I heart Costco

I went to Costco today, and this is what i bought:

big pack of chicken thighs
big tub of Belgian chocolate chips (for fudge-making!)
big box of Krusteaz milk choc chip cookie mix
6-pack of Chicken of the Sea white tuna
big jar of Skippy
6-pack of Veeta microwave basmati rice in tubs

All for only £27... not too shabby!   Those chicken thighs i split into 6 baggies of 3 thighs each, so that's 6 meals each we are getting from those (DH eats 2 thighs and i eat 1) for only a fiver!

Oh, and if you are a blonde woman with an American accent, with a Scottish man, looking at the 12-packs of bean & cheese burritos in the freezer section... i saw you! 

Good for you! I never spend less than £100 when I go. We spend the most money on booze and cupcakes 

if they accepted credit cards, i'd be spending £100 a time in there.
unfortunately, it's only cash or debit cards they take, so that puts the brakes on me big-style.

That's the thing that makes me laugh, then Costco in the states accept American Express credit cards.   

Yes, Costco is like visiting a little bit of home. 

We go once a month and DH and I make a date out of it. 

Ours is in Derby. 

Q-G, you better be up for another Costco trip once I move over! 

The best thing I got at Costco was the most enormous bottle of Listerine that has actually lasted the 18 year old longer than 5 minutes.  I swear she drinks it like water.

Sounds like my husband!     I think I'll have to keep an eye out for it next time we go...

Their enchilladas are lovely and done with pulled chicken!

of course!

of course!

Just make sure it's after Xmas! 

or during the week...  no weekends!!

How much is a Costco membership?  And is it worth going if you don't have a car?  Do they have many "bus-able" items?

It's about £25/year.  I can't see it being of any use if you're relying on public transport.  You'd have to get a taxi home as most of the products come in huge quantities.  Otherwise, you'd end up taking a 5-gallon tub of olive oil home on the bus.

That's the thing - I let our membership expire because we never went.  DH hates to go & I don't drive here (yet).  But just wait until I get my full UK licence... (on my list of projects for next year)

And yeah - it's best to stay away from places like Costco (& Ikea) at the weekends.

It depends on what you call bus-able. Recently I saw a couple putting a fence panel onto a bus...
