    Jak thanks heaps DP will no doubt be visiting as he is a supermarket-holic (like his own Dad). Never seen someone who LOVES being in the supermarket like him

    Although i'm no sure if it's like a supermarket, it just has to have food in there and he will be a happy man

    My mum and I are splitting a membership - she pays $30 and I pay $30 - but one has their name on it!

    I think I'm going to wait a week or 2 before we go though!

    That's what I'm thinking of doing, that way it doubles as an excuse to catch up!

    Good idea on the waiting, too. According to the news website, there were 900 people in the first half an hour! The article also mentions something about "running at about 450 shopping groups coming every half hour." - Not sure what that means, exactly, but maybe they tours for the newbies?

    I got 148 huggies for $67.99
    60 rolls of kleenex cottenelles toilet rolls for $29.79
    Duracell AA batteries 36 pack for $24.99

    Thumbs up

    Oh THANKS a million Feeb for warning us, might get DP to ring his folks to maybe get membership organised online (if possible for them to do so) ... his Dad is like me has zero tolerance for waiting in queues, LOL

    ... WOW, Durcall batteries are cheap, be getting some of those

    And YEP will be packing the esky ... Hopefully Miss C won't get cranky as she loves lots of people round her & she hasn't seen her Grandparents for 3mths !!

    I was thinking the same thing BUT - your membership card has to have your photo on it, and you'd probably have to pick it up, so you'd probably have to wait in the lines anyway. Or they might send it out to you, but then you'd have to wait, and I'm WAY too impatient for that!!! lol

    Cool - thanks feeb. I need to get some before my little guy's born, but I don't really want to battle the crowds... Hopefully the hype will die down soon.
