Costco...

My wife and I joined Costco a few months ago. For those of you unfamiliar with Costco, it's basically a big US wholesaler. We got some advertising from them over the weekend, in which they announced a tyre purchase and fitting service - they sell all the big brands at reduced prices. Has anyone here used them before? Good value?

They state they fill the tyres with nitrogen, what are the benefits of that over normal air, and what are you supposed to do if you need to top up? I understand nitrogen is present in air before anyone is a smart arse

Interesting read, thanks. So it all seems to be poppycock then! Oh well

The service is very convenient too

I presume you can just drop the car off while you walk around the store?

You have to be a member to buy stuff tho,if you are lucky you might be able to blag it, but it is 20 squid a year.Some of the food is good value as are the 5 year warantee's on TVs,other than that it isnt so cheap.

Yes it is. We saved £140 on the high street price of a HD video camera and loads on other items. I love Costco
