Dudes shopping? What's next helping around the house ?
How about wife makes over 6 figures....this dude works some, when I want to, sleeps late a lot, drinks too much, plays way too many video games, and really doesn't mind shopping a little, turning on the dishwasher or making a dinner or two (as long as it's on a BBQ).

Enjoy your time working...think about me out driving

So you let your wife or mom pick out your clothes?

Costco member here. They're great for things like paper goods, produce, liquor, electronics. Just have to be careful cause they have some good deals there and you'll wind up buying crap you don't need.

Also, our Costco sells gas and they are typically at least $.10/gallon cheaper than the cheapest gas station. Your membership pays for itself in the gas savings alone.
You would have to buy 450 gallons of gas to break even on the cost of the membership at ten cents a gallon...their price here (Brighton, MI) is sometimes higher than it is around Ann Arbor. Distance to both areas...about 10 miles.

At 20, I have recently graduated from letting my mom buy me my clothes. Now she just gives me the money for it


Oh and my dad buys clothes from Costco. He buys everything from Costco. Everything...

They're not that much cheaper, in some cases other local grocery stores are cheaper.

I get my shell'd seafood at Meijers.


Although i'm not one, there's nothing wrong with being a soccer dad if you can afford to be one.

You don't buy that much gas annually? I definitely do. Filling up the tank every week for one car will do that.

Albertson's used to sell paper towels as a loss leader in Lafayette. We don't have Costco here, but Sam's is close. My mom really went to Albertson's for paper towels alone, and then fell for their trap. You will almost always find something cheaper somewhere else.
