    I don't see this as a bargain. They have coupons every month or so.
    I think you should specify which item is actaully a bargain.

    • tinx on 20/01/2013 - 16:46

      Every month or so? Do they deliver it to ur email/ home?
      I never receive any coupon since i joined

      • some_one_some_where on 20/01/2013 - 16:57

        It comes through email, but they do not have specials every month or so. Having said that it will be good if they had coupons more often.

    The prices of the grocery goods don't seem that cheap. At least not worth the drive to a Costco.

    • Skinnerr on 21/01/2013 - 00:16

      Hmm a 100ml bottle of nandos sauce from coles costs about $3.30 ish so x by 10 = $33 for a litre of suace from coles, or $7.99 from costco. That seems pretty cheap to me.

    • ItsMeAgro on 21/01/2013 - 10:33

      Plenty of advertised deals make the front page? Now if you had said announcing a catalogue is not a deal………

  • KBZ on 20/01/2013 - 16:43

    Only thing that's worth it (looking at the catalogue) is Biozet and maybe the Shortcut bacon.
    Even Quantum is cheaper on GroceryRun including shipping.

    • A3Australia on 20/01/2013 - 17:16

      Only thing that's worth it (looking at the catalogue) is Biozet

      Ahhh.. No, not really. It works out to $4.29 per kilo (not $4.27 as they claim). By memory it was on sale at Coles and Woolies (now and in the past week) for $5 a kilo (1k pack) and $4.50 a kilo (2k pack). Hardly worth a long trip (unless you are nearby a Cosco).

      • berger on 20/01/2013 - 17:25

        So your sums have worked out that it's cheaper? People who live far away won't bother, but for nearby & regular shoppers it's good value.

          I am going to say that my sums make it $4.28 per kilo - that extra cent is very important! And I mean that vigorously!

          So your sums have worked out that it's cheaper?

          That is correct - 21 cents cheaper per kilo.

          I was replying to kangaberries, who said "Only thing that's worth it…. is Biozet".

          So, a 21 cent saving is hardly worth a long trip (unless you are nearby a Cosco). And not many are living really close to Sydney's Costco, but as you say for "regular shoppers" that are going there anyway "it's good value".

    The OralB replacement brush heads at 2.80 each sounds good to me.

    • deal88 on 20/01/2013 - 20:05
      +2

      That is a massive bargain. Usually over $5 per brush head at Woolies or Shaver Shop. AND these would not be the fakes found on eBay.

      • empty456 on 20/01/2013 - 20:36

        Yeah it is a bargain. Although, I've seen that Chemist Warehouse has them for about $19 for 4+2 (so a little over 3.15 each). All precision clean regular brush heads though, whereas the Costco deal seems to have 8 regular + 2 floss (?) brushes.

        Costco had the same deal the last time they sent out coupons.

        • deal88 on 20/01/2013 - 22:38

          Are you talking about the Chemist Warehouse $19.99 deal? This would be $3.33ea. Good price but a lot cheaper with the linked Costco deal. Interestingly, Chemist Warehouse has the floss head 2 pack for $19.39, so it looks like these are a better head than the regular ones.

        • empty456 on 21/01/2013 - 09:47

          Yeah, they have it for 18.99 now ($1 off). The floss heads are a bit stronger and weirder than the regular brush heads (suction-cup thing in the middle). They are more expensive, but imo they aren't really a substitute for flossing.

  • miumiusan on 20/01/2013 - 17:42

    While I am not going to vote it down and am actually interested to see what Costco has to offer (this is the closest I'll get, being in Perth) since there are no actual 'deals' specified I think it should be in the forums.
    edit actually, after looking through the items there are precious few deals in the catalogue anyway and even those aren't a huge saving.

  • Belgarath on 20/01/2013 - 18:27

    No prices on big ticket items? While Costco is known to be cheaper than a lot of other retailers, discounted big ticket items with no intial price, detsroys it for me.

    • IMBI3 on 20/01/2013 - 19:06

      Agree. Would be very annoying to turn up to costco and find the items more expensive than other retailers

    • AlexF on 20/01/2013 - 19:18

      The onus is on the OP to highlight the bargain, not just link to advertisement.

      • deal88 on 20/01/2013 - 19:31

        The link has them pretty clearly mentioned. For Costco, I don't have an issue with this post. I wouldn't neg as all the information is there for anyone who is interested.

    • deal88 on 20/01/2013 - 19:38
      +1

      Costco don't advertise the price of their big ticket items, not sure if this is an agreement with the supplies or not. That is why I have found the Loaded Trolley blog so useful. They did do TVs a while back… http://loadedtrolley.com.au/list-of-televisions-for-sale-at-…

      The 40" Sony is mentioned at $629.99, at $100 off it would be $529.99. Cheapest on Shopbot was around the $620 mark, so looks like it could be a good deal.

      If we waited until tomorrow for the OP or someone else to confirm exact prices, it is possible that we would miss the deal.

      Don't rush to Costco though, I want a 40" Sony before they are OzBargained.

      • stonedewok on 21/01/2013 - 11:23

        I'm pretty keen on picking up a 40" Sony myself…
        But I remember reading somewhere that it might be worth waiting till March when new models are released and older models get discounted…is this true?

        $530 sounds like a decent buy, but I'm happy to wait another month or so.

    • deal88 on 20/01/2013 - 19:38

    Regardless of the coupons I have saved everytime I go to Costco. There is always something that you need which is cheaper than elsewhere. So if you are not a member the deal is not for you. Don't bother looking at it. Its like the HDD drive available only in WA! Only people in WA can get it good luck to them! Why complain?

