Hi Everyone!
Well, our little family has been having a great time travelling around Scotland with friends. Of course, when I found out that my airport hotel in London was only 7 minutes away from a Costco, I had to visit!!! There was a huge difference in the products that were offered in the store so I took some pictures for you all. I also had to check out the Costcos in Scotland – where I would find black pudding and Haggis Pakoras. A couple of interesting facts I learned here:
If you want to have great Indian food you have to go to Glasgow
IRN-BRU outsells Coke and Pepsi and is the number one selling soft drink in Scotland
Smarties in the UK have different flavours.
All in all we have been having a great trip, it only took 2 days for the little one to get used to the time change, but it was a long two days. The other day we drove up to Loch Ness and the little one could have spent hours throwing rocks into the lake. 🙂
I’m still traveling so my brother will be doing the post again this week. I’ll see you all back after the long weeeknd in September! Enjoy the rest of the summer everyone!
Guinness beer imported from Nigeria to Scotland? What’s wrong here?
prefer the regular post
Wow, it never occurred to me that I might be jealous of a Scottish Costco!
Your best post ever.
And watch out for that Loch Ness Monster. He’ll get you every time.
Hope we get some of these in Canada when the European free trade agreement goes into effect.
SIGHHHHH…. only if Canada sold alcohol in Costco…. daydreaming….
In Alberta their liquor store is in a separate building just beside the Costco store. They have great Kirkland brand liquor (40 oz) and of course other brands of liquor and wine. Not all Costco’s in Alberta have liquor stores though.
I know a lot of people who are very dissatisfied with Costco Canada in terms of selection and variety. It’s only when you visit Costco in other countries you begin to realize how we’re getting the short end of things.
Thank you! That was fun looking through all the different products.
Pampers AND Huggies!?!?
Wish our Costco would do that!
Would be cool to have one aisle dedicated to imports – rotate in stuff from around the world
Loved this. I love to watch Coronation street and now have a better understanding of their food. They sure love their biscuits. Have a great Vacation and thanks for sharing.
Thank you for taking the time to share this experience awesome post.
wonderful post!! so many intriguing items! did you get anything??
Great selection of products – really interesting. Thanks for posting. Did you end up buying a Costco souvenir? ☺
I wish I could buy my daughter’s pampers for that price!
Thanks. That was a treat being a tourist in a Scottish Costco.
Love this… have a great holiday!
that was so fun reading all that they now sell there, brings back memories
Thanks,
Great post!
Did you get pictures from the “vitamin” aisle?
Steak and ale pie! Rowntrees fruit pastilles by the box oh my! The costco on the other side of the pond have it good…with all that beer and ale no less! Love the variety of items…thanks for sharing 🙂
Love there alcohol selections . They even sell a mini keg?!?!? Wish they could sell that at our Costco. It’s really nice to see what other Costco sell in other places. Thanks for the pictures.
Jacket potatoes, witb tuna, yummm.
Thanks for sharing
Oh my gosh what an incredible experience!
Hi,
Your little one is so cute. So many things which our Vancouver Costco do not carry, London
Costco are way cheaper than Vancouver. Thank you so much at least I see what London Costco carry. Have a good trip in London
Prices shown are in British pounds. Times everything by 1.6 to get price inCanadian dollars.
Most Canadians are very illiterate when it comes to currency. Many believe the Bank of Canada rate is in fact the consumer exchange rate.
Thanks for taking the time to take pictures while vacationing! It’s neat to see what Scotland’s Costco had! Enjoy the rest of your time there!
Wow! So cool to see food from other countries! Thanks for sharing!!
Thanks for sharing. Love the Bachelor super noodles and the Haggis pakora lol.
Enjoy your trip!
Soreen Malt loaf and McVities Hob Nob biscuits….hhhmmmmmm. Jaffa cakes. So many things I’d forgotten about that taste really awesome. Now, if they do large catering packs of Branston pickle I’m heading back there to get some.
Heading over there in the spring anyway so I’ll have to see if there is a Costco nearby.
Thanks for sharing. Very interesting!!!
I want one box of every biscuit and one of every pie! So interesting…
Awesome. My favourite thing to do when in other countries, check out Costco! Thanks for sharing, love it!
Thanks for that..being a Brit. I really enjoyed looking at all the products and their pricing.
Wish we had some of those here,espeacilly the Jaffa cakes..yum!
Jaffa cakes are available at Amazon 🙂
Or if you live in Metro Vancouver, Bulk Barn carries them, as well as British stores in Vancouver, Surrey and Richmond (moving to Langley soon).
Can you get in with an Canadian Costco membership card?
You sure can! Your Costconmembership is valid at any Costco Worldwide. Although, you will need to pay with AMerican Express, Cash or Debit Card over here in the UK
How inconsistent it is on the credit card they chose. Is it because the common wealth prefers Amex over mastercard and visa?
