I am in a position to have a card (ie got own business etc) but is it really that cheap in there?

I have heard that a friend got 4 michellin tyres for a Transit for around 100 quid.

Anyone else use them and are they really that cheap?

 

I dont think it is!

Tyres maybe, but everything else isnt, ive had a trade card for ages, only been once and that was for the pizza!

 

not bad for the prices depends how many times you will go there.

 

well its a 20mile odd journey so would have to be worth it and also the cost of the card i got a makro 1 and dont think there that cheap tbh.

 

quality place!

bought the ultimate trolley jack for Ł60 and they sell well nice cakes!

membership is only about Ł12 isnt it?

 

Quality place, great prices on certain stuff, esp garage stuff.

Ignore Banchester (as ever )

 

Everyones entitled to there opinion

 

But what you said wasnt an opinion, it was a fact, jus an incorrect one

You told him nothing is cheap, which is bollocks, as theres some mega cheap stuff there, esp the low lift trolly jacks, tool chests, tools in general, etc etc.

 

i got ,miss sixty jeans in there for Ł30, which to me is bloody good as normally it costs aything between Ł70-Ł130


see a few other good deals in there, but couldnt tell you the last time i went in there

 

My opinion (as above) end of subject

 

What about for Tyres then steve?

 

some stuff is cheap some isnt simple as!

 

its good, their prices are cheap if you compare like for like, their mince and meat in general is very very nice, try their mince and you will never eat that supermarket shit again. tools etc they are cheap for, the clothes are shit tho overall stuff is ok priced, chimbo is wicked there

oh and their canteen is wicked

 

what the hell is chimbo ????????

 

You cna feed the whole family for under a Ł10 anfd theres no skimping on the portions either...

 

I've never found it particularly cheap tbh, you get the odd bargain every now and then.

To make full use of the discounts available you really need to buy bumper bulk packs of everything, which if for a business then thats fine, it keeps costs down, but for your average Joe, who really wants a mahoosive bucket of beans?!

Always worth a mooch round every couple of months just to see what offers or new stock they've managed to get their hands on.

 

They do the bestest cookies in bulk ever!

 

what is COSTCO ?

 

The stuff that tends to be cheaper are those you get in bulk (soft drinks, toilet rolls, batteries) or are meant for trade use (big slabs of cheese, cafe size butter, coffee, 5L tub of wonder wheels) etc...

Normal single items that you can get else where arent generally such a bargin (clothes, tools, furnature etc..) - you have to shop around first really!

A couple of weeks ago they were giving out these little booklets full of tokens that had special offers on different items each week. Some of the stuff in there has been really cheap!

Go down there and ask for a visitors pass, this allows you entrace for the day but you cant buy anything. Ideal to decide if you think its worth signing up.

 

errrr christmas
i meant it wicked at christmas cos the chocolates etc etc are cheap

 

uh oh, chavros will slaughter you for saying that

 

Didnt realise you could do that mate. I think i will do that first.

Do u need to prove you are entitled to a proper card for a visitor one tho? ie the things they say u need to prove ur self employed business etc?

 

Similar to Makro mate. Big wholesale place.

I rate it

 

their pastries and crossiants are sooooooooooo nice

 

Costco does not sell cheap stuff - it sells top quality brands at well cheaper than retail on the high street - from engine oil, Levis, Michelin only tyres actually, to cream buns, if you want cheap stuff go somewhere else. The returns policy is worth quadruple the membership alone.

 

[Catherine Tate impression] Am I Bothered?! [/Catherine Tate impression]

 

Yes - I bet you could probably buy it at Costco and then try to flog it at a 25% mark-up on other car forums, not that anyone would try that

Dont think we have them down here atm Gareth, I want to go to Makro but dont know how to get a card

 

not sure wht costco is like over here but COSTCO in america is AWESOME proper cheap

 

mmmmmmmmmmm the muffins only you feel sick after 2

must admit tho the meat in there is great if you bulk buy with family/friends as the quaility is great.

beer isn't that cheap tho.

Oh the pizza
