Mom Blames Costco for Fueling Six Daily Snack Meals, Bananas Included
KEY POINTS
- •Allison Lau visits Costco regularly as an 11-year executive member to buy snacks for her family.
- •She and her toddler consume multiple snacks daily, including bananas, WildRoots trail mix, and Amara's smoothie melts.
- •Her multigenerational household shares snacks like Hawaiian kettle chips and hidden Hershey’s nuggets from the toddler.
Allison Lau, a Costco executive member of 11 years, confessed that her toddler, husband, and she have turned into a snack-consuming trio fueled by Costco’s snack aisle like an unofficial food cult. Their sacred staples range from $1.99 bunches of bananas (3-5 eaten daily, no less) to WildRoots Coastal Berry trail mix at $10.49 a 26-ounce bag, which her family hoards so intensely it resembles a small dragon's treasure. Amara's smoothie melts, adored by the toddler, cost $12.59 on sale for 20 pouches—bulk buying mandatory as toddler snack amounts now approach food group status. Yoggies probiotic yogurt strawberries, Tropical Fields' $8.89 organic crispy coconut rolls, and $13.49 packs of 30 probiotic berries round out her snack fortress, while her mother-in-law snacks on chips espousing sweet-spicy pineapple flavors, and she herself hoards Hershey’s nuggets, hidden to avoid toddler raids. It’s not just shopping; it’s Costco-fueled survival in the toddler/pregnancy snack trenches, proving adults can be terrible life drivers when faced with snack aisle temptations.
