If you go to a bulk store like Costco it certainly adds up. I don't go to those places because I can never use the stuff up fast enough before it goes bad.
Costco is a great place to buy non-perishables, dry goods, and stuff you can freeze the excess of. I agree it's hard to eat the fresh stuff but then again I don't have a family.
Good trick I learned while living the urban life was a highly raised bed, under the bed is super useful for storage space for things like extra paper towels.
