Mrs Z and I used to go when we were first married, and this was back when it was still called "The Price Club".

We quickly realized that we didn't need pillow case sized bags of tortellini, gallon jars of mayo, 3 packs of ketchup in the one quart bottle, and 6 loaves of bread in one "value pack". :lol:

My MIL goes every week, and buys huge quantities of stuff whether she needs it or not!

When I went to the US on holiday, was amazed an shocked at some of the supermarkets.

why do they sell 25 gallon bottles of mayo & tomato sauce ?
Bags of crisps & fries that are too big to fit in your car boot ( or trunk )
And other, over sized food items ! :yikes::yikes::yikes:

Doug, do you get JTF up your way? I believe they started around the upper north west, lower boundaries of "The North". We rarely go to JTF cos we end up buying stuff we don't need. And my assistant goes to Makro for work purposes, but we bulk buy teabags, coffee etc.

No JTF around my area that I know of Liz, and tbh it's another that I've not heard of either. I must lead a very sheltered life:lol:

I do JTF and Macro. Though you have to do a bit of shopping around as some 'deals' are not that good but look attractive at the time. Which is probably why people end up with stuff they didn't go in for in most of these types of places.

Some people go there to buy in bulk for their business, club, team, school or church function, picnics, etc. It's almost like buying wholesale but without some of the legal hassles and restrictions that are in place here when buying wholesale.

Others go and buy in the huge containers, bags, etc, and then repackage and save it, freeze it, store it, etc. Some folks have the time for that and the interest.

We don't have the time/interest and I think I haven't bought more than 3-4 items at Costco in the last 15 years.

The pizza is good though. :drool5:

My sister uses Costco quite a bit. They just got new tires on one of the cars yesterday. They're happy with the transaction so it's good for them. I prefer to buy tires from my local mechanic and know who's working on my vehicle. To each his own...
