Hello all

This may or may not be a bit off topic but I found myself suprised about something today and I thought I would share esp as I noticed a lot of teachers here at half term. Probably everyone already knows but i thought i would share my excitedment. There is a massive list of people who are eligible to join Costco - myself included as NHS staff. We are doing a free bar and some of the catering so I think we will definately save ourselves a few pennies on the big day. And hopefully reduce our grocery bill up to then by buying some stuff in bulk.

I have never been inside a costco - is anyone here a member? Is it worth joining?

Eligible people include:

Banking/Finance/Insurance
Civil Service/Armed Forces
Education
Fire/Rescue
Local Government
Medical/Health Service
Police Force
Post Office
Airlines

Qualified as:-
Chartered Architect
Chartered/Civil Engineer
Chartered Surveyor
Dentist
Optician
Pharmacist
Qualified/Certified/Chartered Accountant
Solicitor
Barrister
Magistrate
Advocate

Me and OH are both eligible then!

It's the joining fee thats always put me off, as I dont know if i'd spend there enough to justify it.

Hi my other half is a member, it saves us a fortune my buying certain things in bulk you do need to be careful and check prices but we go at least once a month, the fee is pretty low and i love going to get all bits and pieces,

I am eligible but my mum is a member so I just go with her. You do have to not get too excited and work out prices as some things seem like a great deal but they're actually not. But you can save loads of money if you look around, especially on wine. The joining fee is worth it, I would pay it if my mum wasn't already a member.

Me & hubby are members, have just joined up last month.

Can't say I was that impressed with it really.

Parents use Costco once a month for a big stock up.

They find it useful as they fill up 2 large chest freezers and a walk in larder cupboard with non perishables and it will keep them for a good long time if the worst ever happens (they do like to be prepared)

Could be handy if you are catering your own wedding, but otherwise it's not something I would look into personally as I don't have the space to bulk buy
