Looking at my credit card statement for the past 30 day period, I was appalled to see how many different charges there were to Costco, our local “Warehouse Club” store – 6 in a month’s time! (Depending on your location, you local warehouse club store might be Costco, BJ’s Wholesale Club, or Sam’s Club).
Obviously I have a problem: How many times in one month do you need to stock up on a packages of items that would supply, say, a small military base, when there are only two humans living in your house?
Dear Costco,
I hate to do this by letter but if I see you in person, I will not be able to be strong (I would grab a cheap frozen yogurt from your snack bar and start running through your aisles looking for all the things I do not need).
I have to take some time off in our relationship. I am not sure if I want to permanently break up or just have a “cooling off period”.
Things have gotten too intense in our relationship and I have been spending much way too time with you than is healthy (financially).
I will miss your 80+ jars of pickles (when I only wanted a couple pickles), and your triple super duper size packaging of items that would take me a lifetime to consume. Most of all I will miss your fantasy-electronics-section with its 60, 70, 80, 200 inch TVs with infinity edge 3D screens showing glimpses of what ultimate TV viewing could entail.
But I must be strong. I hope you can carry on and stay open without me.
Sincerely,
Tierney
