of dishwasher tabs, pizzas, and thankfully our cats do like the food they have so we make back our card cost in cat food alone.
We don't buy the meats since nowhere to store larger pieces, but the two sushi addicts in the household are rather partial to a tray of it...

I just bought new Michelins for the car and they were 2/3 the cost of the local cheap tyre place, so another bargain.

It helps that they are not far away from us so it's not a major trek, but I do wish they'd put in a petrol station.

@macaroniandpizza ,it is the best laminate we've had.
It's really hard wearing & never smears when washed like some .
We are going to replace our more expensive laminate in the bathroom with it as it's so much better.
DH also says it was easier to lay than others he's done .
