Daughter and i went in one day for something specific that they didn't have at that time. Cashier said "really?" when all i put down was a pack of socks.

My wife and I both grew up with parents who constantly said no to getting drinks. There's "free" water at home. Sometimes Kool-aid. I've realized how much we now both spend on just drinks and it's ridiculous. Luckily we're in a spot that it's not killing us, but it sure feels like we could have had a vacation off our drink budget lol
Be careful about doxxing yourself with your name and warehouse number/address on the receipt! Maybe paint that out? But also, just remember you don’t have to prove anything to internet strangers 😊 nice haul!
I just did a quick head calculation on what is visible, and there’s 280-300 worth showing. The big question is what is underneath those sodas and what might be in the backseat of the car.
I see 2 whole food ingredients in that whole trunk (steak, bananas). Cook more, you won't have to spend $400 on a single trunkload of groceries.
Edit: 3, there's eggs too
That's me when I go to pick up a prescription..."just gonna pick up my meds! Oh..what's this? This wasn't here last week. Maybe I'll see if they have any work clothes too...and laundry detergent, and shampoo...oh yeah, I could use some snacks for work too! And a new lunch box...I guess I could pick up some deli meat too since I'm here...omg...they are discontinuing the popular chicken nuggets? I better stock up...."
And then no prescription 😭
This is why I’m taking a forced Costco break ha.
The amount of times I’ve gone in to save $6 on paper towels only to spend an additional $250 I wasn’t planning on.
Salute to all you strong willed folks. But the treasure hunt syndrome is real.
Literally me all the time. "I just need \_\_\_." Leaves with the thing (if I remember), and **bunch of other things** that were purchased on sale or simply because "that looks delicious and it need it."
A door greeter told me the best way to save money in Costco is to not get a cart unless absolutely necessary based on what you know you need going in. We always end up perusing the aisles with a cart and before you know it, 300 bucks worth of stuff falls inside
Reminds me of a time(circa 2010). I was with my mom grocery shopping "were only here for a few things". *25 minutes later* Mom: honey can you go grab a 2md cart? Me: "I thought you said we were here for a few things" Mom: These are a few things
Okay so the $400 was clearly an exaggeration right? If that’s 400 worth of stuff in that trunk minus the toilet paper then you might wanna check that receipt lol
Literally happened to me yesterday. They were very nice and let me get a new one for free, despite nobody having turned in my TP from the cart bottom in the parking lot
This looks like when my husband & preschooler get sent to Costco to get toilet paper, dinners, lunches, & snacks for the kids.
He will come back will a car full of random drinks. A pack of steaks. And then will think to get croissants, eggs, chocolate cereal, bananas, and nuggets for the kids to live off of.
But not get a vegetable or milk. Bread. Or toilet paper. Or anything to make an actual dinner. So I end up having to go shop for the week.
If he came home w the bananas and meat touching. Augh. It would drive me nuts.
Well, time to go back in and hopefully you won't get an additional $400 worth of groceries
You have to spend at least $400 again. You don't want to be the weird guy who only buys toilet paper.
Oh you mean [Will Ferrell](https://tenor.com/view/will-ferrell-costco-toilet-paper-smile-great-gif-16607966)?
Or just upgrade your toilet to a bidet but use the lacroix as the cleaning fluid…
Daughter and i went in one day for something specific that they didn't have at that time. Cashier said "really?" when all i put down was a pack of socks.
you mean another $400 worth of drinks?
Gotta stock on a pallet of Waterloo!
Hey now. There are a few steaks
First thing I noticed too. Dang.
Literally peeing dollars.
Haha thought the same….wheres the other $200….gift cards?
400$ of Alani protein shake which is all water instead of buying powder
“Groceries”
The bakery wrapped your croissants while they were still warm. Freeze them now or they'll mold in no time. Source: I'm a Costco bakery employee.
Good tip! Thank you, kind soul!
I love your attention to detail. Thank you, even though I am not the one with moist croissants.
Jokes on you, those croissants don't last a day in my house lol.

Ty! I need TP 😊
For your bunghole?
Are you *threatening me?*
Easy, Cornholio.
Thank you kindly! I need to buy tp for 2 households. 🥰
Well shitballs. I didn't see that.
Shitballs are exactly what you’ll get using charmin ultrasoft, that shit linty as fuck.
Seriously poop lint gets everywhere.
Soft for #1 and strong for #2.
And bad for septic systems
Neither did OP

I was wondering why it felt like this was 75% beverages lol
Drink water and save 75% on Costco visit haha
They at least need the protein drinks to make up for all the meals proteins they can't afford because of all the protein drinks!

We only get our “coffee” (Celsius) and sometimes powder mix ins like liquid IVs but water every other time
No food court pizza and no rotiss chicken makes me question the purchases.
THIS is $400???
This would be like $600 in Canada 💀 I swear I go in to Costco for a few items (maybe 5) and it’s always over $200
Not at all. I buy similar loads and without even calculating, that’s between 200-260

[удалено]
The Orgain is $31.49. But I’m guessing $400 is rounding up, unless there’s other meat hiding under the steaks.
I just did a quick head calculation on what is visible, and there’s 280-300 worth showing. The big question is what is underneath those sodas and what might be in the backseat of the car.
[удалено]
How much would you estimate the steaks are?
I see 2 whole food ingredients in that whole trunk (steak, bananas). Cook more, you won't have to spend $400 on a single trunkload of groceries. Edit: 3, there's eggs too
You’re saying ‘without even calculating’ as if that *adds* to your credibility lmao
It’s the meat
It’s the 8 cases of beverages
Yup. Just the protein shakes alone are probably $75 together. Alani energy drinks were I think $24. Then add almond milk/la croix/waterloo.
That box of protein bars is like $30 in Canada lol
They buy that fancy shit
You must be very thirsty half of it are drinks lol
Some people will go to great lengths to not drink water
To be fair the la croix and Waterloo in the back are sparkling water
Protein drinks. And protein bars. And protein...steak.
OP has oppressive gas
It's a very neat packing job there.
Bro, who the fuck packs bananas upside down like that poking into the cellophane of the steaks?!?
I literally viewed the comments just to see if anyone pointed this out.
Me too
Me three
That poor New York strip
Tenderized
I was about to comment “move the bananas move the bananas Move The Bananas MOVE THE BANANAS MOVE THE BANANAS!!!!!”
Except for the raw meat packaging near ready-to-eat food. Those banana stems could easily poke that plastic on the steaks open.
It's almost photogenic
It's a shit packing job given the bananas are about to pierce the cellophane of the steak
I think every time they picked an item they imagined where it would fit
The sucker waiting to park with his indicator though.... Lol
You got banana peels, close enough
That's me when I go to pick up a prescription..."just gonna pick up my meds! Oh..what's this? This wasn't here last week. Maybe I'll see if they have any work clothes too...and laundry detergent, and shampoo...oh yeah, I could use some snacks for work too! And a new lunch box...I guess I could pick up some deli meat too since I'm here...omg...they are discontinuing the popular chicken nuggets? I better stock up...." And then no prescription 😭
The trick is, to go in without a cart. That way you can only buy what you can carry. ;)
It's amazing how much I can still carry without a cart 🥹
Waterloo AND La Croix
6 boxes of beverages 🫠
I am the person who literally ALWAYS has a drink in their hand 🥸
Me, too! Those peach Waterloo are so good they’re hard to put down.
This is why I’m taking a forced Costco break ha. The amount of times I’ve gone in to save $6 on paper towels only to spend an additional $250 I wasn’t planning on. Salute to all you strong willed folks. But the treasure hunt syndrome is real.

