I thought bulk buying was always cheaper, but my store proved me wrong
I mean, I always heard buying from bulk bins saves money, so I grabbed some lentils last week. Idk, maybe it's just me, but when I checked the price per ounce, it was higher than the bagged ones right next to it. Like, the bulk lentils were $1.50 per pound, but the packaged ones were $1.20 per pound on a deal. It feels like the store is tricking you into thinking you're saving when you're not. Now I make sure to compare every time, even if it takes a minute. Has anyone else run into this? What do you do to spot these hidden costs?
