it continues to baffle me that it's just completely normal for some people to do gargantuan shopping runs like this, i never buy more than can fit in my packpack and an extra bag..
You wouldn't do that if you lived an hour from the grocery store.
I have to walk 1 hour to get there, so I'm optimizing.
it's a cultural thing, countries that had volatile economie and grocerie pricing at some point made people buy all their necessities in bulk, since prices would literally change multiple time in the day, crazy isn't it
It's also because many Americans can't just walk/bike to the store. So it's to minimize car trips, which is a good thing.