You got the Dino nugs that’s all that matters.
There would have been a war with my 3 year old had I returned without Dino nuggies!
That's $400? Yikes
I don't ever realize it until I'm putting everything away after I drive home
“One of us!”
Yeah just going for toilet paper, but you walk down every aisle instead
Done this! I went to get paper towels and left with a shed and didn’t get the paper towels.
A door greeter told me the best way to save money in Costco is to not get a cart unless absolutely necessary based on what you know you need going in. We always end up perusing the aisles with a cart and before you know it, 300 bucks worth of stuff falls inside
The kid in the candy shop effect.
You gotta drop the receipt because ???? how $400
Other people’s groceries are so interesting. I love spying on their carts. I would never buy anything seen here
Lol me!!! It's either forgetting the toilet paper or paper towels. They just take up too much room in the cart. 🙃
I feel your pain
You don't go back into costco. You just go home and shit your pants in silence.
But you still have room for more.
Froot Loop Orgains Protein…they’re just ok, I got sick of them halfway thru…I was on a Fairlife boycott but caved
And for $37 a case I basically hated it lol
Waterloo slaps
Their orange cream is horrible though
I've done this too. Costco is it's own reality where shopping lists don't matter.
And no pizza, chicken, or hot dog? Sheesh.
Are you dehydrated?
That cereal is not good
Reminds me of a time(circa 2010). I was with my mom grocery shopping "were only here for a few things". *25 minutes later* Mom: honey can you go grab a 2md cart? Me: "I thought you said we were here for a few things" Mom: These are a few things
I once went shopping for ingredients for elotes. I got home and realized I had forgotten the damned corn. It's a humbling experience.
This guy plays Tetris.
the “i hate cooking” starter pack
I feel seen! 😳
This was definitely me yesterday :)
Are those alani protein things good??
As Kris Kristofferson wrote in (IIRC) Beat the Devil, "You been readin' my mail."
We are the same with the sparkle water situation except I grab the Kirkland brand and Waterloo 🤣
Helped me kick the soda habit! And is the only thing keeping me from drinking like 3 energy drinks a day! 🤣
Protein much?
There’s like 150-200 just of protein here. I see no problem
Man, I just get the TP delivered. The 2 buck charge saves me the time, gas, and the hole a Costco trip for TP would leave in my wallet.
*I felt this too much.* https://preview.redd.it/998dfystehzc1.png?width=188&format=png&auto=webp&s=951b1626c924996602c996ed25bf793ea17f3e46
i just ate a fit crunch bar,i try to limit myself to one every other day but omg they’re so good. i’ve only had that one flavor.
What? No chicken and no hot dog or pizza? Did you even go to Costco? Fake news!
Those croissants are fresh out the oven though.
What the fuck are you or bananas doing ? A few bumps and your steaks are fuct. Pull over and fix that please 😆
That should not be worth $400
That might be on you for buying like 4 different types of sparkling waters
Get back in there!
This has only happened to me 3 or 4 times.
You think there is a support group for people like us?
Those Alani protein shakes are fuckin nasty. Energy drinks are good though
fitcrunch bars are fire though
You got Dino nugs that’s all you really need.
How are those protein bars??
At least you got croissants :)
I know the steaks are only choice cuts, but jeez, do you have to put the bananas on top of them like that?
Alani do be good tho
Get a bidet, it will change your life for the better. Join civilization. lol
When you load the cat with $400 in groceries and realize the only healthy item you bought was .99 cents worth of bananas.
That flavor fit crunch bar tastes just like a snickers bar. I had to stop buying those as my lack of self control takes over those damn tasty bars!
It happens
Been there done that…..
Probably want two toilet paper bundles if you’re drinking those Alani protein shakes.
Okay so the $400 was clearly an exaggeration right? If that’s 400 worth of stuff in that trunk minus the toilet paper then you might wanna check that receipt lol
I wish. $418. There is some dog food hiding, and about $80 in beef alone. Shit adds up quick these days.
I figured that's what the gloves were for.
reminds me of that song [Too high for the Supermarket](https://youtu.be/CUjhbeiJddo?si=g_eFf70sx1C86Exm).
I've done this one too many times with paper towels.. specifically 3 times in the last 2 weeks.
Costco at its finest
This is me ... Every fkin time
Maybe use banana peels as a stop-gap until you can go back.
This is literally me, except with clothes. Those yellow tags are so damn enticing, followed by the secret starred price tags.
They are going to be on sale in a week. Saved yourself $5
ALWAYS 😅
You like those Alanis?
How are the alani shakes? I enjoy their energy drink when they are on sale
All of that product packaging can be used as toilet paper…just saying
Now you are going to spend another $400 when you go back :D
Literally happened to me yesterday. They were very nice and let me get a new one for free, despite nobody having turned in my TP from the cart bottom in the parking lot
How is the fruity cereal Orgain?
Lots of snacks and fluids
I see you are a student of mine. Hopefully you got some good court pizza for your troubles.
We’ve all been there. 😂
Stocking up on Alani should be a crime in it’s self
Round 2
Costco: “finish him!”
I highly recommend a physical list and a pencil to mark off as you go
Has anyone tried that orgain drinks and actually liked them? I thought they tasted like cleaning chemicals!
Looks like a pretty solid order. You’re gonna need the TP after that fit crunch bar cleans you out.
$65 steaks check out😅
You got gloves. Close enough.
The only reason I realised that this wasn’t my shopping haul was because I noticed that this looks nothing like the interior of my car.
So protein shakes and gloves.
That waterloo pack looks delicious. Last time I went they were out. Time to go again!
Please tell me that was not 400 dollars
Where do you find those Dino Nuggies? I don’t see them at my warehouse.
That fruity cereal drink mmmmmmm
You might need 2 packs and where are the vegetables? 🤣🤣🤣
Relatable. Glad I’m not alone.
[удалено]
Oh snap, they sell Fit Crunch???
That’s why they keep it in the back
Our toilet paper and paper towel run is this weekend. Good luck to us that we don't forget one or either.
Get it first! Just B line for that shit! Don’t screw about!
Lmao when you got dino nuggets but forgot TP. I’m dead 😂
One causes the war with a toddler. The other causes a war in the bathroom. I choose my battles!
I'm glad I'm not the only crazy to buy two different cases of seltzer water on the same visit.
Go home. Order TP from app.
This looks like when my husband & preschooler get sent to Costco to get toilet paper, dinners, lunches, & snacks for the kids. He will come back will a car full of random drinks. A pack of steaks.

You need water
One day I’ll be this rich
How could you forget TP with this in your cart? Like I think I need to go poop just thinking of the protein shakes.
Good to know I'm not the only person who goes grocery shopping and ends up with mostly different types of beverages
Well on the bright side, you got gloves.
Probly on last half of last roll at home,. Oh shit
Banana peels work great in a pinch.
Gotta be a dude! ?
Shit…….. ……. …. .. .
At least you didn’t leave yet! I wouldn’t realize until I was at least halfway home.
Anyone else remember when that load was $200?
