I took your original post as a complaint about buying a large bag of potatoes to avoid having to pay five cents for a shopping bag. After re-reading it, it could be interpreted as a complaint about bulk pricing being more attractive. But then it would be arguing the sanctity of wholesale purchasing. Which is unthinkable. Unthinkable.  |
Bulk pricing is likely a huge contributor to the consumer side of this problem, let's be real.
Bulk pricing incentivizes potential waste. Sure, coupon clippers and thrifty folk will probably make up multiple chicken based dishes with the 8-breast 20$ bulk pack that was on sale that week, but for every one of those, there is at least 5 guys who come in to get a 3 breast pack for 12$ to make up a single dish and they'll go "oh 12$ what a rip when those are 20$" and then proceed to let 5 breasts moulder in the fridge for a week.
