## 4. Your Refrigerator Space Matters
The size of Costco products can be one of their greatest advantages — and occasionally one of their biggest inconveniences.
Before buying a large container of milk, consider whether your refrigerator has enough space for it.
This sounds obvious, but it’s easy to overlook when you’re walking through a warehouse surrounded by attractive bulk deals.
A large milk container can take up a significant amount of refrigerator shelf space.
If you’re already storing leftovers, fresh produce, drinks, dairy products, and other groceries, fitting everything comfortably may become a challenge.
This is particularly important after a large Costco shopping trip.
A warehouse cart can quickly fill with bulk purchases, but everything still has to fit inside your refrigerator when you get home.
