VERDICT

Should I use Costco UK membership?

Join the club & start saving! - costco.co.uk

Depends. Join if you buy in bulk for a family or small business and live near a warehouse; skip it if you shop small or occasionally, since the membership fee comes before any savings. Evidence is thin — mostly official pages and no independent reviews — so verify current fees on site.
