Not everything is in huge packages. Yes, some paper products are, but
coffee, a gallon of milk, an appliance, a book, are all the same package as
every other place. Meats are typically 20% to 50% less than the supermarket
so big savings there. You do have to buy 4 pounds of butter to pay $1.68 a
pound compared to $3.50+ at the supermarket. Freeze or go in with a friend
on stuff like that.

I saved $100 on my TV a few years ago, that is two and a half years of
membership dues.
