Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Costco saves you a little but not much. Its still like 8 bucks for two large bags.
Isn't Costco really only worth it for people who can actually afford to buy in bulk? Most paycheck to paycheck people can't buy 12 lb of cereal at a time.
and have the capacity. Even with two people in the house, it can be tough to finish off a costco size package of something parishable before it goes bad.
It depends on what you’re buying, and if you can use it before it goes bad. Cereal might be okay. It doesn’t really go bad before even a single person can finish it.
Things like mayo? It usually goes rancid unless you’re just spooning it into your mouth.
Canned goods, frozen goods, are all great buys that won’t go bad before you use them.
The bakery stuff is a great deal if they get used. (Those are for business types that put things out for meetings. Croissants, muffins, dinner rolls; the pies are for parties and stuffs.)
The rotisserie chicken is a loss leader, and the meat is great if you can freeze it.
The fresh produce is great if you’ll use it- which is why they usually put it behind the office furniture and stuff. It’s more for restaurants and kitchens; and “large” families.
You’ll notice that all the staples that are a good deal are generally in the back so you have to walk by all the stuff that isn’t. The furniture, the giant trampolines, the seasonal shit. The clothing.
Not everyone has that as an option, unfortunately.
