r/povertyfinance: 500 Costco Memberships for Redditors in Need
As noted by the moderators at r/povertyfinance, a subreddit dedicated to providing guidance to people who are struggling financially, the last two years have been a nightmare for a lot of people. That said, as its Community Funds project, r/povertyfinance decided help make life a bit easier for as many people as they could.
“We realize that it’s expensive being poor and that at times, a barrier to saving money is being able to shop at a place where you can get things in bulk or have access to cheaper foods and goods,” u/AMothraDayInParadise wrote. “Those places often have a membership fee and that can be a significant barrier. So we’re going to remove that for 500 of you.”
To commemorate reaching 1.5 million subscribers, r/poverty finance gave away a total of 500 Costco memberships to Redditors in the U.S., Canada, and the UK in December. Not going to lie, reading the comments from the winners will give you the feels.
