We took a car up to Costco yesterday as we had heard good things about the store. The drive took about 30 minutes, and we got to see some pretty neighborhoods along the way.
Unfortunately we had been putting our Naperville Costco up on a pedestal, and the NW London one just wasn't the same. The layout was the same, except that you go anti-clockwise of course. And since our driver was waiting, we didn't have a chance to linger over the toys or even stand in the crazy long line to get a hot dog. Perhaps we should have not done a wait and return car, although it seemed like a good idea upon booking.
We were hoping for American brands and there were some. We got 3 regular Am. sized Skippy jars, not the tiny UK ones we go through in a matter of days. And we bought some costco rubbish bags that we have used for the past 6 years. But, we didn't see any grape jam, chocolate syrup, Aunt Jemimah syrup, or the few other things we were hoping to find in large quantities. So, given the price and time of taking a car, we probably won't be going back any time soon.
