It's odd to me thinking people consider Costco a grocery store. I realize they have groceries but that certainly isn't what I use it for.

Half the store is food - it's an excellent grocery store.

    It's much closer to a restaurant supply store that happens to be open to normal people.

    If I want to make tacos tonight, and I try to shop for that at Costco, I'm making tacos for a week or more. There's no small size of anything, which is the entire point.

    I cannot fathom the people who do weekly or so grocery shopping there. How can you possibly plan out a months worth of pantry for a family like that? It's a skill I certainly don't have but families did for millennia when running small farms and such. Maybe the Navy could teach me how.

      I'm a single person and I do almost all of my grocery shopping at Costco. I have a normal sized refrigerator, and a well stocked pantry. If you make tacos one night, make dishes the next three nights that use overlapping ingredients...
