I’m at Costco…AMA

[Anonymous]

Do you have a large basement for storing all the extra stuff you have to buy in bulk at cost co? Do you have a large SUV to bring all the stuff home?

I love going to Costco. It makes me happy to save by buying in bulk, especially when it means I can limit other purchasing trips. No anxiety at all.

This is so silly. I routinely spend $700 or so at Costco and drive a civic.

Well this thread was anticlimactic.

Do you understand the structure of an AMA? To review, these are the steps:

-you post the AMA
-posters ask you questions
-you answer the questions

Are you OP?

The inference was I don’t like all the unnecessary stuff you have to buy at CostCo …

You have to buy? As in are compelled?

Also, it's implication, not inference.

Not OP but my anxiety goes down at Costco. It’s so easy! I was in and out in 30 minutes last week. I’ve been shopping there for decades though so I know what I’m doing. I can see it being overwhelming for newbies. Weekend nights are easy, or early morning on weekends. It’s definitely a “know thyself” kind of store. Are you really the kind of person that will eat 5 pounds of baby carrots? You need to be honest with yourself. We mostly buy the luxury good but there are some things we buy in bulk because we eat a lot (black beans, yogurt, mini tomatoes). And I like buying TP only once a year.

I’m guessing you go to a better location than the other poster. The Gaithersburg location is anxiety inducing!! Seriously can’t get into the store without hearing people honking all pissed off in the parking lot.

Yes compelled because every time I went there with friends it was not possible to buy the amounts I needed but vast quantities of stuff I did not need or want. I don’t want to keep my house like an end times prepper …

How many trips back and forth does it take to get all your groceries home?
