Depends on the items. Things that you don't typically buy on a weekly basis is the draw, then while You're there you may as well get your stuff for the week.
We don't typically go to Costco every week, for us it's a once a month type trip. Things like dog food, toilet paper, paper towels, meat that you can freeze for later (typically the best quality meat around here), cheese, treats, etc.
Most things that are expensive elsewhere are cheaper there and in a larger size.
A lot of Americans don't realize how small European refrigerators are. And, that storage space, in general, is more limited.
Then what do you do with the random crap you own?
was about to say, the reason bulk sellers don't really work here is because a lot of people just shop every other day or so, if not straight up every single day.
weekly grocery shopping just sounds absurd to me, so much more effort than just popping by on the way home from work or just living close enough that you can bike there in 5 minutes.
I can do that I just find shopping annoying. Would rather just know it's a choir I have to do once a week. There is a store I walk to if I run short of something.
i mean yeah it's annoying because you're buying a week's worth of stuff.. when you're shopping daily you're buying like 3 things at once and it takes all of 10 minutes.
Exact opposite of what I said
Yeah, we don't really have that whole popping by thing here in freedom land. You're going to the store in your car, might as well fill up the trunk and just go once a week or so.
