minus-squareSigntist@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up6·1 year agoUnless I know I need a lot of stuff from Costco, I never grab a cart. It forces me to make significantly fewer impulse purchases.
minus-squareguyrocket@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up3·1 year agoReasonable strategy. Mine is to carefully consider the need for “extras”. But because prices are better and returns are easy I lean more towards purchasing than not. I am less inclined to purchase at other stores where prices are higher and returns nor complicated.
