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


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

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.


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 …

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.

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.
