I joined Costco to save money but quickly realized that the bulk-buy structure enabled my worst shopping habits. The cost and amount of items I brought home overwhelmed me.
At first, being able to buy in bulk helped me plan ahead and stock up on supplies. But if I wanted to try something new, I faced a significant financial and spatial risk.
It became really easy to waste food and money. If I can't see an item when I open my fridge or pantry, I completely forget it's there.
Buying in bulk was initially appealing, but it led to over-purchasing and eventually waste, which I hadn't experienced to this degree before my Costco membership.
