This version of a Costco shopping list keeps it real.
For American moms, Costco and similar bulk grocery stores hold a special place in their hearts. Where else can you snag a month’s worth of toilet paper without breaking the bank? Need cereal enough to feed an army? Costco is your go-to. The creative minds behind “I Mom So Hard” have unveiled the most spot-on shopping list, and honestly, we can’t get enough.
While a trip to Costco can feel like a glorious adventure, there are moments when you find yourself questioning, “Why on earth would anyone need that much of anything?” It’s all too easy to grab items that seem brilliant in-store, only to find them gathering dust—or worse, mold—just days later.
That’s why this Instagram post is sheer perfection. From the “50-pound bag of trail mix that will never be touched” to the “box of chicken nuggets that’s comically oversized for my freezer,” it perfectly encapsulates my love-hate relationship with my beloved bulk store. I’d definitely add my obsession with their cheese section, because, of course!
I’ve mastered the art of justifying ridiculous purchases (I may or may not have been swindled by the allure of “way too much chicken salad” a few times) only to come home and realize my family is a bunch of wasteful little gremlins. The mention of “Magnum of Head & Shoulders for my partner” and “tent?” is spot on. And who hasn’t left Costco with enough wine to fill a vineyard or some “gag-worthy vitamins” from the health section? They strategically place those near the checkout, making it easy to convince yourself that you deserve something “nutritious” after all that shopping, right?
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I need to head out for a 90-day supply of dino nuggets, a six-pack of thrillers, and enough K-cups to create a mini landfill.
