You probably have discovered so many little things we take for granted or we thought it would be "ok", when somewhat disabled temporarily, but not really.. For volume of shopping each time, because I can only bike or carry a certain amount, it is always little tiered cart I like twirling through a store. **I think my single friend with her broken leg healing, probably realizes she's incredibly lucky/relieved that she coincided her return to CAnada from Taiwan vacation, back to her Calgary vacation 1-level condo here for 3 months, instead of immediately to her Toronto, 3-level semi-detached home where she also lives solo. For her own sanity, at this time, goes over next door to a bakery-sandwich-cafe. In Toronto, she would not have a similar biz that close, without needing to walk another 15 min. somewhere from home.

Kirby Posted March 8 Share #3 Posted March 8 Even with two working arms, those carts are huge. I guess they want you to fill them up, but they're definitely much bigger than your average grocery store cart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisL Posted March 8 Share #5 Posted March 8 Navigating Costco on weekends is freaking nuts with all those people pushing those big ass carts around. I had a lady crash one into my achillies one time, I about came unglued… 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will last us about 2 months…. We go to Costco often for various reasons & if we can avoid getting a cart we will. Much more nimble without one… 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a PITA getting around but I really like their pharmacy techs. Really helpful unlike CVS but CVS is around the corner & has a drive through.

Longjohn ★ Posted March 8 Share #10 Posted March 8 I’ve never been to a Costco but I would think they would have those electric carts for handicap people. They are easy to drive one handed. Sometimes it’s hard to get one because all the fatticaps are using them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea where the closest one is, maybe Pittsburgh? I dislike the whole idea of paying to shop. My father in law bought us a Sam’s club membership when we lived near one. I wasn’t impressed with anything but the size of it. I never bought gas there either. I wasn’t going to wait in line to save one dollar on a tank of gas. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parsnip Totin Jack ★ Posted March 8 Share #15 Posted March 8 2 hours ago, petitepedal said: Zyrtec and lemon pepper cos the sample with it was yummy I didn’t know Zyrtec came in a lemon pepper version. Costco carts are huge and built for taller people. I prefer shopping on Thursday nights between 7 and 8 pm. Not so many fuckwits at that hour. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At 6'3", I can actually lean on the Costco cart handle when there's a long checkout line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groupw Posted March 11 Share #18 Posted March 11 They are a handful when only 1 wing is healthy. As I was healing, I found I could lean over, rest my good arm in the baby seat, and steer with pressure from my elbow and wrist crosswise, if that makes sense.
