Costco have another of their 20% off offers again 19th Jan- 18th Feb (you need to be a member)
|
Forgot to say you have to buy 4
|
Is there a pricelist somewhere, last time I wasted money joining, only to find my size of tyres 225 55 16 were more expensive than my usual place.
|
I'm surprised they were more expensive, even after the 20% off.
Give them a ring to check prices, the tyre dept's have separate no's.
My local watford no is 01923 699813 ( I think they don't open till 10 )

.....I wasted money joining.....
Watford always allowed you to visit (without membership) so that you could see how attractive the prices were. Last time ( 3 years ago?) I was very unimpressed by prices, I reckon that generally you could better the prices elsewhere. The specials that they do however seem to be attractive.

Pricing ? If you want Michelins their prices are iusually good.
20% off 4 is magic.
If you are not buying premium tyres then you will find tyres cheaper elsewhere.
Last time I bought at Costco they did Marshalls - a taiwan budget tyre

I've always thought there normal prices are competitive. But with 20% off and the fact they don't all have to be fitted at once, you can have them fitted for up to two years provided you keep receipt, all in initial price.

How does that "paid membership" of theirs work? You just pay to join or do you also have to be in some trade or own a shop and prove it like in Macro?

Everyone has to pay - if you're a business owner and can produce invoices etc then you can join as a trade member for £20 + VAT.
There's another class of member which allows certain employee groups to join and I think that costs something like £30 inc vat. The groups are the usual ones like , NHS, Teachers, Police, Cilil Servants etc.
A brand-new Costco has just opened up down the road from us and my wife has taken to popping in to buy cases of tangerines (which are very nice) and meat etc. So she now spends (yet another) £30-£40 a week on food - yet somehow the Sansbury's bill remains constant!!
