toilet rolls. i has lots! 48 rolls to be precise £15.96 in costco.
usually costs us £4 for 9 rolls in supermarkets so we are saving about 6 quid on those
36 microfibre towels for £12.91, they usually cost me about a quid each from elite car care. 36p each this way

Best way to shop for house stuff IMHO
I wait for Charmin (or what ever its called this month) to be on offer at Makro then I'm off! last time It was 36roll packs buy one get one free @ £7.50 each. Recently stocked up on ARO kitchen towels, I think it was about £5 odd for a 24 roll pack.

costco membership cost me £25+ VAT. got 2 cards for that price (one for me and one for my mrs).
noshua - i'm a ford employee so got a card because of that. not sure if people who aren't in that line of work can get them, don't see why not?
ian - the tissue is 3 ply i use 1 ply at work and i get major ring sting after wiping so i've learned my lesson

I've got a Costco membership. I paid £45 and that got me three cards. You have to have a certain profession to have a membership. As a solicitor I qualify for one. I love Costco I always spend a fortune in there.

The bottled water at £3.79 odd are a good buy too as you get about 30 small bottles.
