Wholesale giant Costco is a go-to for many shoppers in Liverpool and further afield - loved for its bulk buys and discounts.
However, some struggle to stock up on its products given the way the store operates its membership schemes as many believe not everyone can qualify for one.
This isn't entirely true.
There is a way you can sign up to Costco and shop its deals without any qualifying criteria, although not many shoppers seem to be aware of it.
According to Costco's website it offers five variations of its membership: Trade, Individual, Trade Executive, Individual Executive and finally its Annual Subscription.
It's the Annual Subscription which is lesser known but can benefit shoppers in a big way.
By signing up, you'll be able to shop Costco online and even get its free technical support help which is offered with its standard memberships.
If this wasn't good enough the annual subscription is also much cheaper than the standard membership too. Priced at £15, it is less than half the price of the individual membership which costs £33.60.
