It’s great if you’ve got the space to store large amounts of stuff. When I got my first house I went out and bought a couple big dog food containers, and filled them with 50lb bags of flour and sugar from Costco for less than $20 for both bags. Now I can bake all I want and never worry about running out of the essentials.
Yeah we used to shop there a while back, but kind of just stopped because we’ve gotten busier and have relied on grocery delivery more often + are shopping at local stores for fresher meat + produce.
If you buy a bottle by itself. I can’t imagine people doing that though. Buy a 24 pack for $5. The difference in pricing boggles my mind. Convenience is such a large upcharge.
The use case in my mind is a vending machine or at a grocery/convenience/mall/not costco store when all you need is one bottle. There’s only so many 24/36 packs folks can buy, especially when out and about.
Where tf do you find bottled water for 0.99c? It’s $2.50 everywhere.
I think it’s still like .25 or .50 at Costco.
TIL. Don’t shop at Costco too much.

How old is your flour?
I go through a bag in about 3 months. 6 for the sugar.
Alright, that is good. I was afraid that you are still using the same package back from whenever you moved in, which would have likely been bad.

It goes as low as about 0.14€ (for 0.5L) here in Greek supermarkets.🙃
