  • Bulk buying FOR THE WIN! When I was a university student I was lucky enough to know somebody with a Costco card, and I must say that the money we saved in our apartment on foodstuffs was more than impressive. Our cupboard was filled to the brim with beans and soup, our freezer was stocked with Danish pastries, our pasta jars were always stacked high and our selection of soft drinks was second to none. Food party at ours, people. And now I'm a real grown-up, and the boyf and I have recently become members. Costco is a wholesaler's designed for businesses of all sizes, particularly those in the catering trade, hence the huge boxes of sugar sachets and milk blisters (what a HORRID phrase). The tiny annual fee is definitely worth the money you'd save, and considering how much I bake I really appreciate huge vats of flour, chocolate chips, raisins, sugar and giant bars of butter. While I do titter to myself when I think of the numerous depictions of bulk buying on American animated sitcoms like Family Guy and The Simpsons, I have to say I do adore buying in bulk. I then despise it when I get home and realise I don't have the cupboard space. I'd highly recommend this method of grocery shopping to students or anyone wanting to save a few pennies. The fee pays for itself, but be careful - if you go shopping make sure you take the person whose image is on the membership card, as you could be shunned if you don't match the picture. And why risk not being able to shop here, when you can purchase all kinds of American brilliance like peanut butter-filled pretzels, cake mixes, giant tubs of Jelly Belly beans aaaaaand eat humongous slices of pizza at proper hotdogs at the cafĂ© like we did today (a gigantic lunch for just over a fiver). Not to be sniffed at. Only things I'd change if I could would be the cold warehouse temperature (wrap up warm) and the way you can't reverse the trolleys, hence them getting so easily stuck in aisles!
