Where tf do you find bottled water for 0.99c? It’s $2.50 everywhere.

I think it's still like .25 or .50 at Costco.

TIL. Don’t shop at Costco too much.

It's great if you've got the space to store large amounts of stuff. When I got my first house I went out and bought a couple big dog food containers, and filled them with 50lb bags of flour and sugar from Costco for less than $20 for both bags. Now I can bake all I want and never worry about running out of the essentials.

Yeah we used to shop there a while back, but kind of just stopped because we’ve gotten busier and have relied on grocery delivery more often + are shopping at local stores for fresher meat + produce.

It goes as low as about 0.14€ (for 0.5L) here in Greek supermarkets.🙃

If you buy a bottle by itself. I can't imagine people doing that though. Buy a 24 pack for $5. The difference in pricing boggles my mind. Convenience is such a large upcharge.

[-] generalpotato@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

The use case in my mind is a vending machine or at a grocery/convenience/mall/not costco store when all you need is one bottle. There’s only so many 24/36 packs folks can buy, especially when out and about.
