Imagine carrying your groceries from Costco... it's going to take a couple of trips honey.
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)

Also WinCo sells bulk foods and is majority employee owned
I love WinCo!

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.
Especially if they don't give you boxes...
