at present, for you, it is not worthwhile just for tyres, but every few
months costco have a special on michelins, usually 20 per cent off if you
buy four. I have friends that travel about 80 miles to use costco, every
few months they do a big 'shop up' . for me costco is walking distance and
99 per cent of my shopping is there, plus I buy quite a few tyres for my own
and customers cars. if you buy the executive upgrade (extra 30 quid) you
get an annualised rebate of 2 per cent on nearly everything you buy, which
is nice for higher spenders, especially if you buy for other people (as I
do)
A long round trip is not ideal for frozen shopping, but you might still find
it worthwhile for most things !!
