What's special about Costco? Speaking as someone who's never been.
As it pertains to this post, they specialize in selling in bulk.
Aah, that's the context I wanted. Thank you!
They've recently tried establishing here in Sweden. Not quite sure where they set up shop but it's nowhere near where I live, so I've not been. Don't think it's going great for them. I don't think bulk groceries is a filled niche here, but I'm also not sure how big that niche even is. As far as I know most people buy groceries for the day, or every couple of days. My roomie and I order in groceries once a week. I think that's fairly standard.
Might be massive savings in buying in bulk, but then there's the matter of storing it all too.
Yea you don't need to have a family of 10 to make use of Costco. You and your roomies can definitely save some money by pooling and getting some stuff together at Costco. You just learn what you can actually use and what doesn't make sense for your household and buy the stuff you need less of somewhere else. I highly recommend it; learning to shop at Costco has helped me and my partner eat better, cook more, and spend less money.
I don’t think we could as the nearest Costco is 2 hours and 40 minutes away. The reviews aren’t great either, seems they mostly sell expired stuff.
