I went to Costco today. Amazing place, its pretty much a huge warehouse (general public not allowed, have to be a member) with bulk buying

You can put 1700 tea bags for 17 quid!!! 1 pence PER Tea bag!!!

You can also buy a Nintendo Wii with MarioKart for 84 quid (110 on amazon, 130 in argos)... buy Box of 48 Double Deckers which works out at 34p each... 48 bags of crisps, restaurant sized Hummas, its incredible!!!!!

We have a place like that here called bookers

A guy who I know owns a shop buys bottles of water there 9p and sells them on for 90p lol

It's unreal when you thhink how much they sell it for, to be sold on

But the starting company must make money aswell it's unreal how cheap things much cost

Sell tea for 50p..that costs me 1p to make!! How about that for a profit margin lol And I did see an Apple pie that was the size of a bicycle wheel!!!

It's amazing when you come to think about it!

There's a shop by my house named 'Heron Foods' they sell 3 bottles of Powerade for £1 bear in mind everywhere else sells them for £1.20 each

Also 2 litre coke/Tango/Dr Pepper all £1 a bottle

It's amazing how much the company must sell it to the wearhouse for, and how much then go and then sell it to the shop for them to sell it at that price

It's amazing

AND WOW! A big apple pie! Why did you not buy it

Its not really that great when you think:

100 nintendo wiis at £84= £8400
sell 100 nintendo wii's at £100 = £10,000
£1600

But i doubt you have £8400 just lying about, Which would mean you would need a short term bank loan which would mean paying interest etc, Or if you stuck that £8400 on a credit card your interest be nearly £900 which would only leave a £700 profit.

It looks good does that £1600 profit, but not when you spent £8400 just to make £1600.

Lord sugar? More like fred the shred.

That idea would only be feasable if you had 8.4k spare, and you had a buyer

You get all them and everybody says £70 ea?

Your risking 1.4k then aposed to making 1.6k

And anywho, how's everybody?
