Instead of bulk buying from Costco, if possible support a locally ownedgrocery store and make smaller walkable/bikeable trips, not only better environmentally but better for your local economy (and possibly healthier)

I read this article today https://time.com/6307359/government-ftc-walmart-prices/

While I don't think a lot of people can afford the higher prices of locally owned grocery stores, I do think that those who can should try. At least until there's more antitrust enforcement.
