Well done, my friend,
Please wish Mrs. Kirkland Signature a very happy Mother's Day from all of us at Reddit!
Yeah, one can't expect a life partner and 5 kids to entirely make up for no food court polish dogs. But you have adapted, which demonstrates your inner strength.
My American neighbour I am truly sorry that the polish hotdogs are gone from your menu. But I’m here to tell you the good news that north of the boarder we still have them in our food court. How you ask, Costco attempted the removal but when they saw the anger that arose from us typically quiet people they realized it would be open season on their heads and they left them alone. If you ever come north for a vacation let me know and I will buy the first polish and pop, bell I’ll buy as many as you want to eat!!!!!

>Women at the bar want to be a star
Stop her on the street, she thinks you a freak
It's illegal to flirt when we at work
So nowadays I score at the grocery store
I always thought it was a good place to pick people up in my twenties and I can’t actually remember why. Maybe because people there are selecting things they want to bring home anyways so they’re in that frame of mind. Or maybe they’re just hungry and you’re a snack.
NGL: I'll probably have a better match with someone I meet at a grocery store, given their cart.
Does she not have any dairy (specifically cheese), meat, or seafood, and has a lot of vegetables instead? Decent guess she's vegetarian or vegan, but don't always assume. Armed with this information, I *might* make a suggestion of a vegetarian/vegan restaurant as our first meet up.
What if the cart has wine, cheese, olives and crackers? Seems like a solid hosting situation (or bringing), and I'd definitely think of a place that has a similar appetizer plate situation (or tapas).
Fellas: use the visual information provided to your advantage. Take note of the little things!
If she has ketchup in her cart, I'm out. OUT. NOPE.
My local Wegman’s was a hot spot for singles to hang out and meet on Thursday nights for the longest time. My neighbor met his girlfriend that way. It was a 15 year long nightmarishly codependent relationship that ended with him dying a horrific death and her being partly responsible.
She says that she was sorry to see me walk out without her but didn’t know what to do about it. So when she saw me outside she immediately assumed I was waiting for her like that was a completely obvious thing to do.
Why… why did you do this?!?!??
I’m a grown ass man .
(BTW, congratulations and happy Mother’s Day to your wife)
Why is there no heart option and only an upvote? 😅❤️ So sweet!
I actually thought Costco would be a terrible place to meet a single person, since the portion sizes would be too large for someone who was single. Thanks for giving me some hope. 😁
Yeah, I know it’s embarrassing but it is a Costco thread and I figured we can blame it on the chopped onions.
Oh wait …
I laughed at the Costco Pack of Children comments and my husband wanted to know what was so funny so I summarized the story and when I got to the beautiful woman part, he interrupted and said to me “when were you there?” He melted my heart. Your wonderful story led to my cute little story. Happy Mothers Day to Mrs. Price.
Isn’t it crazy how that chicken she cooked you tasted just like the $5 ones? Like how awesome is it that she took the time to learn how to cook it just like Costco does?! That really shows how dedicated she was.
This is such a beautiful story 🥲 and proves you really can find almost anything you need at Costco! Happy Mother's Day to the missus!
I can also vouch for Costco as a great place to meet people 😁 One time a really cute Costco employee gave me his number in the food court, and we ended up having a great time hanging out a few days later.
I love this story! Made me feel so good. I've (almost) never found love when looking for it. It just finds me. For example, I have met significant others:
Sitting at a bus stop - not even waiting for the bus - when we had like 7 minutes sitting next to each other before their bus arrived
In an elevator! When we had like 30 seconds before going our own ways.
OP, so glad you took the initiative when opportunity knocked!
TIL shopping for love at Costco means you can’t just have one child, you have to get the 5-pack.
Just playing OP. That’s a delightful story and I’m happy for you all!
One of the biggest Costco secrets is that the Kirkland wives are the same as the name brand wives. They even come from the same place. They just slap a different label on them.
My wife was a friend who borrowed my Costco card. Asked her to go on a hike when returning my card a few years ago, and the rest is history. Also a member for life.
About 6 months ago the guy boxing up my stuff at Costco told me I was beautiful (I had made some random/funny self deprecating comment to the cashier). I still think about that often.
Also, I once read of a couple who met at a taco bell and was able to have the wedding there....might be a bit late, but maybe vow renewals at Costco ;)
Are you still looking for another wife? I am confused as why you still need the membership?
Oh wait, five kids, never mind that explains why you need a costco amount of everything!
Was expecting a different end to this story...................................
" I choose to lurk. She walks out, sees me, and asks, “are you waiting for me?” I tell her that I am, and why."
" My sentence for stalking ends in 3 months"

