(39,343 posts)Some of the things they sell there are alright, but a lot of it just makes me cringe. We can't even bother to shop at a regular store, but we have to go where we buy shit buy the pallet, wheel it to our vehicles and load it in as though we were supplying an outpost on the edge of civilization. I don't want to buy 72 rolls of toilet paper. Can't I buy them in packages of 8 like a normal person with a regular colon?

(29,676 posts)including toilet paper. Walmart is really the only game in my town so when I make the hour drive to a Costco I stock up with the idea of not having to do so again for several months.
I also buy fresh items in bulk. I do the "once a month" cooking where you prep everything in advance and freeze it, then pull it out to thaw the night before and throw it in a crock pot before work in the morning. (Or sometimes let it thaw in the fridge all day and then bake it that evening.) We save lots of money with buying it in bulk and by cooking at home instead of running out for crap at the last minute.
Some go to far but it does help us.
