Which Costco has SB stuff ?

[welshscrapqueen]

Went to Reading on Sunday and managed to get to the 567 sets but they had no idea about Albums.. have never managed to track down the paper in any costco.
I can get to quite a few different ones .. so which ones have
1)albums
2) Heidi Swapp stuff
3) patterned paper
4)anything else of interest

[Michelles]

the watford one has the albums ,but sold out of paper ages ago.

[Kraft Stop]

Anyone know what Liverpools got?

[chocolatetiger]

I go to Costco at Haydock (not the one at the docks) and they had paper but sold out ages ago (don't know if it's been restocked) and also had a bumper pack of alphabet/shape punches. haven't seen the embellishment sets as I haven't been for a couple of weeks but they often have various craft/scrap sets.

PS. I used to live in Maghull - small world!

[Natbag]

Leeds Costco had the Heidi Swapp set last Friday.
Not sure about the paper or albums, although i have picked up both of these there before so I would think that they would have them still :)

[Manatee]

The Bristol one had albums, scissors and alphabet punches last weekend but never seem paper or embellies!

[debly]

Watford has the heidi swapp sets, albums, scissor sets, cutting sets, sharpie pens

[lisaw]

I got the Heidi Swapp set in Reading costco today - it's fab :D

[tquarter]

Ooooo oooo oooo - what am I missing?? What is the Heidi Swapp set??

[tquarter]

Found it in the other thread - how delicious is that!!!

[sarahm]

I just got back from Haydock and they had a large quantity of the HS kits and Alphabet punchie set. Nothing else. no papers nor albums.:mellow:

[cathk]

Gateshead had the paper ages ago, had the embellies but I couldn't find the albums...
if anybody saw them please tell me where they were!

[mermaid]

Lakeside had Heidi Swapp and the albums on sunday but only a few of each left. The albums were only in the bright B) colours - yellow and orange. the paper went AGES ago, as did the punches. Looking forward to visiting the USA one though - have you seen the goodies in the other thread :wub: :wub: ?

[jani d]

The thing is with Costco i have found that they get something and when it goes it goes. SOme times they may get it back that time next year. So if you see something get it cos it probably wont be there next time (actually i think its only scrappin stuff which takes it time selling). It's only recently they have started selling scrap stuff and its only one or two things. But the other stuff is fab too.

Oh and no albums in at Liverpool yet :(

[mandychap]

They have loads in birmingham, embellishment pack, punches and different coloured albums. I wasnt tempted as I still have loads of stash never opened

[Breton Girl]

Just got this months payslip with an invitation to the Costco in Bristol for a preview evening. Has anyone been to the bristol one? Is it worth a visit??

[Nicci24lego]

Tuesday eve, MK had the HS set, the scissors set and the bright albums (although the albums were not near the stationery stuff, but in the far left corner, past all the sweets, for some reason...) - plenty of each... but no punches or paper... HTH

[chocolatetiger]

Oh wow, where are you in Lancashire now?

Lynn - I live in Preston now. My mum still lives in Maghull so if I can get organised and con her into baby sitting I might even make it to one of your crops! :D

Helen

[Cassie7]

MK has large box of sandylion stickers mickey mouse and pincess and mavel heros £8 pound something inc vat plus other stuff mentioned not punches

[welshscrapqueen]

Does MK have the photo storage boxes mentioned in the other thread ?
Trouble is - if you dont see it , they dont ever know what youre talking about when you go and ask.

[Wendy Jane]

LAKESIDE- West Thurrock, has lotsof the kits they must have had a delivery, also had the albums. Went in for a new washing line thingy and spent the money on scrapbook stuff.
Also their digital printing is only 3p for each 4x6 print, when ordering more than 200. I took my disc in today at about 4.30pm which had approx 450 photos on and it cost under £18 I expected to pay over £40 so I was well pleased, and the chap couldn't manage it in an hour (which is understandable) but I popped back just before they closed at 8.30pm and they were ready. Didn't realise just how many photo 450 where (if that makes sense) I had about 6 thick packets !! They are my USA trip photos which we have just returned from, and as I am going away this weekend for a girly cropping weekend I just needed them printed out, might manage a page or two if I'm lucky !!!!!!.

