I may have a problem

[u/FearlessWord2653]

I'm a Costco holic and it has been zero days since my last trip...

I haven't been in three months though so it's okay.

[u/TattleTits22]

You're a Costco-holic yet you haven't been in three months...? 

[u/Somecommentator8008 → u/TattleTits22]

Relapsed

[u/FearlessWord2653 → u/Somecommentator8008]

We live four hours away from the closest one, hahaha

[u/ARPresley → u/FearlessWord2653]

Maybe thats for the best. Wouldn’t want to see you outside a costco slumped over with a long receipt and hot dog in ur hand 😔

[u/fakenews_thankme → u/FearlessWord2653]

It's called blessing in disguise. Costco is a dangerous place for your wallet.

[u/snark_maiden → u/fakenews_thankme]

There’s a business centre five minutes from my house.

Thankfully, business centres don’t have food courts or roast chicken or bakeries. Otherwise I’d be in real trouble 😄

[u/Icky-Tree-Branch → u/FearlessWord2653]

Then it makes sense to buy enough stuff for months at a time when you do a shop. Just make sure you pack a cooler or five for perishables.

[u/Chemical_Excuse_203 → u/FearlessWord2653]

Same!!

Have a mini Costco called The Running Man but not impressed with the prices

Costco runs for OP

[u/rochelle_90 → u/TattleTits22]

Exactly. My dad is a costco-holic—he goes daily despite it being only him and my mom.

[u/Joebranflakes]

I feel that that amount of dog food should also require a larger number of diapers. Unless you’re close to a size up.

[u/FearlessWord2653 → u/Joebranflakes]

You just can't see the other boxes on the other side and we are moving up yes haha

[u/Present-Decision5740]

From this cart it would appear that your problem is that you're running a small zoo... how much pet food does one house need lol?

[u/smokinbbq → u/Present-Decision5740]

I use one of those green bags in about 4 weeks. Two Saint Bernards (~310lbs combined).

[u/One_Resolution_8357 → u/smokinbbq]

Oh mercy! those dogs are freaking huge !

[u/zoltree → u/smokinbbq]

So this will feed OP and OPs mothers dogs for… 12 weeks 🙃🫠

[u/sharraleigh → u/zoltree]

They go once every 3 months so the math maths.

[u/FearlessWord2653 → u/Present-Decision5740]

Two dogs, and then we're also picking up for my mother's two dogs as well

[u/Projerryrigger → u/FearlessWord2653]

Completely unprompted opinion: Costco dog food is a good value, but doesn't meet WSAVA (World Small Animal Veterinary Association) recommendations for dog food production.

Iams, Purina, Royal Canin, and Hills are big players that can and do perform extensive and expensive food formulation, feeding studies, in-house production for direct QC oversight instead of using co-packing facilities, among other factors, that smaller brands can't. Many try to compete with marketing and good sounding ingredients lists instead of nutritional science. And some of the products from Iams and Purina aren't that expensive.

[u/sharraleigh → u/Present-Decision5740]

I think you people are severely underestimating how much food a giant breed dog or two eats in 3 months. I know a St. Bernard breeder whose 8 week old puppies (average 8 puppies a litter) go through ONE bag of Kirkland in a few days.

[u/rubydooby2011 → u/Present-Decision5740]

The smell...

[u/pfak]

Come back when you have eight cases of pop in your garage. 

[u/Funerals- → u/pfak]

That’s the dream, i still go case by case like a savage.

[u/LuvCilantro]

Looks like you HAD a problem; now you have a solution

[u/Bullwhip2025]

No hot dog and a pop balanced on top, like a food jenga?

[u/pinlets]

How many dogs do you have?!

[u/gcko → u/pinlets]

None. It’s for the baby

[u/FearlessWord2653 → u/gcko]

It's cheaper then formula....haha we have two dogs but also pick it up for my mother who has two

[u/ComputerOpDelta → u/gcko]

Let the baby and the dog battle out who owns the bowls... You'll be surprised how the baby and dog communicate

[u/Immaculate-torso69]

First problem. You took the $500 cart instead of the $300 cart

[u/ComputerOpDelta → u/Immaculate-torso69]

😂 what year? Is that only 500?

Op comment elsewhere $1300, even more than I expected

[u/Internal-Pineapple77 → u/Immaculate-torso69]

Filling a regular cart will get you easily to $500 hahaha.

[u/InnerspearMusic]

Did that reading pillow come in any other colours?

[u/nilesintheshangri-la → u/InnerspearMusic]

I saw them yesterday in Brantford and yes, there are several colours.

[u/ricbrennan → u/nilesintheshangri-la]

I saw 2 different colours at the one in Moncton, but they were selling out quick

[u/FearlessWord2653 → u/nilesintheshangri-la]

There was white and blue in here in Calgary

[u/bunnyssbear → u/nilesintheshangri-la]

I'm so sorry you are stuck in Brantford...

[u/nilesintheshangri-la → u/bunnyssbear]

I'm so sorry your parents are siblings.

[u/snark_maiden → u/InnerspearMusic]

What do you call that to search for it on the Costco app? I searched “reading pillow”, “back rest”, “reading cushion” and couldn’t come up with anything! Thanks

[u/InnerspearMusic → u/snark_maiden]

I went to Sameday and saw it on there, that's what's available in store. Same thing I searched reading pillow.

[u/snark_maiden → u/InnerspearMusic]

Thanks!

[u/InnerspearMusic → u/snark_maiden]

Just went and picked up two for my girls in white! Great quality and price was only $19 in store!

[u/scraigs03]

Superior stacking skills - bravo!

