Did ever come to your mind that some people are smarter than paying 15k for to get extra suicidal mode? Not all companies lying and ripping their costumers off?? Or costumers, paying 15k to play a Tesla testing ape?

If you were really driving EQS and would have an objective opinion, you would now criticize the build and comfort crap of the Tesla right now! That is, if you are not actually one of those Tesla apes, daily masturbating on the Elon his pics and Twitter posts...

Things are worth as much as consumers are willing to pay for them. If Costco rises the price of organic milk by 20% and consumers still buy it in sufficient quantity, they will keep rising the price until they find the max price that consumers are willing to pay for the product. In other words, don't fucking buy overpriced shit from greedy companies.

.....2 dozen then. My point is its cheaper than your other grocery stores. Idk what ppl gain from hating on costco, but everyone else is raising prices too, costco is still cheapest for me.

And nobody is talking about the hot dogs, idk why you are so fixated on it

I’m not saying this in a way to tell people to “pull themselves up”, or anything like that. I got 2 kids and work at a grocery store. I just want to pass the advice on to anyone who cares about their personal finances in such dire times. If I didn’t budget, we wouldn’t make it.

The basket of goods I buy from Costco is still far cheaper than any competitor. Anyone needing to budget should be price checking and paying accordingly. When you equate money to time, it is DEFINITELY worth it to do this. Nowadays, it’s a lot easier too. All of these corps post their prices online anymore, so you can directly compare prices before even putting your shoes on. Milk seems cheapest at Kroger right now. Eggs are cheapest at Albertsons. Bread seems to be a sale item, where if you don’t find a sale for it, you pay a premium. I saved hundreds of dollars, potentially more, just by comparing before I left and bought shit. “Convenience” pricing is gutting the middle class, and has been increasingly for decades

This is reddit, most on here are dumb as shit. They love to hop on any bandwagon to hate on a brand/company.

I mean shitting on Costco? Where the fuck do they shop then lol. Im willing to bet wherever they get groceries from that company is probably more profit driven than Costco.

We're seeing that play out in the electric car space right now. And that would be something that would lower demand, theoretically. But if everyone is keeping their prices higher than we think they should, they're either selling out the inventory they're able to stock, there could be collusion, or several other things happening... img
