I know it's the second Costco related thing I've posted on this, but it's a pretty big deal.

If these MAGA turds want to try to boycott, I'll laugh my ass off because this one of the best performing retail stocks in the US in the past 20 years.

Is this boycott being pushed by US MAGAs or by their foreign thought leaders?

Ugh, whenever I hear about Bud Light I feel sorry for Dylan Mulvaney and the shitstorm she got dragged into

If I had actual space to keep bulk purchases I'd sign up today. I wish they had a small purchases, "no frills" store like an Aldi.

Costco, is, at heart, a buying club. Your membership gets you in the door, but also gives you group purchasing power.

Extend that down to personal scale. Organize bulk purchases with friends, socializing while splitting up the loot. Vacuum seal, put things in jars and zipper bags, learn to can, and dehydrate.

Ask around once you get a fever for it, there are often more formal buying groups that are large enough to purchase wholesale. Don’t start one yourself at first, join one, as the logistics and spreadsheet action can be complicated. This is a really great way to afford higher quality organic food, for instance.

Buying bulk skillfully means a healthier diet, generally, as you get leas heavily processed foods on your menu. You also can massively reduce shit packaging.

Get a friend/friends to split the costs and items with you. Most stuff comes in multiple packages, so it’s pretty easy to split this way. If you have an uneven number, split so the person who is likely to use it faster gets more.

I’ve done this before and it works very very well to keep costs down for 2+ people who don’t live together. It probably won’t cover everything you want to buy but it dramatically reduces the “omg I’ll never eat all this” feeling.

Honestly, it may still be worth it even if you don't have the space to buy much in bulk, I've gotten some pretty good deals from Costco on things like clothing and electronics

And you don't have to, and probably shouldn't, buy everything in bulk, just some things that you use a lot of.

"grrr, costco is giving in to the woke agenda, i'm just gonna go shop at sam's club instead"

[-] goferking0@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 8 months ago

I thought they were already boycotting it for dei or anything else that they feel made them be slighted

[-] thekerker@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

[-] ameancow@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

Can't wait for all the videos of people trying to destroy stuff they bought at Costco.
