Big or Little?

• ernest_t_bass

  

  Heard the phrase "pet peeve" being thrown around a lot tonight. Thought I'd share one of mine.
  
  When you go to the grocery store, do you like to buy things in bulk (big) or small quantities (little)? My wife buys 2 rolls of paper towels, 4 rolls of toilet paper, a six pack of pop, one bar of soap, etc. Me, not so much. If something is worth buying in bulk, I buy it in bulk. Max toilet paper, 8 rolls of paper towels, case of pop, whatever. You get more for your money, but she just sees it as "taking up space," yada, yada, yada.
  
  How about you? I know that this is a cool story, but really... how about you?

  My parents go to Costco for the stuff worth getting in bulk, and kroger for the other random things that don't require bulk

  I buy the best deal, and yes my wife bitches about room. I always buy beer in bulk, I need my vitamins

  Saves money to buy smaller amounts because of sales tax.

  I also buy the best deal and my wife was complaining about needing more room until I built a couple more shelves and now everyone is happy.

  For me it depends on what I need and if its a good deal or not. So a little of both if the price is right!

  It depends. If it is non-perishable I'll buy in bulk. Anything else in small quanities since I am buying for myself and no one else.

  Big. I have six kids. Even bulk doesn't last long around these parts.

  My wife buys what she needs until the next time she shops. That usually doesn't involve buying in bulk. I don't see the need to do that.

  I buy once a month from Sams

  You can't beat the price for the 5 gallon size Mayonaise. Plus you won't have to buy it again for 3 years.

  Let's just say we will never ever run out of toilet paper at my house.

  It doesn't bother me at the grocery store but I get sick and fuckin' tired of hearing the sorrorities use to refer to mentor/mentee relationship.... Just call them your fucking sister and get on with it

  How so?

  The wife buys in bulk. She gets it from her mother. We have about 20 boxes of everything--- toothpaste, gel, deoderant, rolls of toilet paper. We never will be without supplies.

  Yea, it's not even close to true.
