      It’s also ignoring how this person spent so much in gas if they’re able to walk everywhere. Surely they’re talking public transportation, biking, or they simply have 4 extra hours a day.

      But yes owning a car is an expensive grift, but it’s one that’s hard to avoid in many parts of the US

      I looked at their website and I don’t get it, Aldi seems to be cheaper already so why would I bother with costco?

        The only thing costco really has going for it is the odd item that is truly on sale, dependable low prices on some stuff, and quality control. Quality control is the big one. I can’t remember most of the tests now, but when olive oil was being looked at, costco was one of the two brands out of something like 32 that was actually what it said on the label. On a couple of other things as well that I remember, like honey, they had the same finding.
