"Oh goody!," you may have exclaimed when one of those "big box" stores moved in somewhere near enough for you. "Now, for a small annual fee, I can load up on huge packages of paper towels, toilet paper and garbage bags and save big!"
When my sainted wife had this reaction, completely overlooked was that her husband would have to build an entirely new storage area to turn our former "house" into the big box store's "distribution point."
Worse, a close review of the financials will no doubt show that careful management of local grocery sales will deliver the same savings without requiring that one borrows a friend's SUV to fit everything.
They also give you bags when you check out.
