   @FlashMobOfOne It is a privilege set to be able to buy in bulk, to any sizable degree. SNAP not being accepted at most places that you can order/buy bulk orders, and as soon as you get beyond spices, for the many #disabled who can't lift &/or handle in bulk quantities, even if we manage to save for said purchases, we can't do them over said restriction set.

   Not to say that there aren't work arounds for some things that can work for some people but they're rare.

   This is a mainstay of why I eyeroll &/or laugh at pretty much every set of "money saving tips" I see pushed by what amount to petite bougie clowns, who all inevitably include "you must buy in bulk" and thusly have all the space, equipment & physical abilities to handle doing so.

   Similar to all the people in the world of "prepping/homesteading" who include this huge segment of their setups with at least $10,000 needed for their pressure canning setups alone, another $3,000 minimum on their dehydrator setups, grain storage & processing another $4,000....(Nevermind those pushing freeze driers in a pure paid ad thing.)

   Glad you can do it but understand many can't.

     @FlashMobOfOne I really think it's wonderful you can but at least 1/2 the year, more like 2/3rds, I can't lift over about 30lbs, which makes bulk purchase handling require more equipment, beyond space & there are millions of people like me.

     My spouse would likewise need help for bulk purchasing handling.

     In the disability arena it's a rather ridiculous cliff set, not just in the : SSI/SSDI vs not, but in the :need help & supervision on everyday tasks continually vs can do everything on their own to make living independently cheap

     And btw - I've never ballot cast for a Republicrat in my life.
