Buying Food On The Web?

[Lost_in_the_HTTP]

Have you found a place to buy bulk, case lots on the web? I don't mean buying 12 of something sold individually, but a place that lists a case of 12 as a single item.

I've never used Costco or anything similar. I used to go to a Gordon foods place, but the prices were at or above grocery store prices and their brands were limited.

Bezos Bargain Bazaar is bizarre. I've seen stuff there 2 or 3 times local store prices, sometimes higher.

If I want a case or 6 of Spaghetti Os, I should be able to buy it and have it shipped to my home. But I can't find a wholesaler. There was a place out there that claimed to do it ... Box ... or something like that, but again, their prices were nuts.

You mean like the size of an alternator?

I think you can buy stuff through Costco online. I never looked into it but I assume you still need a membership. Might be worth it if you'll do lot of orders though.

Much of the food goods won't ship and it wouldn't make sense to with their business model.

Most of what you're looking for you're probably not going to find. Major wholesalers don't want to deal with selling to individuals like you, even if they can get marginally more profit. You may find people selling "packages" of goods through Amazon or other etailers, but I doubt you'll get much as far as a price break vs buying individual servings at sale prices.

A search for 'case lots foods' brings up a few sites I've never heard of and I'm not sure I'd want to try.

Are you looking for a specific item or two, or a whole bunch of stuff? I've bought flats of product from amazon, and the price was better than buying numerous single items. My flat of brown bread came from walmart. Maybe you could see what they have.

I don't know if anyone mentioned it yet, but ten pounds is not bulk. On a more serious note, your order is not worth cpmmercial supplier's time. Maybe costco will sell you a case.

I have most of our dry goods delivered free now. Don't have to deal with shopping for stuff like that in Florida summer heat. Coming back to the car after shopping, and opening the door is bullshit.

Sam's Club has a deal on your SpaghettiOs https://www.samsclub.com/p/spag-w-meatball-12-pk-15-6-oz/prod22752343

You have to get the big boy premium membership for free shipping though. Same deal as Amazon - use their card for 5% off, leverage discounts for premium members, free shipping, membership pays for itself if you purchase enough every year.
