Hooray smile I went today with a paystub from my previous job showing that I had worked in a bank (the customer service girl said it was fine, she knew I didn't work there now) So I am now a member of what was the elusive Costco.

I bought a few things, and now we won't need toilet paper for ages and have enough washing powder to last a very long time too.

The full name of the company is Costco Wholesale, the clue is in the name, it is a wholesaler or what some businesses call a "cash & carry" they are not a retail outlet. There are many other wholesalers in the UK who have stricter membership rules to keep out the "riff raff", Costco Wholesale have just extended their eligibility to include limited individual membership as well as trade membership. It is not a supermarket to do your weekly food shop at, unless you normally buy your food in bulk on trays or by the pallet load.
Maybe Makro or Booker should start relaxing their membership rules to compete with Costco.

I used to have a card, but found there wasn't much I wanted to buy. Nor was it much cheaper if at all, and you had to buy in bulk which means you have to store tons of the stuff. Unless you live nearby, the cost of driving to one is more than you'll save these days anyway, and as a shopping experience it is pretty unpleasant too.

Aldi and Lidl are much better bets, and you can buy as much or as as little as you want without financial penalty.
