Costco Testimonials

I think Costco have some really good deals and its great you can buy in bulk very ideal for parties etc! All the food is nice! Especially the birthday cakes you get a really really big cake just for a tenner which i think is a really good bargain! Theres always staff around and usually some staff with a little display offering you little nibbles to try what they have in store! The queues are never that long! They also have a little cafe where you can get hot and cold food which is really nice and also really good for money you can also take it away with you!
Also there's always loads of parking spaces no matter what time of year you go even at Christmas!!

Costco is Brilliant. You couldn't get absolutely everything there, but what they have is generally superb value. All the big manufacturer's/brands are there. Fantastic customer services. The TV I bought there was £120 cheaper than anywhere on the High Street or web. And it's not even an expensive one to start with. And it includes a 5 year warranty FREE. None of this buy the extended warranty you get browbeaten into at Comet or Currys ets.

Since the yelping public has voted and made it quite clear that I am decidedly much funnier than I am cool, I'll cut my cool losses and shoot myself in the 'ever-being-cooler-than-funny' foot with another review of the mega-chain (and the mega-awesome) Costco.

Becuase even though you're judging me, you're also jealous that I was there and didn't pick *you* up 30 toilet rolls for a tenner or 3 boxes of Crunchy Nut for £7. Or that amazing Kirkland brand trail mix with the fake MandMs. Or eleventy billion vitamins.

But what I would like to add to this seeming useless, uncool review is that they've translated the £1.50 hot dog + soda deal into "English" with the ability to opt for the .50p tea + bakewell tart offer. Keepin' it classy, Costo! Raaaaather!

Flippin’ huge warehouse of cash & carry stuff that carries an impressively wide range of goods, with varying discounts on the prices you would see on the high street (or even online). You need to sign up (and pay) to be a member to shop here - you qualify for membership if you run or manage a business, or if you work in a certain profession, e.g. bean-counting.

Check out the Costco website to see the full list of types of stuff they sell, but suffice to say you could drive up here and leave your car to get its tyres changed, then go inside to get your photos developed while you take your massive trolley round the store, filling it with a MacBook Pro, an electronic piano, a vacuum cleaner, a platter of sushi, and a rump of lamb. If the car’s not quite done, sit down and get yourself a pizza or pie at the in-store cafe.

While the variety of stuff available is impressive, the range on offer can be limited, so don’t expect to find absolutely everything here. For example, there were only a couple of Wii games on offer during my visit - Mario Kart and Guitar Hero World Tour.

Probably the best discounts on offer are in the fresh meat department. The beef and lamb are British, although Costco could probably do more to provide more information on the provenance of the meat, since the initial assumption is that cheap meat can only have come from badly treated livestock.
