minus-squareSigntist@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up8·8 months 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-up4·8 months 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.
minus-squareSigntist@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up2·8 months agoI’ve bought too many useless things that I never got around to returning to rely on my willingness to make a second trip for returns, haha!
minus-squareguyrocket@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up2·8 months agoI buy most of my groceries and gas there so I’m there at least weekly so returns are easy for me…when I remember to bring them with me.