[pange]

i got the embelleshments at reading sunday and they did have albums over on the book section boxed sets i think it was pooe or disney not sure but very nice quality pange

[amcmen]

I was there Sunday too Angela - in the morning. The albums were photo ones rather than scrapping ones I think, and the stickers seemed a bit pricey for what they were - or could be I'm cheap skate :lol:

[leigh11]

I have just come from the Reading branch---and after lots of searching on their computer system, they've told me they are getting the albums in 'around' the 17th!!!!!
They had loads of the Heidi Swapp and also lots of disney sticker packs (didn't notice the price).

[Bluemoonjules]

Thanks for the update on Reading, folks!

Anna - if you are ever in there and find the plain albums.....

I know you live in Costco ;) (she does, honest!!!!)

[daisyday]

Costco Lakeside (essex) had the Heidi Swap pack and albums but no papers.......

[marham]

I got albums (great buy £11.03 inc vat) for 2 bonded leather 12 x12's and a great set of craft sissors. 20 pairs of craft edging sissors for £16 !!! in Glasgow Costco this weekend. They had the Heidi embellishment set, but I didn't like it much:(

[Bellydancer]

Leeds costco:

Heidi Swapp scrapbooking set
Deckle edge scissors
Cutting set with scissors and handheld rotary cutter
12x12 scrapbooks (leather)
Scissors set (3 pairs)
Paint brushes with paint (maybe more kids)
Guillotene (?) with spare blades including a fancy blade and space to store things

In the past they have had mini punchesetc.

[kittenglitter]

Anyone know about Machester, Trafford or Ashton, not fussed which?

[Scrappin HelsF]

Costco, Costkea Way, Edinburgh (near Loanhead)

Sell the Heidi Swapp embellishments - something that's not "my cup of tea".

The hand held rotary trimmer with self healing cutting mat and bits and pieces including spare blade and scissors (I think).

I bought the 12" rotary paper trimmer with fancy blades for £20.00 - fab!! Has a storage tray for bits and pieces and to store extra blades.

Probably other stuff too but I wasn't looking for them!

Hels

[leigh11]

The albums are in Reading today!!

Got 3 sets of two, so lots of scrapping to do!!!

[Cassie7]

The albums in ours have gone down in price by just over a pound very few left

[meggie]

Anyone know about Machester, Trafford or Ashton, not fussed which?

I was in the Manchester Costco on Wed ( think it must be the Ashton one as I was on my way to Manchester from Huddersfield)

They had the Heidi Swapp kit, the Disney stickers, the scissors for different edgings, a craft tool set(craft knife and I can't remember what else)

[RED HEAD]

sheffield costco has scissors.... heidi swapp embellies... and packs of albums

[marham]

albums in Glasgow Costco reduced today. Pack of 2 twelve by twelve for £10.99 inc vat! I got a pack in pink!! Got ivory and yellow last week!! I'm going to be busy. lol

[Heggy]

Finally had the 12x12 albums in Darby Costco today. Only brown or black but at that price I brought 1 of each pack. Better get my scrapping mojo back now!!!!

Heather

[GeordieGirl]

The metro centre costco has the albums in now, they only had black, tan and like a reddish brown one. I've bought quite a few packs but would still like some of the coloured ones. They are down one of the side aisles.

[cathk]

oh i was only there on saturday and didn't see them aaargh. another trip on methinks!

[Bluemoonjules]

The albums are in Reading today!!

Got some today - £8.99 plus VAT, and the Heidi Swapp set.

[donna russell]

heggy,
does the derby have the heidi swapp goodies,or did they just have the albums

thanks, donna

[Heggy]

I only saw the albums, but I had my elderly mother with me so I didn't explore to much, she has poor mobility so I don't like to make her walk to far & that store is huge.

Heather

[Clay 36]

Was at Costco just outside Edinburgh last Friday and they had LOADS of Heidi Swapp and they had 12x12 albums and the revolving wooden scissor holders with all the different cutting edges.

