Costco. Good place to buy bulk booze and mixers?

For my forthcoming nuptials.

I've had a spy take some pics of prices for me of vodka and wine and they seem pretty good.

I'm aware that some things might be a little cheaper in supermarkets if and when they have deals on, but is Costco a good place to buy all of the spirits, soft drinks and maybe the wines? (btw the beer is sorted. I have ale, of sorts, coming out of my ears and I've been donated a load of good lager).

Thoughts please.

Oh and does anyone know if I can get sale or return there?

They also do really nice food, they even do catering for parties etc, all on the platters, quite cheap too.

The meat is really good, have it every summer for the bbq and its bulk so a good price and feeds everyone with spare.

Also the kirkland 1.75L bottle of vodka is very nice and only £35, none of this paint stripper in a bottle.

Costco: Buy BRANDS cheaper but not products.

IE
if you want Vodka - buy tesco own.
If you want Smirnoff - Go to Costco.

+1 to Phil, Party food from their is top notch for quanity and quality.

They accept returns for faults but I dont think they do for excess purchase.

You could also try a proper, local, wine merchant. They can often do supply/return, will cater for your budget, deliver, loan glasses, beer/spritis/mixers, even bar staff for the event. May be right on price and a whole lot of hassle cut out. Worth a try.

Thanks or your replies folks.

I sent an email and Costco do indeed allow returns of alcohol.

I'm off up there tonight for the first time.

I wonder just him much other stuff I will come home with!

make sure you go up every isle and get a big trolley in that case!

Also trust the alcoholic student on the vodka!
