A Cuban cannot believe what she paid for her first purchase at Costco for "four items": "I am suffering."

A young Cuban in the U.S. shares her surprise about the prices at Costco on TikTok, emphasizing that while it is said to be economical, shopping there can be expensive for tight budgets.


A young Cuban woman, apparently newly arrived, has caused a stir on social media after sharing her first experience in a Costco store in the United States.

In a video posted on her TikTok account, the user @dayarilis_95 reacted in astonishment to the final price of her purchase, showing the receipt to the camera while a friend recorded her.

"I'm suffering, and they still tell me that Costco is cheap. This is for millionaires, my love. I'm in the process and I still remain poor, and I'll continue to be even poorer," the young woman commented, while showing the products she had purchased alongside her friends.

With a tone that blended surprise and humor, the Cuban couldn't help but express disbelief upon seeing the cost: "Four items, 65 dollars," she said in the video, which has already garnered thousands of views and reactions on TikTok.

Many users felt identified with the experience, highlighting that while Costco may offer competitive prices when buying in bulk, it is not always cost-effective for those on tight budgets.
