      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.
