    @ShiroKuro What kinds of things are you purchasing online? Would help to point you to other sources.

                      Buy Tide at Costco and break even? Buy Persil at Costco and win all around?

                      Does anyone use Persil? I don’t get my clothes dirty like I used to and even if it’s not quite as good as Tide I’ll bet it works fine. Your experience?

                          We’ve been doing Tide but will revisit Kirkland next time we buy. We used to use Kirkland and it worked fine. Not sure why we switched.

                          Rumor is that the German company that makes Persil makes Kirkland. Is that what you were referring to?

                            I remember why we switched. We went to powdered detergent, stopped using liquid or pods. At the time there was no KS powder. Not sure what they have now.

                              Thanks!

                              Although I think Amazon’s donation to Trump’s inauguration find sort voids things… 😑

                                Even if you don't have a Costco nearby, a membership allows you to purchase online - often more items than are available at a local Costco... $65/year?

                                          As for hard to find items....? I suppose if Amazon isn't the first place I go, but the last, that should make an impact.
