    A lot of Americans don’t realize how small European refrigerators are. And, that storage space, in general, is more limited.

      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 imagined you singing in a choir once a week, hehe.

          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.

        Depending on your job it’s easier to shop once a week and have the rest of your evenings free for other things. I personally like the fact that I don’t have to go in there every day.

        But I’d have to buy for months in advance if I want to buy in bulk. Just a week’s shopping is not enough to justify buying in bulk for me.

        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.
