how can i stop the grandmapocolypse without the elder pledge or covanant

I've played cookie clicker and I can only temporarily stop the grandmapocolypse with elder pledge and elder covenant is too expensive

There is only one other way to stop the grandmapocolypse: selling all your Grandmas. This lasts until you rebuy one.

Another way out would be ascending and not buying the "One mind" upgrade in the next game.
