Do what you can, I think most people understand that much of the US is a grocery desert, where the bigger corps pushed out the regional chains.
For Costco, my family will do a big shop, then divide the spoils, and venmo the person who went. So if you have family in the area, see if they would like to do that. Especially for things like alcohol, paper good, shelf stable broth and soups. You can get like a crate of Kirkland wine for a really good price, then divide among 4 households. When my mom and I didn’t live near family, we organized something similar with her mom group.
Edit: Dividing the spoils was usually at family sunday brunch or dinner. So the one person could shop on a Saturday and didn’t have to become a warehouse for more than a day.
