This isn't a thing I ever thought of but I am intrigued by the concept.

I should order ramen by the crate!

Buying in bulk is almost always a smarter option, but always ALWAYS check the price per unit against local places. Also keep in mind that price per unit is only relevant between exact brand and product comparisons (e.g., Brawny paper towels at Sam's Club vs at Publix) and if the products you're comparing are not an exact brand match, you have to test for quality.

For example, Sam's Club's Member's Mark paper towels cost about $0.12 more per roll than Brawny's rolls at Wal-Mart (where I am), but the Wal-Mart stocks the gabage Brawny which are crap at absorbing and fall apart easy so I go with the pricier bulk option.

Never ordered groceries on a website, though. Let me know how that works.

If you're single and living alone, buying in bulk isn't always worth it though. It's easy to get so much more than you can use that some of it goes to waste. In the case of non perishables, definitely, and there is something to be said for never, ever running out of two ply toilet paper, because fuck single ply, but bulk buying fresh foods is a bad plan for solo apartment dwellers.

Fresh must be bought and consumed fresh, agreed.

I'm a little embarrassed at how long it took me to figure out why my 9 pound bags of broccoli were going bad before I could finish them.

PS: it's because 9 pounds of broccoli is a lot of broccoli.

Man, I love Costco, but I found this out today:

Our store does not carry plain dry lentils, only expensive single-serving prepared lentils and an equally expensive ~fancy organic~ sprouted mix. They have like five different kinds of bulk rice but no lentils.

What.

But... Costco is supposed to have everything.

The one near me doesn't have espresso machines.

Just sayin'.
