Actually, supermarkets are not cheaper - not for the household goods and
food we buy. I did a very careful analysis, and we easily cover the cost
of membership, fuel and more.

We buy large packs of loo rolls, tissues, kitchen rolls (but not blue
rool, Nisbets are cheaper). Plus catering packs of meat (mince, chicken,
bacon, etc.) which we split up and freeze. Then there is the cat food,
soup, Marmite, olive oil, etc.

I have to say that on our second visit we bought a load of storage
shelving...

Typical spend for us is £500-£600 a visit - perhaps five times a year.



well I went for a couple of new tyres in a rwd car that wouldn't be driven
by a woman and they insisted that they put them on the rear.....so they had
to move all four wheels and I had to move them back again when I got home
