Only went there once. It was about eight years ago. Spent $500 and still had nothing for dinner. On the upside, I still haven’t run out of chap stick.

[@RiverDanube]

Lol. I can understand Costco being okay for a family of ten but Costco represents consumerism perfectly.

[@fairywingsonroses]

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.

[@flagal519]

I laughed out loud at this, how TRUE !

[@myavatartablet2567]

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.

[@myavatartablet2567]

@@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

So long time ago, they did have reusable bags you could buy. I LOVE MY COSTCO BAGS!! And they are huge! Everyone asks where I found them. Makes Costco runs so much easier.

[@naturalnashuan]

We get compliments on our Costco giant reusable bags in every store we use them. Grocery baggers love them!

[@hollyshouse928]

The only thing you forgot was completely overdoing it at the concession stand afterwards

[@gamerboymcf2533]

I went to Costco today and bought the 18 inch pepperoni pizza, I mean sure it was just me at the house but for 10 bucks, hell yeah

[@kitsunelee007]

I live 10min away from a Costco and my husband and regularly pop in for a cheap concession sandwhich.

[@sharonwalker6523]

Couldn’t quit laughing the whole time. So true!

[@RichKatRanch]

I can't thank you enough for being such a bright spot for me every time I watch one of your videos!

[@cgamiga]

We totally take all the frozen snacks out of the box and stash them all over the freezer... or in ziplocs. Wait, honey, buy the big box of ziplocs, too...

[@KelleyBroussardMackaig]

Convienently, they also sell deep freezers in isle 24. It's an essential to have if you're a Costco shopper.

[@gillianpioske2769]

Yep

[@WindchymeK9]

Uhoh, I was just thinking today that I need more ziplocs.....I don't know if I am financially prepared for a trip there right now...(*panic begins to set in)

[@jessicawarner7634]

We bought our modular couch from Costco because the doorways in our house are super narrow and won't fit anything else. We get SO MANY compliments on that couch.

[@danielleking262]

Nice!

[@sugus08]

now i want a modular couch!

[@catheriam1945]

I have a couch I just purchased. Wait, let me look if there is a COSTCO near me. A four hour round trip? And I have a KIA Soul? Oh, phooey, that's just details! Let me just put address in "Mapquest" ....

[@SincerelyGail]

Accurate! We go in for JUST a rotisserie chicken. $350 later….Every.Single.Time.

[@danielleking262]

We always went for the rotisserie chickens and their big tray of chocolate muffins and then of course ended up with tons of other groceries, hahahaha

[@lorawaloski]

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 😅

[@sunnyrays2281]

So great! Thanks for the amazing humor. You guys are the best!

Our local funeral homes uses Costco Coffins too & just doubles the price to the public - most folks don’t even question it! (Why would they?) But anyone can order them online & you’ll save $1,000’s! They deliver directly to the funeral too! That’s probably the weirdest comment I’ve ever left on a video with the goal of trying to be helpful!

[@Vamsee_K]

Word.

[@colleeneldracher5658]

[@naturalnashuan]

I tried to convince my Dad to buy himself a Costco coffin. He had been looking at the really fancy expensive ones. When I was a kid he said, "Just bury me in any cheap wood box." I tried to be helpful with my info about wholesale cheap coffins. Didn't go well.

Hilarious! It just amazes me how you goofballs find humor in everyday things all of us do. So easy to relate!! I love Costco and your making fun of the mindset you develop shopping there.

A few questions I have: Whats the secret to your relationship? How are both of you so funny? How do both of you look like models?

[@gillianpioske2769]

These questions need to be answered.

[@catheriam1945]

@@gillianpioske2769 02.24.2022. A lot of answers (except how they look like models: great metabolisms is my guess) on their Vlogs from their participation on The Amazing Race..

[@melindasteinert9995]

They do have at least one book on relationships which I bet is GREAT. Also there's several videos on relationships on their website and yep, like another poster mentioned they did say in their TAR podcast that they went to couples counseling. They just seem like the nicest people...I mean, normal people with issues like us all, but that they seem to be continuously striving to improve and do the work to be good and mentally and emotionally healthy. Yes, they are both so funny...Penn especially is hilarious and I love his exuberance. He is SO TALENTED and creative. They're both vulnerable and open and it's beautiful. And yep, they are both very attractive people inside and out!

[@EndlessSummer888]

For the last question, one of their videos suggests Kim has 27 different kinds of soaps. One for her face, another for her face, one to keep her face tight, another one to only put on at night, one that's costs 37 dollars, exfoliating Jojoba seed, Dead Sea mud, and several more.

[@silverwolfdemon4791]

I work at Costco had seen this video before and found it quite amusing and accurate. The funny thing is, is that I had to go this employee meeting and they showed this video. And it made everyone one laugh. The one bright side to the meeting lol

[@sarahsappenfield8359]

That's what WE needed to keep track if ours !! We bought the small fire safes and now we can't find our passports !!!! Or my coin collection . or my wife's jewelry . or ..... Kids!! Where the hell are you !!!! So much Costco stuff it's taking over the house like it's a living breathing thing !!!!

[@richardmahn7589]

Where's the stage where you argue after checkout how much you spent, that we need a limit from now on (ours is $700, even for us too high), and that you won't go back for another month. Then the next stage is you go back the next weekend anyway and go over that limit.

[@mariekam738]

Ha ha ha ha ha….So True Richard 😆

[@paulaa.6833]

I could literally go back every week and go over the limit. It's insane! I now limit it to once a month and local grocery for $100/w in between Costco trips. Bought a basement freezer commercial size just for Costco. I now freeze everything from muffins to bagels to cream cheese. Damn them 🤣

[@The-OG-JT]

This video was only about DAY 1 of Costco membership-save that for episode 2+ cuz it’s so true!! 😉😂😭😂

[@chatsagain]

Funny stuff....now! Because we always exceeded our weekly budget the next week we took out cash for Costco to stay on budget.....let's say $250. We got our total at checkout and exceeded our cash! So we still had to use our card and then ended up with that cash withdrawal too. 😂

[@LaviniaDeMortalium]

Stage 6: When your childhood expertise in playing tetris comes into play while stuffing the fridge. Shoot! Someone beat me to it

[@JeremyHoyboo]

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.
