You forgot the king of fast food - chicken bake on the way home!
But buy your refillable drink on the way in so you can have a bucket of pop on the way round to fuel the purchase of the bathroom cabinet which has LED lights that change colour, plays seasonal tunes and charges your phone which you didn’t intend on buying when you walked in. Then you can refill as you wait for your chicken bake and think about whether there’s even room in the bathroom for the cabinet you just bought as it’s made for a US house bathroom and yours was a broom cupboard. Then you can have one final refill for the car pack up jenga/journey home so you can vibrate in to the house, high on Fanta, ready to explain to whoever you live with how this might might be THE BEST PURCHASE OF YOUR LIFE.
(It doesn’t fit. You return it the next day as it’s so obnoxiously large it doesn’t really fit anywhere in the house and you just want it out. You buy a commiseration refillable drink and leave.)
Seriously though, their returns policy is a joy. Replacement or refund even if it’s been ages. They seem to be the only place to acknowledge something that’s a gazillion quid shouldn’t break within a year of purchase.
Finally something I have specialist knowledge in! I would add to Anna's list: Costco's tooth whitening strips - every bit as good as the Crest ones (although they do leave a little residue, which is easily brushed off); their prosecco is very glugable and perfect for cocktails; trays of cans of chopped tomatoes and organic pasta shapes are amazing value; and you'll have to trust me on this, but the Mushroom Crisps are so delicious. You have to try them!
Anna thank you so much for this! This morning I didn’t really know about Costco and now I’m
A fully signed up Executive Business member (I have a tiny business) with my son as secondary member. He’s over the moon about it! We had a little snoop around the vast one in Croydon and were gobsmacked, needless to say. Will be returning having thoroughly researched what to look at / get. 😊
Love this post! We love the Costco near Heathrow and always stop there after we drop off guests at the airport. My fav is the giant tubs of Molden Salt.
Wait!! Did you know Costco sells some of the most incredible and affordable fine jewelry?! It’s my absolute hack!!
STOP IT 👀

The drink for the way around trick is GENIUS!
