I canceled my Costco membership after a year. I loved the store, but it fueled my worst habits.

• I got a Costco membership at the end of 2021 but quickly realized the warehouse wasn't for me.
• I joined Costco to save money, but the bulk-buy structure enabled my worst shopping habits.
• The cost and amount of items I was bringing home eventually overwhelmed me.

The first time I tagged along on a friend's Costco run, I was so enchanted that I signed up for a membership right after checkout.
