    There is only one trip, there will only ever be one trip. A second trip is the sign of weak fingers and poor constitution.

    Two trips doesn’t quite work out when you walked to the grocery store to begin with, unfortunately.

      When I lived in an apartment complex where we had to park very far away, I did see a lot of tenants using small carts to carry all their groceries in at once! Seemed very smart to me!

    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…

      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.

          It depends on how much you use. If you find that you’re able to use everything you buy in bulk then more power to you. I tried for the longest time but found myself throwing out way more food than I felt good about.

          Nowadays I only buy staples in bulk, and smaller more frequent purchases of everything else, with an intentional meal plan.
