Bulk buying at Costco
I came upon this amusing blog post by Allena Dillon on her blog and was transported back to last summer when I had a peak in my mums store cupboard. Stacked up in uniform order was colossal jars of Rowse Manuka Honey, epic sized bottles of Nandos extra hot chili sauce and a mountain of quilted toilet paper. Was she preparing for the next nuclear war or the apocalypse? No, she had just been to Costco.
Costco is an American brand of warehouse selling anything from dietary supplements, security cameras and holidays to buying your very own funeral casket available in a variety of mournful colours. Bulk buying is their moto. Don’t bother going there if you’re single, a couple sans children or a die hard minimalist. Costco only attracts and encourages swarms of families with a football team of children to clothe and feed and the fanatical hoarder.
I wonder what the rate of hoarding is since Costco opened up. I assume it to have more than doubled and judging by the scene in the store cupboard that day, the disease has already permeated my family.
*After posting this entry, my sister emailed to inform me that they were actually in Costco getting their eyes checked at the optician. As I mentioned before, they are obsessed by the monstrosity that is Costco. Her emailed only proved my point.
