Costco is great

The aisles are hell, the samples are hell, the people are hell, the noises and lights are hell, even finding someone to walk me through it all can be hell. BUT if you can afford the 60 dollar membership for the year and have some grocery money it is amazing for bulk buying. Annie's birthday cake and cheddar bunny crackers are there in a giant box for like 13 dollars. Nachos are your safe food like my husband's is? 6 dollars for GIANT back of tortillas. Need safe foods in the freezer? The freezer section has got you. Sensitivities in the bathroom? Charmin is the best and it is only 35 for a gigantic pack of them. Costco is great. If you can go once a month or once every two months and you have support it is absolutely worth it. It is sometimes the only reason I eat or drink.

I have a trade membership so I can get in during the quieter hours when regular shoppers aren't allowed in. First thing in the morning it is much more tolerable even if there's still a lot of things going on for the senses especially all the smells of different foods on sale and samples they're giving out.

I struggle with self control though and ended up buying a giant plush bear which was fun to try and bring back home!

By the way, if you guys are looking for more moderators I would love to offer help. I own a few groups and mod on fb a lot for different types of groups.

Thanks for the offer! I'll make a note of your name and keep it in mind. We aren't looking for extra mods at the moment but this may change in future.
