The great thing about Costco is they treat their employees well.

You came to our Costco. Recognise that wind turbine anywhere 😂 we love the skippy peanut butter and the Costa instant coffee is very good value. Also the toilet roll, black backs and Kirkland washing pods are good, smells fine and they do the job. Also if you like bottled water that is very good value 40 for under a 5er.

Wow. I'm humbled as an American. I don't belong to Costco because I don't need to be. There's so many other places here to shop for better prices. I just never realized this is not the always the case in a place like the UK.

Hey folks just a reminder that Costco's Kirkland brand coffee is actually STARBUCKS...both are in Seattle,Washington & almost all of Kirkland coffee bags & wholebean says down at the bottom Starbucks... I almost never go to any Starbucks here in Rochester,NY...we are one of the few cities in Upstate NY that have a Costco...most congested urban cities protest Costco stores....the auto /delivery truck traffic beomes unbearable in already over used roads,the one in Buffalo,NY has faced an uphill legal battle so no warehouse yet...Canadians shop here as well but what a great value on Starbucks!!!

One of the big loss leaders that Costco sells at every store in the US is a whole cooked & hot roast/rotisserie chicken for US$4.99. It's always at the back of the store adjacent to the meat section. You were right next to that area I believe at 10:34; I'm curious if they're offering it in your UK store?

I shop at the first Costco ever opened (Store #1). It’s interesting how they sell different foods based on consumer trends at each location. There are three Costco‘s within 10 miles from my home and some foods that sell at one might not sell at another. Does your Costco not sell cloths? I didn’t see any in your video.

We go every month for our none perishables, meat (much better quality and we freeze it), cereal, coffee, tea, pastries, washing products. They always have offers on, once a member you get a email telling you their deals). We have the space to bulk shop but if you don’t you could always split with family or friends. When we go we always pick items up that friends or family want. This month was coffee, Coca Cola, Pepsi cans, washing liquid. We have the exec membership so get about 2% back once a year from our spending there which we usually put towards a bigger ticket item or clothing for the summer. You do need to check if it’s a good deal but when you’ve been shopping there a while you kind of know if it’s over priced.
