LET'S GO COSTCO!
We used to chant this as kids at my poor parents! Years later, I still get just as excited about going! Sad really isn't it?!
Costco is amazing, it's a huuuuuuge warehouse type place where you have to be a member to go in...this by no means makes it exclusive, anyone can become a member, you just have to pay for it!
They sell everything from electronics to clothes to food to toys to alcohol, it's awesome. They also have a photo printing service which is fantastic and a tyre-changing facility too. They sell everything.
A lot of the food they sell is in bulk, you get a lot of business owners here as it is a cash and carry type place but it suits big families too.
The best thing about Costco is the prices, it is ridiculous how cheap things are in here! Electronics are a stupidly low price, they undercut the Trafford Centre (which is just across the road by the way) by an insane amount for the exact same thing! It's mad!
Another thing I love about Costco and the reason we used to love it as kids is the fact that they do tasters, they have little stands on the end of aisles with random little tasters of crazy food, I love it!
I also have to mention the Costco cafe which is just after the checkouts, this is not such a well kept secret anymore as at lunchtimes you will find it full of business people from Trafford Park, it's the prices that get you here, hot dogs at £1.47?! Jacket potato's at £1.22?! Including a drink which is free refills?! The best part has to be the pizzas though, huge 18-inch pizzas for £7.99. Ridiculous.
My advice is find someone with a Costco card and try it for yourself, you can pretty much guarantee you'll want to sign up after one trip!
