There's a pretty big profit to be made by buying wholesale/in bulk. My second job is running a restaurant and wholesale prices on items can be ridiculously cheap. Think 12 avocados for $5 right now, one case of 50+ for $10-15... and these are even better quality and fresher than the $1-3 you might pay per avocado at the local supermarket. Another example: the Oreos that I like to get on instacart that are often way cheaper than Safeway and are pretty close to the wholesale prices I pay for the restaurant. All it takes is a sellers permit. (In some cases, like Costco Business Center, just a membership, not even the permit.)
