Shit like Walmart+ or similar. If it's your only option for groceries or whatever then that's different but at least where I live you can save so much by shopping locally for certain things. It's inconvenient at times, but trading inconvenience for corporate oversight is part of the reason my country is in so much shit as it is. I haven't spent a fucking dime at Walmart in a few years and likewise for things like whole foods or comparable. Go to a farmers market, hell it's a fun family outing on top of responsible use of your money. Same goes for door dash or Uber eats... I won't argue the merit of being able to have vital things delivered when maybe you're deathly ill but America's culture encourages these conveniences for absurd markups and somehow makes into the literal lexicon of speech such as, Google it, or let's just door dash it.

Paying a monthly fee to make something like this "cheaper" should be a clear fucking signal that you shouldn't be using this in the first place unless it's the only option.

    I shop local whenever I can too! i recommend it. But then that's something I can afford to do cos price wise it does add a few pounds. It's definitely worth it IMO
