    Me, too. I’m allergic to Costco and all of the obvious psychological manipulation it employs to get you to buy more, and the vaguely trance-like, slightly feral state that a lot of shoppers seem to enter. And, there’s a Target store within walking distance of my house. But after it bent the knee and stabbed its customers in the back, I bit the bullet and got a membership to shop there, instead.

      Dude, Costco ain’t the only option.

      We strictly only buy gas and home supplies. We have no money to waste on frivolous junk and it’s killing the planet anyways.

      For food, we go to WinCo which is employee owned, farmers markets, and PCC, which is our local food co-op.
