The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

I don't think Amazon's purchase of Whole Foods has made much of a difference in our shopping...my wife still goes to Whole Foods occasionally, and maybe she purchases more of something when it has a bigger discount for Prime members, but probably not much.

We still buy as much (or more) from Amazon over the last few years. I'm the only one who will go to Walmart for a few things...she shops at Target/Costco/local grocery stores because, like you, she really dislikes shopping there. Maybe it would be different if we did online grocery delivery?

I'd say the main change over the last few years is that Costco gets more and more of our business.
