Title: Costco and price of Cat food
Post by: Gill (sneakiefeline) on November 11, 2008, 18:02:14 PM
Today I became a member of Costco cos a new branch has just opened in Cardiff.

To be a member you either have to run a business and be able to prove it or know someone who does and become one of their outworkers!!

Or in certain professions and retired you can be an individual member.

So bought a 48 box of felix meat selection pouches in jelly....half meat pouches and half fish.........was £8.39 plus vat, they also have whiskers pouches about the same price and tins. Sorry didnt look at price grrrrrrrrr.

So dont know if any of you rescues have a costcos near you, quite a lot of branches now and costs £20 a year to be a memeber if you a business and £14 approx for a membership on someones business membership and £25 for qualifying individauals. Think the 20 and 25 may be plus vat cos the £14 includes the vat.

Branches at Aberdeen, birmingham, Bristol, Cardiff. Chester, Chingford, Derby. Edinburgh, Gateshaed, Glasgow, Haydock, Leeds. Liverpool. Manchester. Milton Keynes, Oldham, Reading. Sheffield, Thurrock and Watford and there is another new one opening soon but cant remember where.

One snag also maybe is you cannot pay by credit card, only debit, I forgot to ask if they accept cheques.

Basically its a wholesaler and some things are good price and others not and packs of stuff are catering sizes or in 24s and stuff.

If you want any more info please pm me.

I'm a member. The only thing I find is that they rotate their stock so they might not have exactly the same brands out all the time but there are huge savings to make especially if you buy in bulk.

http://www.costco.co.uk/ will give you more info too.  ;)

We used to apparently, but it didn't always work out that cheap on cat food.

I will have to see if we have one nearby. I still have a card for Bookers - although strictly speaking, I shouldn't use it any more as they only give them to businesses. One more little trip before xmas won't hurt though?  :shify:

I never found them very cheap for catfood - a lot of things in wholsesalers are more expensive than supermarket offers. That is why I have boxes of Felix senior stashed all over. We have an antique bureau in the upstairs landing - open the door and it is full of cat food  :evillaugh:

I like Cost Co for cat food, the price does alter sllightly occasionally but it's rare to find a better deal elsewhere. Whiskas is a bit dearer than Felix, both tins and pouches. My lot like the cost co own biscuits too.

Glad you've got one nearby Gill!
