My husband and I have lunch dates at Costco because it's our only time together. It's not glamorous, but the price is right.
Briefly

Amid a hectic family life filled with work and children's activities, a couple discovers that their weekly trips to Costco provide valuable alone time. Despite their busy schedules and the evolution from romantic dinners to shopping trips, they prioritize time spent together over traditional romantic outings. Initially, dating was challenging due to childcare costs, but the demands increased with their kids’ activities over the years. By making the most of these Costco outings, they enjoy a meal together while saving money through bulk shopping, blending practicality with precious moments as a couple.
"When our kids were younger, it was hard to go out on dates because babysitters were expensive and tough to find... However, as our kids entered their teen years, they became busier with activities."
"We decided to forgo romance and focus on 'us time.' We found that escaping to Costco... offered the best opportunity to not just stock our fridge but also grab a quick meal together."
