Costco - is it worth a visit

[TINKERBELL43]

We will be staying off-site for 13 days and eating out mainly when in the villa. Just wondering if there is any point in going to Costco as there is nothing we would want to bulk buy? We have a card and visit Costco regularly in this country and love it.

Meat is always good there if you are BBQ, cooked chickens, pastries etc but agreed no buying in bulk

We buy their dips, crisps, cereals, fruit, OJ, milk, salad, cooked chicken, butter, cold meats and other bits for snacks, and seafood & steaks for BBQ dinners as well as some heat up stuff (lasagne, etc). All good value and you don’t need to bulk buy - pretty much like the UK.

We do this too - very good quality and value - and theoretically it saves the multiple trips to Publix. I say theoretically because I seem to end up there every other day anyway.

We always go- we got our fuel from there as it’s so cheap and last time we managed to get tommy polos, DKNY shorts and Levi jeans dirt cheap. We also stock up on mega packs of Aveeno cream, children’s vitamins and those multi pack Rice Krispies bars. They also had the most gorgeous mahogany dining set, unfortunately that never made its way to the UK stores They really should offer shipping to the U.K.!

Thanks for all the replies - looks like we may make a wee visit

We do for water beer toiletrolls etc but we tend to eat in a lot go for longer periods but worth a wee trip

On the flip side... I live in the US however when I visit the UK I love to visit the UK costco... even if I while nothing I just like to compare.

On a side note, on my last trip to the UK I brought with me a US friend (first time visitor to the country). Whilst in Costco she sampled a piece of Soreen Malt loaf, I guess Malt bread is an acquired taste because she literally started gagging on it... I laughed till I cried

Always worth a visit, CK underwear and other designer clothing very cheap, word of warning though DONT go on a Sunday
