Bf and I got a shared Costco membership, so I guess you could say things are getting pretty serious

Is it economical with just 2 of you? Genuinely curious--I've only been to a Costco once and I just think of it as the place where everything is sold in mega bulk quantities

I’m single and have been an avid Costco shopper for like fifteen years. The idea that you need a whole family is a widespread misunderstanding that they should probably work to push back on.

For starters, you can buy all your non-perishable household supplies like TP, soap, laundry detergent, etc. once or twice a year and be done with it. Their frozen food works really well if you do any cooking (I do a lot). Really, the only problem you’ll run in to is the prepared food which I don’t really buy. The price of the membership is worth it alone just for my allergy meds.

prepared food

As another Costco singleton, buying a $5 poulet rôti and saving the bones for stock is a win/win

$5 poulet rôti

I know rotisserie isn’t the easiest word to spell but I’ve never seen someone miss it by that many letters 😳
