I will brave the downvotes and say: I don’t like Costco.

It’s not out of snobbishness, their quality is excellent at excellent prices.

My problem is that I find I spend more at Costco than at conventional grocery stores like Trader Joe’s.

The paradox is, it’s cheaper, but I spend more. I buy things I wouldn’t normally buy, and ant higher quantities. Even worse, I somehow eat it all quite quickly.

I spend more and eat more when I shop at Costco.

Unfortunately that’s neither healthy for my wallet nor for my waistline.
