10 Reasons You Should Never Let Your Partner Tackle Costco Alone

Every couple has their shopping dynamics, but there’s one universal truth: sending your partner to Costco solo can be a recipe for chaos. Here’s a light-hearted look at why you should always accompany your husband on those big box store excursions.

  1. The Electronics Trap: It’s hard for most men to resist the siren call of discounted electronics. Once they step into that section, temptation strikes, and before you know it, you’re the proud owner of a flat-screen TV you didn’t need.
  2. Unnecessary Sports Gear: Your husband might come home with tennis rackets and a mountain of tennis balls, despite the fact that no one in your family has ever picked up a racket.
  3. Diving into Scuba Gear: If he sees a scuba set and wetsuit, he might buy them just because they’re there—regardless of the fact that you live nowhere near the ocean.
  4. Cheesecake Overload: A sample of that delicious 10-pound cheesecake can lead to an impulsive purchase, even if you’re both trying to eat healthier.
  5. Cookie Dough Dilemma: Imagine your partner returning with two tubs of cookie dough, all because they were on sale, while you’re trying to stick to your diet and your fridge is bursting at the seams.
  6. The Paper Shredder Dream: No household truly needs an industrial-sized paper shredder, but that won’t stop him from buying one simply because it was a good deal.
  7. Crouton Conundrum: Picture him coming home with a 5-pound bag of organic croutons. If you’re not running a restaurant, good luck finding a place to store them!
  8. Holiday Decor Madness: A 6-foot tall, inflatable musical snow globe might seem like a festive idea, but do you really need that on your lawn?
  9. Sheds Galore: Even if you already have a shed, he might be tempted to snag another one simply because it was “too cheap to pass up.”
  10. Burger Roll Bonanza: Your husband could easily return with 200 hamburger buns for a dinner when there are only four people in your household. What are you supposed to do with 196 leftover buns?

After a few solo runs, I quickly learned that the allure of Costco can lead to some questionable purchases. While I appreciate a bargain, sometimes the items my husband brings home are more than we can manage.