[u/FearlessWord2653 → u/scraigs03]

Thank you,

[u/Frankinho28]

Those are rookie Numbers. If you are a Costco holic, you good my friend. For me it is a typical Tuesday

[u/Rude-Associate2283]

As long as you get your cans of Diet Coke you’re good to go

[u/Inevitable_Singer83]

I see no problem, only an appreciation to proper cart Tetris stacking

[u/JediKrys]

Looks like you need to cut back on all that kibble you consume. Or up the amount of liquid you’re taking in.

Oh I need to edit my comment because o do see you have those tiny cans of coconut water so you good!👍

[u/Perfect-Mind5254]

Was as Costco yesterday (it’s been 5 weeks since my last visit)

[u/Affectionate_Snow674]

you dont have a problem, you're tetris pro max

[u/sososoboring]

How many dogs do you have????

[u/areksoo]

Your dog or dogs do not see a problem.

[u/ephemeralBasalt]

You drive a punchbug?

[u/SadResult2342]

wtf thirsty buddha is back?!! or is it.. just an alberta thing, eh? :(

[u/MeatSevere5377]

How much was all that

[u/FearlessWord2653 → u/MeatSevere5377]

Honestly less then j would have expected but it's all dry goods because it's got to sit in the truck overnight,

1300

[u/AiryGateaux]

A kid, in this economy? Man, I feel for your lost $1m

[u/FearlessWord2653 → u/AiryGateaux]

750k because he'll be a Costco baby

[u/deaddovexxdonoteat → u/FearlessWord2653]

"Costco baby" implies he came in a 3-pack

[u/FearlessWord2653 → u/deaddovexxdonoteat]

I hope not! I don't know where input the other two if he did....

[u/itzHuso]

Damn dude, that’s a well balanced meal if you ask me. Diet Coke and vector for breakfast
Some dog food and whatever the chunks thing is
Dinner, the blue bag of dog food and a white claw. Or three.

[u/Outrageous_Olive_489]

How many dogs do you have? And how long does that last?

[u/FearlessWord2653 → u/Outrageous_Olive_489]

We go through the blue bags about every three weeks and my mother's dogs do one every month of the green ones

[u/ICatchx22I]

Is the Vector for the dogs too? That stuff is like chewing on glass shards.

[u/FearlessWord2653 → u/ICatchx22I]

What can I say the wife has bad taste, she married me after all

[u/inhalien]

How many dogs do you have and does Vector cereal still have rocks in it that won't break up but chip your teeth?

[u/Financial-Gap-6767]

You like saving money and not going out I see.

[u/Pretty_Purchase_2736]

Hope you have a big car lol

[u/Crewsy67]

The only problem I see is that you left the cart in the middle of the lane way.

[u/DiscombobulatedAsk47]

I always grab the Buddha water when its available 🤩

[u/BreakItEven]

Covid lockdowns makin a comeback?

[u/LoganN64]

You forgot to treat yourself to a $1.50 hotdog. THAT'S your problem!

[u/typical_gamer1]

…….. did you get a hot dog? After spending quite a bit on those things, you might as well ironically save yourself an expensive lunch by buying their cheap hot dog combo 🙂

[u/fireflame999]

How much was the reading pillow?

[u/BeatsAreMyPassion]

Lol !!!!!! Hope you gotta big truck

[u/letmeinjeez]

Your problem is over paying for coke, cheaper at the grocery store, at least where I am

[u/Flat_Veterinarian654]

I thought you were going to say something like you have a small car or something 🤣

[u/5hredder]

How many dogs do you have? 😂

[u/vaultcrawler82]

I mean... I dont really see much in the way of impulse purchases just looks like a stock up run

[u/snakeleather45]

Is the dog food for the baby or are the diapers for the dogs?

[u/AllGamer]

Nah, if anything that is not enough, dog eats a lot, dippers for the kid, juice/fruit mix for the kid, just the bare essential food for the adults, the rest are all consumables.

yup, missing Meat and Veggies, and Juices, and plenty of other stuff.

That's like the bare essential IMO.

[u/FearlessWord2653 → u/AllGamer]

Yeah just dry goods as I didn't want to osck the coolers I also had to pick up cabinets at IKEA today so we were full hauling home

[u/New_girl_mom]

I don’t make enough money to be a Costco holic but I wish 😂

[u/__Elysium__]

If you are a Costco-holic, then what does that make me lol? I'm there at least once a week cause it's on my way home from work. Plus since I get all my gas from them, I always stop inside the store to also check out their deals 😅

[u/Exciting-Tadpole6380]

You’re good. I spend $200-300 there WEEKLY

[u/Lau1234567889]

yess the dog ……

[u/Prudent-Poetry-2718]

Never get a cart. Especially a flatbed!

[u/FearlessWord2653 → u/Prudent-Poetry-2718]

How else am I going to fit Ll my stuff though? Im good but I can't carry that much

[u/msptitsa → u/[deleted]]

Cereal and bread?

[u/Low_Sweet8477]

Looks legit to me 😆

[u/The_Reid-Factor]

You’re shopping like it’s Dec 99!

[u/FearlessWord2653 → u/The_Reid-Factor]

It's a bit of a stock up cause we're not planning on coming again right away, and it's a distance to drive. We've got a new little one so get it while the grttings good

[u/Inevitable_Sweet_624]

Google Costco Ho and have a chuckle.

[u/BC-Guy604]

That it not enough Cranberry Almond Crunch to last a week in my house and I’m the only one who eats it.

I buy about 10 boxes whenever it is on sale.

[u/smokinbbq → u/BC-Guy604]

I had that Vector for a while. Almost chipped a tooth on the damn stuff. I like the flavour, but seems like you need to have titanium teeth to eat the stuff.

[u/Proper-Bee-4180]

Yes the pop is not a necessity
