While people are usually excited to visit waterparks, holiday destinations or tourist landmarks, it was Costco that got Jackie O excited during her first-ever visit to the retailer on Saturday morning, November 11.
Accompanied by her 12-year-old daughter Kitty and multiple employees from the Kyle and Jackie O Show that she co-hosts, the radio star had a ball in the store.
Between the telescopes, inflatable Christmas decorations and huge packs of toilet paper it was a box of light bulbs that initially and ultimately left the star shocked.

“We’re gonna be here for hours,” she says in a clip of her trip posted to Instagram.
Soon after, she notices the light bulbs and quips: “You can get like 500 light bulbs” between giggles, her eyes wide.
“I’d never seen a box so large in my life,” she said of the light bulbs in a later Monday radio segment on the Kyle and Jackie O Show.

In the segment the co-hosts recalled the shopping trip, Jackie O confessing her daughter’s fascination with the store inspired the store visit.
“She hears about Costco all the time on TikTok because it’s very American I’m assuming, so every influencer is always like ‘So I got this from Costco'” she says.
“She’s always wondered, what is Costco, what does it sell, must sell anything and everything – so off we went.”

A pork knuckle, goggles, a tennis racquet and a kayak were among other things the radio host left with, claiming that the trip was ‘like having sex’.
Speaking to her excessive buy, her co-host Kyle Sandilands poked fun at Jackie O for “preparing for a nuclear war”.
“What about the doomsday box of food you bought?” Sandilands quipped.
“If there’s a nuclear war, Jackie’s garage is the place to go.”

The membership-only retailer currently only has 15 warehouses in Australia, but upcoming stores and potential future sites could see that grow to 20 over the next five years.
Last month Costco Warehouse Australia managing director Patrick Noone said the retailer has several hotspot locations where it is looking for good sites.