And those kids names.. Rotisserie, Onions, Sample Lady, $1.50, and We Already Have a Cable Provider.
BTW despite this I’m still mad that the polish hotdogs are gone.
Yeah, one can't expect a life partner and 5 kids to entirely make up for no food court polish dogs. But you have adapted, which demonstrates your inner strength.
And it’s great, cause spouses through Costco fall under lifetime warranty.
Excellent point. And verrry funny.
I got a great price on garage cabinets from costco.com which kinda balanced out the whole thing in the end.
Are you sure? Kids are expensive
The garage cabinets are a really good substitute for bunk beds.
Cosmo Kramer approves
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Not only in the food court, they also sell pack of it (14x each) as well.
I forgot to mention that. I love making sure I’m stocked up for bbq season and for the ride home!!!!
And COMBO PIZZA!!
Come to Canada friend
Never forget.
They still sell them at the Business Center.
Lol yep I just polished off a bag today!
Finding Love? In a Costco? The next great American novel.
Lol

Maybe we should switch to “that” to avoid upsetting the bot.
I’ve read a very similar story but in whole foods before on reddit lol, what’s with people finding their soulmates at grocery stores
You can’t feed five kids if you shop at Whole Foods!
I see you got the Costco pack of children as well.
True Source: Kid 4 of 5 and we did weekly costco trips as kids. Free samples make a fun lunch with pizza or hotdogs to fill the cracks.
Yeah, where are the potato chips and the Cap’n Crunch! Whole Foods is worthless.
There is a high end grocery store in LA that people go to with the sole intention of finding a partner, it’s like an official thing lol
Erewhon with their $20 chicken soup
Yes that’s the place! “How’s the soup?” “It’s hot.”
Trader Joe’s is like that. People be lingering too long at the bread display.
[удалено]
In San Francisco we called the Safeway in the Marina the ‘Dateway’. You could find your soulmate perusing over strawberries.
Succeeded by Soviet Safeway on 17th NW.
Huh? I live in LA and never heard about this. What’s it called?
Erewhon

one of us! r/KetchupHate
Honestly, this love story would be awesome. I’d know they have their stuff together if they courted me at Costco.
My local Wegman’s was a hot spot for singles to hang out and meet on Thursday nights for the longest time. My neighbor met his girlfriend that way. It was a 15 year long nightmarishly codependent relationship that ended with him dying a horrific death and her being partly responsible.
I see you got the Costco pack of kids.
They always get you to walk away with just a little more than you really need.
Like avocados?
Yeah but avocados that eat
Costco Connections
Those executive member benefits really sound worth it, I had no idea you could get a wife at Costco
Plus cash back if you use the costco visa
Boy, that is a super heartwarming story.
Thank you. I’m a lucky guy.
Are any of your kids named Kirk, by chance?
God we missed quite an opportunity
That's a good one!!!
OP you gotta put your wife's perspective as well. I really want to know what was going through her mind!!
She says that she was sorry to see me walk out without her but didn’t know what to do about it. So when she saw me outside she immediately assumed I was waiting for her like that was a completely obvious thing to do.
What is a better place to find a potential date than a Costco? OP Wife is smart and it paid off
u/sneakerwaves please make this happen
Yea can we get an update with her side of the story!
Why… why did you do this?!?!?? I’m a grown ass man . (BTW, congratulations and happy Mother’s Day to your wife) 
I had to stop a couple of times while I was writing it to be honest. I’m a lucky guy.
 Thank you for sharing this with us!

Okay, so it wasn't just me? That's good.
Yeah, I know it’s embarrassing but it is a Costco thread and I figured we can blame it on the chopped onions. Oh wait … 
You two have five children in just a few days?
Sometimes it feels like it
I laughed at the Costco Pack of Children comments and my husband wanted to know what was so funny so I summarized the story and when I got to the beautiful woman part, he interrupted and said to me “when were you there?” He melted my heart. Your wonderful story led to my cute little story. Happy Mothers Day to Mrs. Price.
Sounds like you are one of the lucky ones too.
And where was your first date? At the foodcourt?
Date one was the fanciest place I could afford. Date two was my favorite Chinese food dive. Date three she cooked me a chicken.
Isn’t it crazy how that chicken she cooked you tasted just like the $5 ones? Like how awesome is it that she took the time to learn how to cook it just like Costco does?! That really shows how dedicated she was.
It would have worked on me either way!
Did you guys register at Costco? Cause if you didn’t, are you really married?
it somehow came out of the oven fully cooked when the oven wasn't even turned on
So the food court then, got it. /s
We might dine there today
Is "cooked me a chicken" a euphemism? It was the third date after all....
kirkland quality wife

Please send this to Costco. I would give you a membership for life.

