pie-eater 207 Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 OK that's it. I'll plonk down the 4000 yen and do it I think, sometime in September. Link to post Share on other sites
Go Native 70 Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 It being an American company they mainly stock American goods. They definitely have a good range of chesses though. Link to post Share on other sites
pie-eater 207 Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Well, the Costo in Haydock in north west England stocks lots of UK goods. (And no doubt American goods too, though thinking about it I recognise most things I see in there - it doesn't feel like I'm walking around 'an American shop'). But that is the only Costo I have ever been to. Good that they have a good range of chesses though. Link to post Share on other sites
Go Native 70 Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 I'm only going on the Sapporo one. Not sure what they're like down south. Link to post Share on other sites
NoFakie 45 Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Not big on UK cheese but they do big blocks of various standardish cheeses. Maybe a mature US cheddar among them. Some smaller, good European cheeses at "not take the piss" prices too. Have a gnaw on a bulgogi bake on the way out. Link to post Share on other sites

Thundercat 60 Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 My wife brought back a small suitcase full of chocolate. Too much in fact! Since we started going to Costco there is a lot less that I want to bring back with me. This time I only got: Maple syrup Hollandaise sauce mix Montreal smoke meat spice rub Ice wine Clothes that actually fit 2.5kg of fat in my belly (the clothes don't fit too well anymore!!)

oblivion 5 Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Is Costco cheap? a bit or a lot? Link to post Share on other sites
pie-eater 207 Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Ice wine sounds interesting. 'Clothes that actually fit'. Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 It would be interesting to know how much weight people put on after their hometown binge-fests. I never weigh myself - too scared - so it's all guesswork and feeling. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 I put on 6kgs!! Link to post Share on other sites
pie-eater 207 Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 I may well also have. I dread to stand on the scales. Actually I haven't got any, so I'd have to buy some. I don't think I will! Link to post Share on other sites

DumbStick 13 Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 I bring things back like sauces and other stuff that lasts a long time. Enough of the snacking, need to lose a few. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 After 1st week on the diet/exercise again, Ive shifted a kg of that extra weight.....woohoo! Link to post Share on other sites
Hokkaidough 4 Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Don't go looking on ebay for boxes of Walkers Crisps or McCoys... you may regret it!! (Once you shift through some of the crazy postage costs.. found one for 5.99). Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Haha! I have enough problems avoiding the Kettle Chips and ASDA chocolate at my local SEIYU Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 I've also decided to not drink beer/alcohol during the week.....this is only my 2nd day of that so we'll see how long that lasts ???? Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 But Tubby, beer is good for you! Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 5.99 shipping for a box of crisps. That's worth looking into, you bastard! Link to post Share on other sites
BagOfCrisps 24 Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 I wonder how much the actual cost of sending a box over would be. Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Well it can't be more than 5.99 can it if someone on ebay is offering that? Link to post Share on other sites
Thundercat 60 Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Yea! Lost the extra Canada weight but still have a ton of chocolate. I need to start distributing some of this omiyage that I bought. Hopefully my coworkers like Canadian chocolate! Link to post Share on other sites
pie-eater 207 Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 I have lost a bit I think, from my face especially. Doing really well actually, and really cutting down. Want to get rid of about 5kg. Link to post Share on other sites
