Hi,

Sorry if this is the wrong place to post but here I go until it gets removed.

Does anyone know how much bags of frozen strawberries, frozen blueberries and dried apricots are at Costco?

I am thinking of joining and as I make jam, this would be my first incentive to take the plunge.

I am a bit embarrassed about posting this but I've Googled and can't find it that way.

Thanks

I'm quite sure that if you go to the customer service desk and explain that you are thinking about joining they let you have a look around. You can't buy anyway since you need a card at the checkout. Probably not the best place for what you are currently looking for though.

They make it sound pretty strict but I know lots of people who are registered. I know a taxi driver, lecturers and a bus driver who have them, I think even I could get in since I have manager in my job title, even though I would have no need to shop there in business terms!

Yes fair enough. Are the savings really that good just for your normal shopper?

I might try and join to get one of these new fandangled 6 mega pixels digital cameras cheap:

The strawberries are consistently more expensive than supermarkets, and there would be no point in making jam from them. Other things are much cheaper though.

I can highly recommend their big boxes of cherry tomatoes on the vine. Lovely.

I like going for stuff near Christmas but it gets very busy.

Yes. I'm a member.

Don't think they intentionally let people on benefits become members but there are way and means to get a card.