[Natbag]

What colour 12x12 albums is everyone finding? I've been hearing about bright/pastel colours but Leeds only has dark burgandy and browns, which I didn't think looked too nice :(

[Bluemoonjules]

Ours just had the dark coloured ones. I don't mind, to be honest, most of mine are plain and dark! For just over a fiver each, though, it is a fabulous bargain!

[debly]

The Watford Costco had the albums in orange, green, pink, denim blue, cream, red, lilac.

Ah these are the ones I'm after!
I don't suppose if anyone is heading that way soon they would pick me a couple up if I pay in advance, plus p+p and maybe even a little goody bag? Feel so cheeky for asking but I'd so love an orange and green one! :)

[Bluemoonjules]

I'll keep looking in Reading for the pretty coloured ones - if anyone spots them in there, could you PM me?

I probably wont get a chance to go until next Sunday but I will let you know If im going and if they have the albums Im happy to get you some and send them on :)

[Natbag]

Oh thanks Deb, that would be fab if you get chance :) :wub:

[leigh11]

Me too! I only got the burgundy, navy and cream ones! They also had the tan ones, but wasn't keen on them!!!!

[welshscrapqueen]

Reading said last week that they were getting more in this week I think - they had all colours. Give them a ring and ask.

[donna russell]

just been to sheffield store. they still have heidi swapp, scissors and loads of the bright albums (orange,yelow,lilac, deep pink cream,sage green, pale blue plus some others). got myself the yellow, lilac & sage green packs as don't know when i'll be back and couldn't see any in the derby store. they're great value
just broken into the heidi swapp kit and i'm in heaven.

[Bluemoonjules]

Reading said last week that they were getting more in this week I think - they had all colours. Give them a ring and ask.

They didn't have anything other than the dark ones, black, tan, burgundy, dark green when I went in this week, no navy, no cream. I went round every aisle twice!

Those Heidi Swapp packs are horrendously packaged though - really difficult to get at!

[Clay 36]

They are, aren't they! But well worth it when you do!:) Am hoping Edinburgh get more albums in - quite fancy some of the colours mentioned earlier. We only had the "mustard" and green ones (which I bought). I think I'll go and give them a wee phone. The other thing they did have for all the Disney lovers out there - huge Sandylion box of stickers with around 1,000 stickers in it!

[Natbag]

I'm still after those lovely albums in the bright colours, can I be cheeky and hope that someone could get me some, having pre-paid the cash and p+p of course :mellow: :)

[lesleymark]

Hi,
Can anyone tell me what's in the Heidi Swapp set?

[Natbag]

Loads of stuff Lesley, 567 items to be precise! Including a 6x6 album, chipboard letters and shapes, ghost letters and shapes, sticky ribbon, photo corners, title plates, clear tags, erm, and loads more. Definitely worth the £21 :)

[Clay 36]

I agree it's WELL worth the money. The wee album has top loading pages with page protectors - fab!

[Nostaw]

Ummm... after reading this thread, it looks like it is definitely worth joining Costco... can anyone tell me how much membership is?

Claire :)

[Clay 36]

Claire, they've got some restrictions on who joins as well. You or your partner/husband would need to work for: NHS, local govt, civil service, be a lawyer ... If you give them a call they'd give you the full list. For 2 people living in the same house it's under £30 inc VAT but not by much. Hope that helps.

Anyone checked out the stationery section in their local ASDA yet? They have loads of peel offs, card making goodies, toppers, lovely sets of wee stamps (clear ones) and wee acrylic blocks to put them on for about £4. Wouldn't use the daubers with them - nothing to say they're acid free but could be used for cards.

[Bluemoonjules]

I went on my BIL's business membership, which with VAT was £14 and change up to when they renew. I could have been an individual member as an NHS employee.

Claire, if you want to come with me or Anna sometime, I am sure it can be arranged. PM me.

[Chris F]

Hi - does anyone know if the Gateshead store has the albums in? And if so where they are located in the store. Thinking of having a trip there soon.

