[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP makes a good point about few are showing how Costco saves money.

Also I wonder what the environmental cost of is of places like Costco-- all of those veggies shipped from California or Central America, all of those crates of bottled water.

Yes, if you buy something in bulk, ostensibly, you are buying less packaging, but I feel like these places just encourage you to consume endlessly.  Yes, the meat is of good quality, but buying it in bulk means that you are going to eat a lot of meat. Which is not necessarily the best thing for you or the planet.

FWIW, I am  not a vegetarian and think Costco is great. We don't go because it's miserable on the weekends. I loved going there in the 90s and the aughts.  But I am now rethinking all of my consumption these days.

I'm always disgusted by how many people I see at Costco buying crates and crates of bottled water.[/quote]

A lot of vendors, food truck owners, and small shops buy their stock at Costco.  These are often the people buying case goods.[/quote]
