Depends… do you live in a village or the city?

Always always always gotta be shopping by price per unit/weight/litre etc etc. it needs to be basic financial literacy that is taught and made accessible by transparency laws like this. It’s crazy the amount of people that I gotta explain why you buy in bulk and why not every food item is actually super worth it at the dollar stores.
Absolutely correct — I for example know that if I buy my canned teas in bulk at Costco, I will drink WAYYYY more than if I didn’t.
But if it’s items like trash bags or laundry detergent, absolutely buy in bulk because you will use it at a largely fixed rate anyways. Bite the bullet of the higher initial cost IF YOU CAN, and slowly you will save money by ironically spending more money — initially. It’s not so different to the infamous boot economic theory but with food.
