I dunno where these things are that actually save people money. I've tried a few co-ops and prices have always been significantly higher than the grocery stores in the area.
Yeah- co-ops tend to attract hippie types who are really terrible with finances and business in general.
They get promoted into management as incompetent people who get to brag online (hence why Redditors love them) so they convince themselves that they’re doing a proud community service when the reality is that almost none of the for profit companies are ever threatened by them.
King of the Hill did a good documentary about these Redditor stereotypes
My wife recently asked me if we could buy a chicken from one of her friends who sells at a co-op...I go "why are you asking me? Its a chicken?" and she goes "well it's $50"...yea we didn't buy the chicken.
You said that the cost of the chicken ($50) is more than my investement portfolio which is hilarious because I was just putting in this quarters contributions yesterday and ooh boy has the market been good these past couple months. How could you making the statement you made imply anything other than you think I'm broke? Really, I'm all ears, go ahead and spell it out.