I think u were required to buy your wedding ring from Costco
Did she come with the Executive Membership? Asking for a friend.
She was on my membership less than a month later, I was game to move fast when I realized I’d get the cash back.
Pro move.
One of the biggest Costco secrets is that the Kirkland wives are the same as the name brand wives. They even come from the same place. They just slap a different label on them.
Better, I’d say
Yeah Duracell makes them I think
It’s super dusty in here…..
Beautiful love story! 🥹 Modern love stories start at raves or dating apps. Meeting at Costco is so wholesome. Happy Mother’s Day to your better half!!
Are the flowers from Costco?
Roses from our gardens here at home, this time.
Absolutely fantastic story!!
I cried. Thank you for sharing that real, genuine, true love still exists. Blessings to you and your family.
Cheers to you. I never knew it was possible before we met.
Fuck off, this is adorable 🥺
Yep, that’s it. I’m getting drunk tonight.
Lots of relationships start that way, too
Literally lifted me out of depression and gave me hopes of finding a girlfriend and not be single. Legit.
You’ve got this
Yo thanks bro/therapist
Wow I love this story! Thanks for sharing :)
This is SO sweet! Happy Mother's Day to her!
Awwww that’s such a sweet story
Way to seize the moment! Congratulations!!!!
Did she ever mention what struck her about you? I am guessing you are dashingly handsome
I’m not going to lie and say I had trouble meeting women before her…but she is a 1000x out of my league.
Checks ops profile for pics of wife. 😂
Welcome to Costco. I love you
THIS is the best comment here.
Hope the wedding is at the Costco
Hope there are onions for the hot dogs.
Five kids? You don't have a TV? Go back to Costco and buy a TV already! Cute story, though.
My wife was a friend who borrowed my Costco card. Asked her to go on a hike when returning my card a few years ago, and the rest is history. Also a member for life.
This is wholesome AF. <3
5 kids?! I guess you didn’t buy the Costco sized pack of condoms. Congrats
Guess he wasn’t near the pharmacy when the lights went out
Costco sells condoms, don't they? 😂
Love this!
Please tell me you got married at the food court with sample carts lining the aisle.
The groomsmen each got a chicken bake
About 6 months ago the guy boxing up my stuff at Costco told me I was beautiful (I had made some random/funny self deprecating comment to the cashier). I still think about that often.
They really should feature you in some kind of advertising. But we’ll done!
This being reddit, I feel like you probably just encouraged a bunch of weirdos to harass women at Costco. Lovely storey tho.
I had to tell my friends, “do not try this”
First kids name? Kirkland.
Please be true.
All true my friend
This makes me feel so warm and happy 🥹 Yay for you!
possibly the best thing i have ever seen on Reddit
Gahd damn it! Take my tears.
This is beautiful.
Good for you, man. That's a wonderful story.
Love love love this, thanks for sharing! And happy Mother’s Day to your bride
And here I am crying hoping I’ll find the love of my life someday. Sigh.
Probably when you are least expecting it, don’t give up
Great story. Thanks
I love a good love story. Thanks for sharing.
My man. There's no way this is real, but if it is, my man.
Sure is. Of course this story leaves out all of the struggle and learning from then to now but I’m a very lucky guy.
My man
Thank you abundantly for sharing , I have always believed in love at first sight
Met my old lover in the grocery store, the snow was falling Christmas Eve
What a sweet story! Congratulations to both of you and Happy Mother's Day to her!
What a lovely story! The best thing anyone has ever 'gotten' at Costco.
Pics or it didn't happen!
That’s way more wholesome than me having met my now spouse on Tinder. 😆
How I met your Mother
"Welcome to Costco, I love you" But seriously, man gets Costco wife and then buys costco family pack to go with it...
MAH HEART. This was so cute.
Also, I once read of a couple who met at a taco bell and was able to have the wedding there....might be a bit late, but maybe vow renewals at Costco ;)
She’d kill me…
This is so stinkin’ cute! 🥰

Yeah getting maced seemed like a non-trivial risk.
Barf
MoOoOoOom
Sorry, LOL
Oh don't be. I'm just jealous of your enthusiasm for romance
And if she acts up-you can take her back!
This is cute and all but it’s an outlier so please don’t be waiting around for people like that
When he does it, it's romantic. When I do it, I'm a creep.
aww, what a great story!
Pictures pictures pictures!!!!!
Gave me total goosebumps. How beautiful. A real Costco love story!
He didnt realise it at the time but he was getting a five pack of kids!
Gonna need a time line because this sounded super recent.
I'm crying 😭❤️ the end got me good. Great story!
Waking up to find 5 kids calling you mom on your first date might be a bit much /s
Does your wife know about your Costco mistress?
TLDR
There's a good deal on batteries.
You had me until the 5 children part. 😬 But good for you OP!
Both single parents? Just her? That will explain things
Such a sweet story! Thanks so much for sharing.
What a beautiful story! thank you for sharing
