The argument about buying “small amounts at higher prices” is really interesting to me.
I recently downsized places for a much more walkable environment. Keeping less stuff in my house is a feature. One I was worried was going to cost me.
But my budget has largely not changed. Any increase in costs associated with bulk buying are at least offset by lowered transport costs. It’s really hard to exactly account though.
My instinct is that it is much more efficient for stores to warehouse things & me do JIT buying. I’d love to see research on it.
- toomanybeersies 8y agoI've moved to lean cooking (as in lean manufacturing, not healthy food). I don't really keep any food in the house, except for herbs and spices, and condiments. I don't keep anything perishable or frozen. Every day or so, I'll go to Aldi and get my vegetables for one or two meals. My food wastage these days is about zero. Conveniently I live practically next door to an Aldi so I don't pay a lot for my food, I'm down to $7 day or so as I've moved to a vegetable based diet.
