I know that buying in bulk can save you money but this is bordering on the obsessive...or maybe there's some other bug coming that's going to destroy the World starting with your butt..

That's not bad. My parents got four 110 gallon plastic storage drums/containers/whatever they are called for y2k. Three were filled with gasoline and one was filled water. Then they filled the laundry room with canned foods. Then came the whole duct tape/plastic wrap episode a couple years ago. They get crazy with that stuff.

Have you ever been to Costco? My step-dad got a pallet of duck tape. A full pallet loaded from a forklift. Took a long time to unload the truck when I got there.

We go to Costco almost weekly. Their produce is usually pretty good, and there's a few bulk items that are better to buy there than anywhere else. Costco usually has the cheapest gas too, so it's kind of a one stop shop for us. What we can't get there we usually find at Trader Joe's, and on the rare occasion have to finish up at a normal grocery.

I can't go to costco anymore. I can't leave there for less than $150. Even if I was just there earlier in the day.

Our minimum used to be $200 a pop, now it's around $100 if we're just getting necessities. If we have to restock paper products and that sort of thing, then it easily jumps over $200.
