Yeah. I found that there are a lot of places that let you buy in bulk or not in bulk at the same place. A wonderful example of this is H Mart, a Korean grocery

Yeah. I found that there are a lot of places that let you buy in bulk or not in bulk at the same place. A wonderful example of this is H Mart, a Korean grocery chain. I also found that Costco's selection sucks and I would often leave not getting what I went in there to buy.

Costco doesn't have a wide selection because the idea is Costco only sells good stuff. You don't need to think because whatever Costco has is purported to be good by Costco's standards which presumably go above the standard of average consumers. If you are looking for things Costco doesn't carry, it is what it is. If your needs or desires line up with Costco's selection though, then there's no better place in terms of both price and efficiency of procurement. If you find stuff from Costco is going to waste (namely foodstuffs, almost everything else they carry is non-perishable), just throw them all in the freezer. They will last months if not years.

  > Costco doesn't have a wide selection because the idea is Costco only sells good stuff. This is where you get deeper into Wall-E territory. A lot of their "good stuff" is junk food. And a lot of people eat more of it when it's lying around their houses. And really it's only "good stuff" because it's brand name. There are better tasting chocolate bars with less packaging than Hershey's Nuggets.

    Costco has everything from raw foods to processed foods. You want to cook and eat healthy? They have it. You just want to microwave something and be done with it? They have it. If you get junk food from Costco, that's because you bought junk food.

        There's good junk food and bad junk food; whatever junk food Costco carries is presumably good junk food. The "junk" in junk food isn't talking about the quality (good/bad) thereof.
