Jak thanks heaps :dance: 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 :rolleyes:
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'm going to wait for the excitement to die down, then probably go on a weekday I hear weekends are a nightmare!
DId anyone go today? Just wondering they bought and what the prices were like.
I was just checking out their website, I was hoping they'd have a catalogue or something!
A friend went today and got 60 rolls of sorbent toilet paper for $25.
she also said they had things like 1000 chupa chups for $189
Did she say what their TV prices were like Feeb?
Nope thats what DH asked also!!!
havent spoken to her its her facebook updates!!!!!!
Anymore updates on if anyone else went ... and if so, What kind of items did you purchase or more to the point What great bargains do you recommend ?? ;)
... DP, DD & i are meeting up with his folks (their travelling from Sth Gippie) at CostCo Docklands this Sunday :D
(Reckon i will do a spot of shopping at Harbour Town whilst there :dance:)
I just got back!!
Its massive and mayhem!!!!!!
People everywhere I was lucky that my friend has a membership as we got in straight away!!!!!!!! Line up for people needing to get membership organised was soooooo long.
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
Lots of good buys but you need to know your prices!
16 inch pizzas look yummy for $14.99
lots of seafood and meat and frozen stuff.
They sell fridges, jewlerry, computers, glasses, cook wear etc
If you are interested in frozen stuff or fresh stuff take a cooler bag or esky in boot of car!!!
If going with kids take a snack or toy as they get shirty sitting in trolley!!as takes ages to get around (massive trolly has 2 kid seats on them!)
Hi Feeb - what size are those Nappies?:
10 - 15 kg boy ones Umm i think called toddler
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 :D
And YEP will be packing the esky :dance: ... 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:
and weekends will be even busier especially this weekend as 1st weekend!!:
jakodai they had all sizes of huggies and smaller sizes of course more in box
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.:
