Why We Don't Shop At Costco or Sam's Club

We don't shop at big warehouse club stores.  There are only two people and a dog in our household.  We live in an apartment.  We don't have the space required to store a two month supply of anything.  It only makes sense to buy in bulk if you have storage space and a big enough appetite to eat all that food.  You can't buy anything that will spoil in bulk unless you can actually consume it all.

We find that it makes much more sense for us to buy small packages that we can consume in a reasonable amount of time.  That drives us towards stores that have smaller package sizes and low prices.  We find ourselves in Target, Aldi, Trader Joe's, and traditional grocery stores like Publix on a regular basis.  Plus, who really needs to buy books, a printer, and an exercise bike when shopping for groceries.
