I don't mind stocking up on paper goods but the food stuff is a bit nutty. I do go to Sam's club and get the bulk items. I like not having to run out for tp or papertowels. It saves me time and effort, which is valuable to me.
You gotta wonder though, if these people are spending 3, 4 or 5 hours shopping and then however long it takes to checkout...their dairy and meat items have got to be spoiling. I don't understand why they don't break it down into smaller checkouts like paper products, non perishables, produce and regerated items. I know that as a cashier, it would have been a whole lot easier for everyone, especially if a coupon didn't scan correctly. That was always a nightmare. |
I don't mind stocking up on paper goods either. We buy bulk on those from Costco.
I didn't see a lot of dairy and meat items on the show. Mainly boxed and can goods.
