That's precisely why we don't buy much produce at Costco. There's
only so much I *want* to eat within a certain time frame. Their
quantities are fine for small businesses, like caterers, people who
are having a big party or maybe sharing, but not for me.

I'll buy sacks of spuds at BJs, they sell 8 lb sacks of Green Giant
chefs potatoes, an 8 lb sack contains 7 perfect spuds, all giants,
wonderful for all uses. But I won't buy their 10 lb sacks of onions,
too many for me to use up before they begin to rot. However I'll buy
their 10 lb sacks of carrots at $7 because I feed the deer and at that
price they are a bargain... when I make the trip I'll buy four sacks
of carrots, deer gotta eat. Tonight there's a good 2' of fresh snow
on the ground, the older does are looking for handouts so I oblige.
It's 13ºF now and dropping fast, should go well into the minuses
tonight... I'm well prepared.
Birds are fed too:
