Many Costco customers head to the food court for a snack before shopping around the massive warehouse. Now one woman is showing an ingenious way to free up your hands while maximizing how many snacks you can enjoy.
In a video with over 2.1 million views, TikToker Steph (@djcrudele) holds up a blue shower caddy, which is typically used to hold toiletries like body wash, shampoo, and conditioner.
However, she uses it for something else when she goes to Costco.
How Does She Use the Shower Caddy In Costco?
She places two drinks and several food court items, like a chocolate chip cookie, a chicken bake, and more in the other two compartments. Then, she places the shower caddy in the child seat of the shopping cart.
On-screen text reads, “Can’t make a Costco trip without the shower caddy.”
The caption continues, “protect the $1.50 wieners people (I love u @Costco Wholesale).”
In the comments, viewers said they plan to buy a shower caddy for their next Costco trip.
“Ok looks like I need to go to the store to get a shower caddy just for our Costco trips!!! Each of my grandsons always want their own hotdog!” one viewer commented.
A second said, “They need to attach these to carts, you’re a genius.”
“You should get an honorary engineer degree from Harvard for this,” another joked.
Does She Have A Costco Pizza Hack, Too?
In a follow-up video, Steph replies to a comment asking her to figure out a hack for toting around a Costco pizza. They remarked that she should “work for NASA.”
Steph holds up a square, plastic craft container with several paper plates inside.
“I don’t really see why you couldn’t stack your pizza in here,” she says, shuffling the plates. She suspects that the container would hold “at least three” slices of pizza.
Shoppers Share Other Costco Hacks
In the comments of a post on the r/Costco subreddit, other Costco members shared clever ways they’ve upgraded their shopping experiences.
“I finally put a small cooler in the trunk. Now all I have to do is grab couple of cool packs on the way out,” a viewer said, sharing how they keep food cool.
“Always hit the food court BEFORE you start shopping. Helps control impulse buying of yummy looking snacks,” a second suggested.
Others shared how they carry their food court items around the store.
“Get a shallow box to help carry your food at the food court. I’ve seen others reuse the drink holder trays from fast food places to help them carry drinks,” one wrote.
Another said, “We always get a box that holds the Kirkland nuts cause it’s so sturdy to carry out our food!”
