We just buy meat and drinks from there,
The chicken is good value, if you think from asda you get 8 mini chicken fillets for 6quid at Costco you get 44 mini fillets for 12 quid, mince is usually pretty good too, we love the place, but you can spend well into hundreds without realising so make sure you keep a running total, our first trip we didn't get a lot and we spent about 200 quid, we got carried away

They have £3 off mince atm, so makes it about £12 for 2.5kg of decent mince, no asda smart price stuff.
TV's aren't normally the cheapest anymore, my TV for instance was about 400-500 quid more in there.
Warranty is still good, they are clamping down slightly on people taking stuff back in 5 years later for a refund, if it's within a year though they take it back no bother, TV's they still normally take back anyway.
Beer, as said isn't very good, Makers Mark and JD are though + Grey Goose and a few other spirits.
They've always got Graghoppers gear in.
Good for books too.

I think their mince isnt very good, quite a lot of fat through it sometimes. However, their chicken breasts are big and their stakes are also good value for money.
As for just joining, I dont think you can just walk in and join?

Sounds like Makro to me.
I used to go there when I was little and make my parents buy me a NES or SNES game.
Everyone had Jaguar bags at school because Makro sold them so cheap.

It was probably rubbish back then, but the NES, SNES, Dime Bars, Marmite flavoured crisps, etc. tricked me.
