With crippling inflation making the cost of everything including our food shop go up, most households are considering shopping around the supermarkets to find the best deals.
And while you may be familiar with the big UK names like Tesco , Asda , Sainsbury’s and Aldi , there are some places you may not have thought to try before. One such store is Costco — the third-largest retailer in the world. Although the chain is perhaps most commonly associated with the US, it does still have multiple stores across the UK, including ones in Cardiff and Chester.
Emma Gill, a reporter for our sister title the Manchester Evening News, decided to head to her nearest Costco to buy some staples of a typical weekly food shop to compare it with UK favourite Tesco. And while you may have to travel a bit further to get to Costco than Tesco depending on where you live — there’s just one Costco store in the North East located in Gateshead — it may be worth it for the savings.
