      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?

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.

    - 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

    We actually need a new couch, this one comes in a box, but you know I'm not going to question it.

      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.

    Loved you guys on TAR! This is the first time RUclips’s recommended you to me though. Saw your smiling faces and immediately clicked.

    One of my brother in law’s calls Costco the $100 store cause you can’t walk out of that store without spending that much at least or just the few items you needed. I tell him it’s all in your ability to control yourself!

      @@Allen2 we always said that we were a cheap date, dad would say let's do dinner, we get in the car and he'd go to Costco. Feed everyone for less than $10

    The people who disliked this are stage 1! I've said waaay too many of these things..but I feel like you need stage 6 where you have instacrates and boxes in your trunk for all the 'great deals' 😜

      I’m stuck at stage 1. I hate waste and I like uncluttered spaces. And I like my money in the bank. But Costco is a beloved by many people so not disrespecting.

    This is absolutely accurate! And so is the comment that you NEED to stop at the "cafe'" after. I used to go with my kids and they would split a giant piece of pizza for like a buck! Talk about cheap lunch! And the chicken bakes are huge and really good, not to mention the ice cream.... (I think I am just hungry now).
