There should be a Costco for single people!
I am sick of hearing about how couples and families save so much money shopping at Costco, and I cant. I suppose I could save if I wanted to gang up with another single person. But I don't want to. I want to be able to get discounted stuff in quantities that will not take over my one bedroom apartment. I don't want to have to buy something and then have to squirrel away 50 rolls of toilet paper in every nook of my apartment. I think there is merit to this singles only bulk shopping. OR have singles only shopping day at Costco! It could be sort of like the whole speed dating (which I am totally against) thing, kinda. It would work like this: Twice a month, singles nite (note the "casual" night spelling, draws out the singles) shopping. Lower the fluorescent lights, perhaps some aromatherapy and of course cocktails. The cocktails will work two ways. Singles will be more inclined to mingle and eventually get drunk enough to buy more than they normally would. Or buy things they normally wouldn't. HELLO Costco! You wont have to worry when Sally wonders why she bought a Weber grill for her tiny patio-less apartment. She might even remember talking to the cute guy in the grill area. Hmmmm. Also, singles will be able to employ the "what does he/she have in her cart" method of potential date selection. In my world, a guy with a pile of CD's and books, a couple of bottles of wine and various booze, perhaps some food (no clothes! Do not shop for clothes at Costco! Ever!)...this would be a potential guy worth talking to. So there you have it people. Are you listening Costco??? Do you feel me???
