I’ve had a Costco membership for decades, but lately I’ve noticed the bulk food waste issue in my own kitchen. My husband and I just can’t eat through it fast enough anymore.
My daughter keeps telling me to switch to smaller grocery stores because the bulk shopping doesn’t fit her family of three. Watching this video makes me think she’s right.
When I first retired, Costco felt like a lifesaver. But now that it’s just me and my wife, we spend more time figuring out where to store everything than enjoying the savings.
The digital card frustration is real. Last month my phone froze at the entrance, and I felt embarrassed holding up the line. It makes me nervous every time I go now.
This reminded me of the times I tried to split Costco runs with neighbors. It sounds good in theory, but in practice it felt like planning a wedding—too complicated.
I raised three kids in the 80s, and Costco was perfect back then. Now, with just the two of us at home, I can see why people are walking away.
I’ve always loved the treasure hunt aspect of Costco, but lately it feels more like stress than excitement. By the time I hear about a deal, it’s already gone.
My grandchildren laugh when they see the giant tubs of food I bring home. They always ask, “Grandma, who’s going to eat all this?” Truth is, I don’t know anymore.
This video made me realize how much my shopping habits have changed since moving into a smaller apartment. There just isn’t room for bulk buying anymore.
Thank you for putting this together. It gave me a lot to think about, and I’ll be having a conversation with my family about whether our membership still makes sense.