Thanks a lot

[lezzer]

Costco Lakeside has had all the SB stuff in:- paper packs, fancy scissors, albums,Heidi Swapp, big sets of paper punches, alphabet and pictures. The last one was the HS, and time before was the albums.I agree about battle scars trying to get into wrapping. Bought it just before hols B) and hid from hubby, then on return stayed up late, and tried to open quietly..... I think the neighbours must have heard and am covered in nicks to boot: but on the plus side lovely bits well worth the money.:D

[Sarah Jermyn]

V disappointed!!!!

Went to all the effort of joining at Reading yesterday, fought my way through the footie traffic (forgot about that!) only to find NO scrapbook stuff there, apart from tacky edge scissors. Quite sad when I came out!

If anyone finds the Heidi Swapp set, please, please, please could they get me one. I will pay postage etc. Or is there another store within easy distance of me in Didcot, Oxfordshire?

Thanks and sorry for the moan, really thought I was on to something!

Reading had loads of Heidi Swapp and albums last week - are you sure you were looking in the right place?

[grannyscrap]

Sorry you were disappointed, but I'm sure you must have been looking in the wrong place. I was there, too, yesterday, and bought 2 album packs and there were loads left as was the Hiedi Swapp packs (which I got last month). I was disappointed they didn't have any pastel album but aren't they just FAB.

[Sarah Jermyn]

I looked all over and even asked someone who looked at me as if I were mad!!

I basically went up and down each aisle and spent ages in the office bit which is where the assistant told me they would be.

Where abouts is it all then, I may be able to go back one evening.

Sarah

[isithebe]

I'll will be going to the one in St Helens tomorrow, will check for you

Nina

[Inky Angel]

Went to Liverpool this morning and they've got loads of albums in (tan, choc brown or dark green), HS kits, fancy scissors, plain scissor sets and trimmer sets

[grannyscrap]

Sarah

The albums were in the office bit, under 1 on the shelves. I nearly missed them but they are there. The HS stuff was on another aisle near the clothes. Hope you find them if you go again. If you really can't find them, hi-jack an assistant and insist they show you where they are.

[Sarah Jermyn]

Thanks luvvies

I'm planning to go after work tommorow, hope I will have more luck this time!

Sarah

[Bluemoonjules]

I am sure you must have walked right past them. I bought 4 albums in total - would have had more if they had the pastel ones as well.

The albums are stacked in boxes, so it is quite easy to miss them, and the HS stuff is packed in flat plastic moulded wrapping and then stacked in display boxes - very unremarkable looking! The other thing is they keep moving them around!

I hope you get sorted, Sarah. I am still umming and ahhing over the decorative edge scissor set, so I might see you there tomorrow.

[Sarah Jermyn]

Thanks for all the replies, am going to take my hubby as well, he's better as hunting for stuff than I am, my attention span obviously isn't long enough!!!

Keep a look out for me, I'll be the one looking aimlessly around!!!

Sarah:)

[helsbells]

The one at trafford park, manchester had loads of the HS kit this morning - can't bear to open it up yet and spoil it!

Couldn't find any albums though.

[Clay 36]

Good luck with that! :mellow: I don't think you're actually meant to get into it, it's just for admiring! :lol:

[jani d]

The albums in Lpool were with the photo albums/frames if that's any good to anyone.

We had been told they would be by the HS stuff, by staff, but when they came in that's were i founded them.

Only dark colours:(

[Bluemoonjules]

Good luck with that! :mellow: I don't think you're actually meant to get into it, it's just for admiring! :lol:

You are not wrong there - really took some breaking into!

[Sarah Jermyn]

Yey got it!!!!, what a nightmare to find, I really am hopeless!!!! Good old hubby found the HS stuff, even the assistants didn't seem to know what I was looking for and yes it does look hard to get into, I think I just want to admire it for a bit anyway!!

The albums were nice, but I don't scrap much 12 x 12 and I have a nice linen album still nearly empty, so I didn't bother with those. The punch sets were good value for money tho.

Thanks everyone for all your help, keep me posted on more stuff!!

Sarah
xx

[Bluemoonjules]

Glad you got your stuff, Sarah - just been in to get 3 more album packs and a HS set for someone else! They've all been moved since I was in last.
