    Whole sale cash and carry

    As director of my Ltd company I got a card to shop at Makro for several years now. They used to be good and cheap (the downside is you always have to buy whole sale size volumes) and the meat used to be excellent as it is meant to be sold in restaurants and hotels and also things like cleaning products much cheaper then when you buy it in regular supermarkets
    Makro or at least the one near me has gone really downhill, choice is limited and even promotions not really cheap anymore. So I'm looking for alternatives. Anyone have any suggestions how is Booker?

    As a Director of your own Ltd company you should be shopping exclusively at Harrods...

          Socialism is inseparably interwoven with totalitarianism and the abject worship of the state.

          No Socialist Government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp, or violently-worded expressions of public discontent.

            Booker swoops to buy up beleaguered Makro
            For some reason I thought this take over never happened.
            So any other alternatives?

                For Costco you have to pay for membership which is ridiculous, besides that there's non near to where I live

                  It's £24 a year - not exactly ridiculous if you do a couple of big shopping trips to it, or buy high value items from them.
                  Nearest one to me is about an hour's drive.
