I don't disagree with that, but the reality is most (of restaurant chefs) don't. In my experience (from going to farmers markets on a regular, if not daily, basis, including but not limited to the Pike Street Market, and getting advice from professional chefs who are doing things I like or respect), if you know where and how to shop you can eat higher quality ingredients at relatively affordable prices without going to major chains.
I do go to Costco for toiletries, toilet paper and paper towels though. And they have some good wine deals. Also, car insurance. Travel deals to Disney.....
