Costco and other bulk-buy grocery stores hold a special place in the hearts of American moms everywhere. Where else can you stock up on enough toilet paper to last a small army? Or purchase enough cereal to feed a neighborhood? The folks at “Mom Squad” have shared a shopping list that truly resonates, and we couldn’t be more thrilled.
While a trip to Costco can feel like a glorious adventure, it often leaves you pondering, “Who in their right mind needs this much of anything?” It’s all too easy to be swayed by the allure of bulk pricing, only to find yourself with items that are more likely to grow mold than be consumed.
This Instagram post captures the essence of my love-hate relationship with this giant warehouse. From the “50-pound bag of trail mix that will collect dust” to the “box of chicken nuggets that’s way too big for my freezer,” it’s all spot on. I might also add my obsession with their gourmet cheese section because, let’s be honest, who can resist?
I excel at convincing myself that certain items are essential (I’ve definitely succumbed to the “endless chicken salad” trap), only to return home and realize my family has zero interest. And can we talk about the “gargantuan bottle of shampoo for my partner” and the “tent?” Who hasn’t left Costco with enough wine to start a vineyard or those “not-so-great vitamins” from the health aisle? They’re conveniently located near the checkout, and after all that grocery shopping, a mom’s gotta treat herself to something “healthy,” right?
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I need to grab a 90-day stash of dinosaur nuggets, my own supply of thrillers, and a mountain of K-cups that could fill a landfill.
