We don’t know what the statistic is on this, but we didn’t have a Costco membership until we were married. Therefore, our whole relationship with Costco happened when we were in a relationship.
Pre-relationship, we didn’t see any possible reason to need bulk sizes of anything. With a significant other and kids to boot, suddenly bulk started to seem like just the right size. If only we had a bulk size pantry.
Now, we all know that Costco size means huge, year-long supply of everything from flour to vodka popsicles as well at electronics, theme park tickets, and don’t forget all the samples! Are we the only ones who make a meal out of Costco samples?
Another quirk about Costco is that we often see couples and even whole families going there to shop together. Have you ever heard snippets of what other couples say to each other while shopping at Costco? It can be amusing because it’s so relatable.
Here are 15 tweets that perfectly sum up the experience of shopping at Costco with your significant other.

We’ve been there. It’s easy to make a game plan. It’s much harder to resist the temptation that is Costco.

Do You Really Need That?
At this point, my husband and I only go to Costco just to push around a giant cart and say “ehhh don’t know if you need that” to whatever the other one wants to get.

I will get my wife whatever she wants for Valentine’s Day as long as they have it at Costco.

Supposedly, there is no such thing as a “better” slice of pizza at Costco.
