Cheapism

If there’s one thing that we continue to be reminded of from the blossoming Reddit community that is r/Costco, it’s that so much of what makes Costco the magical, 5-star customer service, ever-hospitable land that it is is that Costco’s near and far have the best deals and the employees that genuinely care to back the whole show up. 

Apparently, if you’re in need of a one-cent cake, then your nearest Costco is where you should go.

Meet the Writer

Matt has spent the last 8 or so odd years as both a writer and editor in Seattle and Brooklyn, where he is now based. He loves escaping the tirelessly fast pace of the “Mad Apple” that is NYC by taking walks and runs through parks where he’s able to catch up on the latest tea about society from the city’s ever chatty, always hungry, occasionally rabid, pigeons. When he’s not taking his urban nature strolls, or dutifully combing the deepest rabbit holes of the internet to find the content that’s worth sinking your mind’s teeth into, he’s likely holed up at a dark-lit dive bar with a book and/or some friends, or just easily he could be on the hunt for the next addition to his steadily growing plant family.
