      I honestly hate Costco. It's always crowded, stuff is never in the same place twice (sometimes you can't even find the same stuff twice); and if you just need a few things, it really isn't worth the time and hassle to save a few dollars by going to Costco and having to deal with the crowds and scavenger hunts. In addition to that, we have special dietary needs, and there literally are only 5 things at Costco we can even use. They are not special diet friendly at all. My membership expired, and I didn't realize it had since it's registered to my mom. I needed two things, and they wouldn't let me buy them unless I renewed right then and there. I was so mad I walked out and never went back. Now I have a Sam's Club membership, and it's so much less stressful on account of it's never busy so I literally can just go in and out with my 5 items.

      In 2020, during the height of the T.P. hoarding, I was looking ALL OVER TOWN for a couple boxes of Kleenex, specifically Kleenex because I like that brand and had JUST RUN OUT. Thankfully, I found them at Costco, but it came in a pack of 10! I had never monitored my Kleenex consumption habits and thought it was just a 1 year supply of Kleenex. It's been over a year now and I still have several boxes.

      @@fairywingsonroses Costco has THE BEST prices! Olive Oil is the obvious one but I also got my electric bike, electric scooter, KitchenAid Mixer and other items there. Just took my neighbor there last week and they had the best price on a child't "water board" toy thing and the cubes that you put in those organizing cube shelves were 1/4 the price of the ones she found on Amazon. She bought a TON of stuff and filled my vehicle to the top! Not sure about your Costco but mine keeps things in the same place and well stocked. Maybe the things you can't find twice were being offered by a traveling vendor?

    This was all accurate. My wife and I just got a Costco membership after saying we didn’t need it for years because it’s just two of us in a one bedroom apartment. Well we broke down and got one, made a list of a handful of things to get (spinach, eggs, juice boxes) and left the store with:
    - protein powder
    - a pair of leggings
    - 4 pairs of joggers
    - a Harry Potter onesie
    - paper towels
    - toilet paper
    - several bags of frozen fruit (to go with the protein powder
    - 4 sets of towels, hand towels and facecloths
    - a sweater
    - liquid IV packets
    - ski mask thing
    - juice boxes
    - BBQ sauce

But end up paying 170-220$ at the check-out line and have the same issue of making space in the kitchen for all the stuff. And also making multiple trips to the car since they don't have bags.

    Edit to add update: I only purchased one extra thing (technically two, but 1 of them had been on my list but I crossed it out). They had a pack of 3 filters for the home on sale. We had just used our last one, my husband said go for it when I called him. Success!

      I'm laughing. I live in Kirkland. Very close to the original Costco. Which is why it's Kirkland signature. And the funniest part is that we used to get hot dogs there, the original hot dog stand really was a hot dog cart. Hot dog and a can of soda for $1.50. Price hasn't changed in roughly 40 years.

I should have known better and I found out at checkout I had picked up $811 worth of items. I won’t be visiting Costco for at least two months.

      On my birthday I didn’t even hear from my bf,then two days later at work I think we were on break but could’ve been lunch. He says ‘I’m going to miss you when you die.’
      I’m 10 years older. Guess that was my birthday sentiment. 😂😂

    We used to commute an hour to the closest Costco... then we moved to the home of Walmart, and when they just announced a Costco to be built in the area, my husband cheered. He loves the Kirkland socks 😅

    I don't shop at Costco, but you know who does?!? Everyone else, my parent's included. 😂🤣 (I just don't have a Costco that's close enough for me to drive to; that's why I have my parent's go FOR me. 👍)

      I was going to say the 6th stage is grief of having to unload everything. You know I only really have to bring the rotisserie in the ice cream cones ill hide from the teenagers in the deep freeze the rest of this ill forget until I get ready to drive to work late on Monday. morning.
