00:00Come with me on my first trip to Costco.

00:02My mum's got a membership and so we went to the nearest one to Preston in Haydock

00:06which took about half an hour on the M6.

00:09When you get there you can't actually tell that it's the entrance and the industrial park.

00:13I was really surprised to see that they sold petrol and they did tyre installation

00:19but there was one big problem when we got there.

00:21We grabbed our massive trolley and we headed in, queued up to get in,

00:25they looked at my mum's card and whoops, we were too early.

00:29If you've got an individual membership, 11 o'clock,

00:32so we had to come here to a nearby garden centre to while away 45 minutes.

00:39These entrance rules just quite amused me on the way in.

00:44Now I didn't get any footage from inside the warehouse because believe it or not,

00:48contrary to what you see on social media and TikTok,

00:51you have to seek permission to film inside and I didn't.

00:55So I'll tell you what it's like.

00:56It is a big warehouse, a big grey massive warehouse.

01:00It smells like one of those foreign supermarkets when you walk in.

01:04There's absolutely tons of everything.

01:06There's food, there's lawnmowers, there's bouncy castles, there's clothes.

01:11You've got to remember as well though that VAT is added on to the price,

01:14the big price on the ticket that you see

01:17and consider whether you actually need all the bulk buy things.

01:20Do you need 50 tins of baked beans for instance?

01:24Some of the things were great value.

01:26Some of the other things I've seen in B&M for instance, cheaper.

01:29So you've just got to be careful about you don't get carried away by the experience of going.
