Bulk is bliss! Imagine the savings on bulk purchase of 5 rolls of Foil or 10 rolls of Kling ... when even 1 can get you going months, not to mention savings on detergent, Reese candy bars, sports socks, soft drinks, beers, vitamins, pain killers, disposable razors, sanitary napkins, paper plates, batteries, dental floss, tyre polish, shower gel, giant size condiments, BBQ sauces, meats, frozen food of variety ... you name them COSCO & Superstore in Canada will carry them, in bulk at wholesale prices. The point is why do we need bulk? Well, in North America there is also space, to store the purchases but not in Hong Kong, when a standard size flat can ill afford a store room and this is why the concept went completely south at home.
These stores have become 'a must' for Hong Kong visitors ... the first timers are amazed in disbelief and, after crossing the river of no return, addiction sets in. It is a cardinal sin to not bring an empty suitcase for the Cosco or Superstore run. I am not all talks, I have proof. I can show you at the check-in counter on departure. This is a ritual only the Land of Plenty offers, do not miss it. My family thrives on it, and they are not unique.
Finally, before we leave the subject of shopping ... instead of taking me to department stores, malls, outlets and wholesale venues you might as well shoot me in the parking lot, to spare me a painful death.
