On a recent trip to Costco I realized my problem with the place. The supersized packaging turns generally good looking food into a monstrosity. I can't help but feel like a glutton when I see a block of cheese the size of my torso or frozen dumplings that could last me through the next year.
Of course Costco isn't all bad. The gigundo lotion containers, nature valley bars, and sample sections are pretty sweet. However, the mass quantities of meat or cheese can certainly make my stomach start doing somersaults.
And what about the people that fill up an entire shopping cart full of food? Are they saving up for the Apocalypse or are they seriously that hungry? Come on people - no wonder America has weight issues. Nobody needs two tons of chips or a massive box of brownie mix. Did you ever wonder how they came up with the nickname Two-Ton Tessie? Glad I cleared that up for you.
Honestly, I think Costo, Sams, and Walmart Supercenters are great. You can do some wonderful bargain shopping, but just because everthing they sell is in large, unbelievable, rhino-sized quantities, does not justify the need to buy the store. Try a little balance on for size. It could do the body good.
