      ​@HannahRicketts I thought of one way around the membership joining rules, it's not an easy option but workable. Here in Australia anyone can join and I mean anyone. Costco membership is international, last time in the uk our Australian membership allowed us to shop at costco gateshead. Maybe you can get digital membership online, no need for a physical card it's on your phone

    Yes, most red velvet cakes are made with artificial dyes red and chocolate. However, originally it was due to non-alkalized chocolate and buttermilk reaction that created the reddish tent. It wouldn't be as bright as modern-day velvet cakes, but it was tinted reddish. Nowadays people will sometimes if they're not using artificial dyes they'll use natural dyes to try to bring out more of the red.

The rotisserie chicken, smoked pulled pork package and their florals. And keep on with your chatting just as you are.

    Costco is my husband’s favourite store 😂 I don’t go very often because the parking lot is crazy. We live in southern Ontario in Canada and we were amazed at the items you have in England we have here. I like buying the items to bake with, and my husband likes getting outdoor items for our yard and some of the plants are nice. We bought pansies at Easter and they are doing beautifully. We also love the fresh flowers. We don’t have a scanner when we enter the store, we have people checking our cards and they check our receipts when we leave. Love your videos, looking forward to Fridays!

    Ms. Hannah, I Love the 'odd' ❤❤❤ .. .. Almost all the Costco's here in the Colonies have Petrol Stations but none have as much Garden Greenery as yours .. ..
    COSTCO clearly learned their lessons from McDonalds and are driven by their Real Estate Group that OKs all their warehouse locales .. .. If they decide to ever close a warehouse, imagine how much they could make by building a high-rise flats/retail complex instead .. .. So, even if a warehouse underperforms, they will still profit in the end .. .. Smart .. ..

    Very interesting! I remember about 35 years ago when Sam’s Club first started that membership was restricted, but now anyone can buy Costco or Sam’s membership. What surprised me the most is how cheap your membership prices are! My membership costs me $120.00 a year. I am always interested in the different things available at Costco around the world and often wish I could get those here. But I have found that even within the USA there are products that are regional.

    Oh wow, did this vlog bring back memories!! Years ago when I lived in California I had a Costco membership, used mostly for bulk items to stock up on for my event planning/catering business, and found the type of cart you were using was always too small(!). Had to go with that industrial-sized flat-bed thing which takes a bit a maneuvering around the aisles on super-crowded days. Now that I've downsized considerably, living in Arizona and no longer in business, I don't have the need (nor storage space) for oversized/bulk items, thank heavens! Fun to see you slog through the store and hear your comments, though -- now take me back to all those cute little shops/restaurants in Central London, please. Cheers!

    I live in a small apartment in Northern California. Many of my neighbors load up at Costco and I wonder where they put the stuff. Years ago, I used one of the free passes sent to attys in my office and took the bus to our local store. I was amazed that everything came in huge lots. I picked out a 6-pak of tuna and a commemorative box of crayons and got in line. While waiting, I realized that since there were no bags and my purse was small, I would have to carry the items in my hands. Dropped them at the nearest surface and left. Never been back.

Their cakes looked disgusting, I wouldn't touch them. The nicest thing was the Greek salad that you bought which was good value. The roses you picked up were sold at the going rate, again very pretty. I'll stick to supporting my local businesses as I can be sure the produce really is from British farmers not American farmers with a British label stuck on it. I'm not a fan of American corporates and really dislike the corporate creep that goes on in the UK

Yesterday, I was at Costco in Washington DC 😂 Interestingly, the items in the UK are quite similar to those in Washington DC, but there are some things that are not available here. Also, in terms of pricing, let's say the white roose costs about $18; I believe it's around the same price in the UK if you convert the dollar to British Pound. Anyway, you can always find good deals on stuff at Costco. I hope you're having a great Tuesday evening, and I wish you a wonderful rest of the week. See you on Friday! 💐🇬🇧❤🇺🇸💐

    In North American stores they have some odd items. I saw a section with Swiss watches. Some were over $3000. Many people get hooked on the cheap hot dogs or pizza slices. I saw one person buying a large 30 gallon drum of laundry detergent. My neighbor goes all the time. He had to buy two extra chest freezers to keep all the meat and other frozen items. Some things are similar priced to the grocery store chains. However there are many more items that are cheaper. The catch is you have to buy in bulk and have the storage space.

    In the U.S., membership is open to anyone 18 and older. Bulk warehouses were originally for businesses but now anyone who wants to buy in bulk is welcome. As for VAT-exempt, as many Europeans know the U.S. adds taxes at the register, but if you have a tax exemption (such as for a business) you present that certificate at the register and you only pay the price listed on the shelf or product. If you're not tax-exempt you pay the indicated price, plus tax.

    We are retired, just myself and my hubby. My Costco total monthly receipt usually ranges between $500. and $600.00 dollars for the usual food and cleaning staples…..(everybody is talking about how expensive food and cleaning items have gotten here in the USA.)
    I shop their sale prices sometimes doubling up on stuff we use everyday, and try to limit premade food items, usually sticking to unprocessed foods.
    We just had to replace our refrigerator, and Costco had the best prices plus a 2 year warranty….And I love their cash back credit card and membership benefits, like getting something for free….
    For years, with a family of 4 children, our total Costco receipt would run around $300., to $400. dollars monthly….so you can see how much more food prices are today…
    My “go to” items at Costco for quality and best all around prices are: Coffee, cheese, alcohol, paper products when on sale, garden bulbs, and some clothing.

You can buy Costco gift cards and give them to friends and family and they don’t need a membership to shop as long as they have the gift card. Costco also has a very liberal return policy. If you aren’t happy with any purchase, you can return it at any time for a full refund. The same goes for their membership. You can cancel your membership at any time with a full return. And gas prices are always very attractive.
