Went there today for the first time in ages and found this for just under £20.
A fantastic selection of papers, all acid and lignen free. There are 4 each of 75 designs, and all double sided. They come in a transparent concertina storage wallet which fits inside a fully zipped transparent cover with handle. Have to say it is quite weighty.
Me and another lady worked out even if the papers were 10p each, we were quids in! but reckon they were at minimum 50p plus quality...

Somes like an amazing bargain. I wish there was a costco near me!! :D
I've heard about this before, I'm off to Costco on Monday for my eye tests, I'm keeping my fingers crossed that they still have some left in Thurrock!

I've got this paper and haven't even opened the packet. My OH loaded it into the trolley, thinking I'd like it, as the sample open was of great quality and I did nothing to stop him! :D

These papers are amazing - I was lucky enough to buy some from a member of another forum and the quality is fantastic.
I still wish I had a Costco near me and I was able to join, I've heard of some other items they stock that sound lovely too!

Same here, my nearest costco is about 90 miles away so not much of a bargain by the time I get there :(
I did get one when I went and it is lovely cardstock - very Basic Grey inspired, I think. However, I am thinking that perhaps I've gone a tad mad on cardstock as my DCWV AD arrived this week, and I've hardly used the first one!
Therefore, if anyone would like half of my Costco papers (that's 150 sheets, 2 each of 75 designs), then it would cost £18.95 including postage (for an extremely heavy parcel), just pm me.

I'm on a paper ban at the moment Dips but thanks for the offer. I sorted my stash out last weekend and its worrying how much paper I have. I have promised myself no more paper unless its speciality paper. I've only relented on that because I know QVC are going to have Blue awning and sea glass soon :rolleyes:
I know that worry, too, Jeanette! I think I'm going to be need to craft until I'm a 102 to use up all my paper and card (it never stops us from buying for very long, though, does it, lol?)!

What a very lovely offer Dips :) I soooooo very nearly went for it then...but I'm having severe storage issue ATM, so maybe 150 sheets of 12x12 isn't a good buy LOL
I think I may have to think about de-cluttering my stash so I have room for this I will actually use...

My friend went to the Haydock costco yesterday and managed to get me the 300 papers. They are great value and lovely. Just been having a look at them. Far to many to use really as I dont scrapbook just do cards although I have some scrapbook sets waiting to be used. trouble is its that old addiction again where I have to have them cos they are nice and a bargain!.
