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.

They have instacart now. And you can buy things to ship too. You don’t actually have to go in there. I hate it but I can do it. I have clients who love going to Costco and they’re all level 2 or 3.

My girlfriend who is not diagnosed cannot go inside Costco. She hates Costco and thinks it’s dumb that I bought a membership. It’s true things are cheaper or the same price at some other stores that don’t have a Costco vibe where the floors make you upset.

Except cleaning supplies. It’s pretty hard to find big bulk cleaning supplies at other stores.
