What I did say is that I would be willing to cut consumption by half if necessary (or more) to get a good quality product, rather than buy more of lesser quality. In fact, one of the biggest points I made was that there are different ways of factoring what the true cost of something is.

If we want cheap sneakers, the jobs go to other countries so that we can get them, and we lose jobs here. So the cost of the sneakers is less, but the other costs are high.<br /><br />If you PeaceandPlentynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6008819998091697653.post-16778367574432504032012-03-18T22:54:06.494-04:002012-03-18T22:54:06.494-04:00It is tough, but not impossible, to shop at Costco...It is tough, but not impossible, to shop at Costco's without a car. One could call for a cab, however, before leaving the store. If I'm not mistaken, there are usually some car-service type cabs available by the exit (guys asking if anyone needs a ride). Another approach is to shop co-operatively with a member who does have a car - have them pick up items for you, then get the food CheshireKittynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6008819998091697653.post-40979941976349965262012-03-18T20:48:07.579-04:002012-03-18T20:48:07.579-04:00Id never shop there for main groceries, just forgo...Id never shop there for main groceries, just forgotten ingredients, a candybar, or emergency purchase.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6008819998091697653.post-52754958602249035082012-03-18T17:32:21.202-04:002012-03-18T17:32:21.202-04:00It's a nice 15 minute walk to get to Costco.

And let's emphasize some of us don't have cars to get to Costco, don't have the time to go there with the bus because we're at work and in the weekends we're already swamped with house work.

I have been boycotting this place for years. Their meats are green and the prices on non-organic items are higher than the Wholefoods' organic items prices. So ridiculous!

I assume there are many gotchas involved in this, though. Selling organic milk at that price you mentioned is not too surprising.
