Has anyone else noticed the selection online at Costco is dramatically worse than in-store? For those of us without a car (/have access to mass transit), is there a way around this besides bugging someone for a ride twice a year? 🤔

It’s SUCH a money saver to shop there. But owning a car should not be a prerequisite.

Costco’s core business model is based in in-store sales. In some instances even the pricing for the same product will be lower in-store.

Yep :/

If you are trying to get food, you can instacart from Costco.

And where would you propose they put a warehouse of that size to where you can easily access it by walking or mass transit? If you're only going twice a year, just Uber or STR a car. You already recognize the cost savings so you'll likely still make out ahead.

I instacart for the daily basics/perishables. Anything else, I take an Uber or car share every couple of months.

As to Deloitte1 - NYC has a full-sized store in East Harlem. Easily accessible by bus and train 😉

They’re usually pretty decent, as long as you can meet them at the pick-up point with everything already packed in bags/crates.

For them, it’s basically like luggage, when going to the airport.

Need advice. Have some credit card debt that I’ve been working to pay off. Have made progress but want to lower it quickly. We have dual income, with a house (~$300k in equity), 1 kid and 1 on the way. I’ve looked into debt consolidation via HELOC but also have ~$80k in vested equity in my company that I haven’t touched. Get equity refreshes every year. Would it be smarter to cash out $15k-$20k of that to pay debt vs. a HELOC at ~5% given that will still require mthly payments

Seeking feedback on GAP insurance. I had a family member who purchased a car in June or July. They were in an accident last week and it sounds like the car will be declared a total loss. Never dealt with this before, so wanted to ask if anyone has ever had an instance where the insurance didn't cover the outstanding balance of the loan and the insured then owed money? Car was $35k, $7k down, finance $28k. Gap insurance is through lender, not auto insurer.

My boyfriend and I make 200K combined and live in NJ. We have $1000 in monthly car payments combined. That’s all we owe. Our credit scores are in the 800s. We have 50K to put down on a home. We have done the math and I know we can afford much more but he doesn’t want to buy more than a 400K home. I’m almost positive we can afford 500K and be more than ok. But then he starts to talk about how much kids cost and how we will be house poor and we won’t be able to afford kids. 🤔 Am I insane??