      But the deals where there, just in the link. More polite to ask for them to be added than neg. Mod has now outlined the actual deals. Neg should be used if there is not a bargain, or a dodgy supplier.

      Give people a chance to fix their post first or people (especially newbies) will just stop posting deals.

      If you see a good deal, you can pay your $60. Get the deal, then ask for 100% of your member fee back ( anytime during the 12 months). Costco is only good if you know your prices. Any true OzBargainer will know what things at Costco are worth buying.

      How is location(only an issue for you) a valid reason.

      Date of birth is nothing to worry about too much? Is it? What's the issue. They sell alcohol there,mdont want minors buying it?

      Wow, an avalanche of negs - you'd think i was talking about your mother.

      @berger says:

      Date of birth is nothing to worry about too much?

      If you don't understand the problem with this, then i probably can't help you as it's rather bleeding obvious.

      I'll add another reason:

      Fourthly, not all their prices are shown, especially for the higher prices items, just the discount. Why not? What are they afraid of? They're not for transparency?

      There's strong competition in Oz between main players - esp over the last few years. Nothing to see here.

      • berger on 20/01/2013 - 21:32
        +1

        But do the main players have better pricing than Costco? Before casting judgment on a company like this, why don't you go into a store and have a look, you are allowed to browse for free, during the week. Never know, might like it.

          But do the main players have better pricing than Costco?

          I could well say "But does Costco have better pricing than the main players?". It's far from clear from the post.

          My First & Fourth reasons are more than enough to justify a neg under the OB guidelines. The Second is a joke Joyce. The Third is an irritation.

          I do know that when Coles/WOW advertise an item, they show the final price. They don't ask for my DOB at the checkout. They don't ask me to pay a fee before i try to buy my first loaf of bread.

          No, i'm not a fan of the Costco format.

          No, i don't understand why the OP spends so much time with his loadedtrolley website.

          BTW, this was quite revealing:

          Before casting judgment on a company like this…

          I was actually 'casting judgment' on the bargain-value of a post, not the company.

          Why am I defensive? One reason is I have nothing better to do, the other is I like shopping there, I am an avid bargain hunter, and like to save money where I can, i spent my $60 membership there, and I'm still ahead. I still shop everywhere else and there are times, quite often it can be cheaper at Coles/wow. Overall I'm about saving money and finding a bargain.

          I'm just saying give it a go one day, you may be surprised.

    My neg to the deal has been revoked.

    Seems this has come about because of the number of negs to my initial comment.

    It's all covered here:

    Currently, (individual) negative votes are not actively being removed by moderators. Moderators are tending to let the community revoke a negative vote. By voting negative for the first comment by the negative voter, you are contributing to revoking that vote. Once the threshold of negative votes has been reached for the comment, the vote is revoked.

    I for one didn't know about this…

    No, i don't know what the threshold is. I asked the mods & was told "The threshold is a significant amount of negative votes", which obviously means it's not disclosed.

    I still don't see it as a deal, esp given the joining fee & the opaque pricing. Though with 38 positive votes at time of writing, i'm clearly in the minority.

          people are entitled to thier opinion? no way!?:o I am starting to suspect you dont know what the upvote and downvote buttons are for….

          That isnt a compliment either :)

        What is the point of negative votes in the first place, if they can be revoked by the community?

        Actually i'm not too sure i'm worried about this, given negs can have longer term implications. I'm not too happy that the threshold is not disclosed, but i can think of some good reasons to justify that as well.

        The thing is it took me a moment to work out what had happened as the revocation was automated and there was no formal advice of the revocation or reasons. Also, at about the same time my first comment was being hit by exploding heads, someone must have complained about my inappropriate profile (esp the URL). Me? Inappropriate? Never!

      Darn it, my finger scrolling down the side of my S3 did it again. Apologies CVonV, that was an unintentional neg. Mods, please revoke.

        You can revoke your own votes on comments within an hour, just click on 'votes' under the comment and you'll see how to do it.

    The only valid complaint with Costco is that sometimes the stock is not very good.

    For example many categories of items have like 2 or 3 choices and that's it.

    • nexus4 on 22/01/2013 - 10:09

      That's the whole point of Costco. Instead of having 40 types of baked beans at an average-high price, sell one or two types in bulk at a discount.

        It's also the same thing Aldi do. Keep the choices simple. High turnover

    Was looking at a tv at JB and they wouldnt price match Costco as there reason was that its a membership based format.

    • deal88 on 21/01/2013 - 07:25

      I have had Masters price match based on a photo I took at Costco before.

    The V energy drink case is nowhere near a bargain for this large a quantity at $1.55 per can. Coles Express had this on special last week for $5 per 4 pack ($1.25 per can).

    Holy smoke. I just worked out how much of my time this took up, and it's not even a deal I'm interested in. I'm about to change my password to something forgettable, just to deal with the addiction. Should be back in a couple of months or so, after detox. To all my homies: until then, farewell.

    Well worth shopping at Costco from time to time. Just avoid any products from the US that use corn syrup which are made from Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO) corn. They're banned from Europe cause of the results from test causing cancer. I know some Hershey products as well as soft drinks contain them

    Coupons for January… umm its the barking 21st of JANUARY!

  • spy on 21/01/2013 - 19:32

    How much is the dual oral b 3000? Its Lalso eligible for $30 cash back.

    • timb42 on 21/01/2013 - 22:24

      Regular price is $146.99, less the $35 coupon makes it $111.99. Plus there's the $30 cash back if you buy before 31 Jan.

      The cheapest prices I could find elsewhere (online) were $140 for the single, or $160 for the double (from eBay). So the Costco price is very good - a $48 saving, or $28 if you only needed the single handle.
