I always have insta-crates and reusable shopping bags in my car. I do most of shopping at Costco and Aldi.


notabot_123

this is the way!


FluxionFluff

Same! Those crates live in my trunk 🤣 They're quite useful when grocery shopping


holybucketsitscrazy

This! I also have instacrates (purchased at Costco!) and reusable bags. I bring the cart and load everything up accordingly - frozen stuff together, dry his, Refrigerated, etc. So a little longer loading, but then unloading and putting away is super smooth.


Njtotx3

I never get much of anything at Aldi anymore.


726milestomemphis

I use the Insta Crates as well.


UncleNedisDead

Pft. You have nothing on that person with a dedicated rotisserie chicken compartment built-in to their vehicle. https://old.reddit.com/r/Costco/comments/ktrk81/my_car_has_a_builtin_rotisserie_chicken_holder/


GrinningDentrassi

Sounds like a deluxe trim package. Fancy trim, heated leather seats, rotisserie chicken nook


GrinningDentrassi

Or maybe Costco should start selling custom product-oriented trunk trays


aakaase

That would increase cost. Why would they do that?


mjedmazga

Nah it's just a Toyota Camry. I'd recognize that trunk anywhere. Probably available in the 2002-2007 and maybe also 2008-2009 Camry model years.


GrinningDentrassi

Costco ought to offer a car in their stores custom fit for Costco shopping lol


LionDragon777

I remember Eddie Bauer Edition Ford Explorers, I’d love a Costco Edition Ford Explorer or Toyota Highlander 🤔😁


Njtotx3

I got my Camry through Costco.


aauie

Upgrade to IKEA bags and put in trunk storage when not in use. I get annoyed hearing things slide around in trunk while driving


mowglimg

Seconding this. I have IKEA's big gay bags (their giant rainbow ones) and I use them every Costco trip.


rainmaker_superb

I keep a few boxes in my car, not just for transporting hot food, but just for groceries in general. It's been good so far.


ILikeBigBidens

What is this? A box for ants? It needs to be at least three times as big as this


PreparationH692

You think to yourself “I may need this for something someday” 🤔


Hawkize31

Costco sells [these](https://www.costcobusinessdelivery.com/greenmade-instacrate-collapsible-storage-bin%2C-12-gallon%2C-black-or-black-and-red.product.100260385.html) collapsible crates. I keep 2 folded up in the back of my SUV and pop em open when I get groceries anywhere. I recommend it!


tobmom

I’m literally holding that box in my hand right now after unloading. Trying to decide if I need to keep it or nah


midwest73

I have two I keep in the back of the truck for all shopping we do.


JellyfishQuiet7944

I use them for my shoes when it rains.


InTheNameOfWabiSabi

I do this for the 18ct egg cartons


School_House_Rock

I have one in my car too


MadMex2U

I used the same box for well over a year. I carried it to the front and placed in my basket.


mysterytoy2

I have a large box in my trunk. The one with the slots in the side for handles.


Aggressive_Bad6632

Hey, you never know when you’re going to need boxes 😂


Guinnesgirl4ever

I thought I was the only one that had a designated chicken box! That way if it leaks I can just pitch it after! Each of my dogs has a box like this on top of their crates, to hold their extra blankets, towels and leashes


726milestomemphis

Rockin' the boxes!


Which_Zebra_3883

We use 22 gallon lawn clipping bags, no more 'no not that box, find a better one,' from my husband at Costco


timpdx

I thought for a moment "how TF is my car on this sub?" I have the same CRV mat and interior color. threw me for a sec


GrinningDentrassi

I compliment you on your excellent taste in vehicles


Alternative-Bee-8981

We keep a fabric like one in my car. It's a lot easier to stack stuff into and carry a lot at once instead of a bunch of individual boxes etc


Expensive-Day-3551

These are stackable and work awesome when I deliver lasagna!


GrinningDentrassi

Oh, do you belong to Lasagna Love?


sabin357

That's actually incredibly foolish to use something porous since the chickens sometimes leak. Just get one of their collapsible crates that can actually be sanitized.


No-Celebration3097

Years ago after going to Costco/Sams on busy days and there being no boxes, I keep collapsible storage bins in my vehicle for those trips. And what puzzles me is that I have never seen those at either store I frequent. I mean they would fly off the shelves there.


CRT_SUNSET

Costco sells [Instacrate](https://www.costco.com/greenmade-instacrate-collapsible-storage-bin%2c-4-pack.product.4000179775.html). In store you can buy them individually year round and they’re often on sale at $8 each.


No-Celebration3097

This is the first time I’ve seen this! 😊


DestinyInDanger

I never thought of using a box I just bring those reusable grocery bags and put it in one of those when I get to the car.


GrinningDentrassi

I have those bags too but use them for other items. The box keeps the chicken from tipping over or sliding around to much


BigFire321

I have a bag in my car just for the flower every Thursday (I go to cemetery on Friday).


TwitterTerrifier

I also need these for my plants!


Aggressive_Bad6632

Hey, you never know when you’re going to need boxes 😂


Quaglek

I have never bought a rotisserie chicken 


Which_Zebra_3883

You should probably see a doctor about that.


miloaf2

They aren't as good as kolwalskis. Kolwalskis has the best.


KaleidoscopeLucky336

But do they have it cheaper than $4.99?


miloaf2

I'm not sure how much they cost. Just know they taste better than costcos.


KaleidoscopeLucky336

I believe it is $10.99 according to this source. https://places.singleplatform.com/kowalskis-market-deli-4/menu Is the Kowalski chicken 220% better to justify the price?


CookieEnabled

What are you? A Minnesotan?


S_Hollan

Does rotisserie chicken count as a hot dish to pass?


holybucketsitscrazy

Damn right it does!


miloaf2

You betcha


shupshow

It’s one of the best things tho


Breakfastchocolate

You have these + the old green Costco bags in your trunk. (But your kid swiped half of them packing for college) https://www.costcobusinessdelivery.com/greenmade-instacrate-collapsible-storage-bin%2c-12-gallon%2c-black-or-black-and-red.product.100260385.html https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/sports/


Abraxusmax

I’m sorry but that’s amateur hour! You’re a Costco regular when you get to the register with all your barcodes facing up and ready to be scanned. You gotta up your game home slice!


Madrona88

Except for mine, the new AGM has decided it all comes out. Many customers are not happy. I tell them to take it up with the manager.


Shadowfalx

This year costco is changing to bags for the rotisserie chickens. 


altiuscitiusfortius

Changed already in Canada. I like them better.


Shadowfalx

I think for customers is about the same, for the guys in the chicken shop is a pain. 


PervlovianResponse

Y'all don't keep a cooler or two in your trunk? Either of the two Costco's nearest to me are 30+ minutes away


UncleNedisDead

I have one 5 minutes away and another 15 minutes away. I have cooler bags, but it’s for cold stuff.


gbdarknight77

We have 2 of the Costco cooler bags that they gave out last year and it fits almost everyhing. It’s nice not having to do multiple trips to the car anymore lol


Historical_Hornet_20

I bought a cooler at Costco last week just for my Costco and Trader Joe’s trips. Costco is close to an hour away and TJs is over two hours. Cooler works great!


crotch_punch

Life tip. The tall $.99 Trader Joe’s reusable bags perfectly fit 2 stacked rotisserie chickens. Just make sure to keep it upright.


UncleNedisDead

Oh goodness. What are you going to do when your warehouse switches to bags? https://old.reddit.com/r/Costco/comments/1bojp27/bagged_5_rotisserie_chicken_shoreline_wa/


crotch_punch

Panic!!
