        Quick reminder that IKEA is evil, raping the planet and makes garbage furniture for not great prices :)

          To expand a little:

          Ikea uses illegally harvested wood to create furniture that is meant to be thrown out. Ikea uses the same business model as Shein except with furniture instead of clothes.

            there’s also the romanian death squads, also “reforestation” in new zealand with invasive species, buying up farm land just to let it rot, then harvesting the reforested wood and leave it to rot too.

      We got an Aldi a couple of years back in my hick town. I cannot imagine why that place isn’t packed.

      Haven’t yet spent $200 in a single trip, and we’re not buying cheap food. One trip was $130, and that covered 2-weeks for 2 kids and 2 adults.
