10 Things I Hate about Costco:: A Romantic Comedy

  1. I hate that I have to show you my Costco membership card when I walk in.Isn’t it obvious that I’m a member?!  I’m wearing my Kirkland leggings with my 32 Degrees sweatshirt that I clearly bought here!
  1. I hate that I didn’t get my fiddle leaf fig tree.
    CostcoBut I guess I’ll settle for a pair of MASSIVE and beautiful mum plants.
  1. I hate that you know me better than I know myself.
    Yes, I did need that rain barrel. I’m just sad now that I didn’t buy two!
  1. I hate that I can buy reasonably priced Adidas shoes for my husband.And Sperry’s and Pumas and all sorts of other great shoes.
  1. I hate that you provide me and my child delicious snacks while I shop.The abundance of Costco samples counts as a meal right?!
  1. I hate that when I have no idea what to do for dinner you step up.You step up with a delicious, large, inexpensive, and easy meal for me to pick up last minute for my dinner tonight—$8.99 take n bake pizzas are my FAVORITE!
  1. I hate that you always have fresh and ripe produce.
    But seriously, how do you have fresh blueberries that don’t cost an arm and a leg all year long?!
  1. I hate that if I need a child’s gift for a birthday party I can always count on you.
    You’ve saved the day multiple times when I forgot about that birthday party tomorrow.
  1. I hate your return policy.
    You mean you’ll take anything back no questions asked?!  THANK YOU!!!

But mostly…

  1. I hate the way I don’t hate you. Not even close, not even a little bit, not even at all.

Costco, you sure know how to treat a gal. 

Thank you for knowing me better than I know myself.  Keep up the great work with your adult popsicles, bulk Vodka, cases of Truly, and delicious wine—these are the things moms really need.

Hi I’m Jamie. I’m originally from Aurora, CO. I moved to Nebraska to attend Hastings College to where I ran into my husband while running on the Track Team. I have my Ph.D in Economics and work at the University of Nebraska at Omaha as an Assistant Professor of Economics and Director of the Center for Economic Education. As a professor I teach economics to college students and research economic education and financial literacy education. As the Director of the Center for Economic Education I get to work with the Omaha and surrounding area K-12 teachers and teach them how to teach economics and personal finance in a fun and engaging way. Economics has a bad rep and I’m here to change that! We have two kids--my daughter Vella is 3 1/2 and my son Brook is 9 months old! I have a fur baby puggle named Rodgers (the Wagners are cheeseheads). We are a family that loves the outdoors and being active!
