Why is it, you go there to pick up a few things and you end up spending £110 on what seems sweet fook all - i now have a gallon of tresemme shampoo, an empty tray of Pain Au Chocolat, 4 Kilos of chicken, fairy washing up liquid, 120m of Duct Tape and 60 Velvet loo rolls
Anyone else have this problem with Costco's?

It's the bondage classes i run

p.s - use it for sticking cables/mics around in the studio as well as gaffering people to walls/stairs/chairs....

I've done this, went to an outdoor wholesaler place for a gazebo which was advertised at a tenner, spent 190 quid. Went to Costco for some Coke - 150 quid. Macro for toilet rolls - 160.
Best one I've ever done was Ikea. Went for wine glasses when I first moved in here as a gift off my mate, came back with some wardrobes, a bathroom cabinet, shelves, lamps, towels and loads of random kitchen stuff and a bill for a grand 
I hate those places.

What's a toilet role?
Surely the roles of a toilet are pretty minimal?

If you're anything like me, that shampoo should last a bloody lifetime!
I'm still using one that I bought over a year ago!

hahaha my parents are pretty bad, usually spend £300-400 (food etc) - but the stuff usually last a few months plus you save in the long run
