Would add that people buying in the quantities offered at Costco are likely to live in a place that’s large enough to accommodate storing those items.

- madengr 7y agoTrue, for this family of 4. We buy the big pack of Scott toilet paper, and store it amongst 4 bathrooms; same for tissues, both 2x a year. Paper towels in the garage, along with detergent and bleach. Bulk meat in a small deep freeze. A $6 bag of garlic lasts for months, but just toss it even if it’s only 1/2 used, as that would buy you 6 bulbs at the normal grocer.

- vl 7y agoTypical modern American house has at least 3 bathrooms: downstairs, upstairs master bedroom for parents, upstairs shared for kids. Downstairs ”in-law” room with private bathroom or washer/dryer closet with toilet gives you fourth.
