I'm really sorry, your avatar is giving me a boner and while that is perfectly OK and I don't want to kink shame anyone, its making me feel really weird getting a boner in a Trump thread.

Silly goose, you're here forever.

I'd give them the 4.3 that's rotting away in the back of my garage just to see that thing run again.

v True, there's probably dozens going for scrap value within LA county but none of those involve a cross-country road trip in a marginally functional vehicle.

It's not a grocery place, it's a food supplier that only sells things in bulk quantities. You can't go in and buy a head of lettuce or a package of chicken breasts, but you can get like twenty different kinds of flour that you scoop from a bin yourself. Or a gallon of peanut butter. Or ten pounds of cayenne pepper.

I love bulk barn and wish they had them in the USA.

WinCo Foods has a pretty good bulk section, if there's one near you. Nearest one to me is about 20-30 miles, unfortunately.

Check your local hippie co-op. They like buying flax seed and soy nuts in bulk.

You have a version of "black and gold" brand?
That's the original cheap generic brand of food items in Australia. They used to be huge in Australia until the main grocery stores started their own budget/private labels instead - like "homebrand", "savings" etc.
Black and gold is awesome, you could never go wrong with their quality, while the supermarket private labels are hit and miss. It's a shame only small independent grocery stores sell them now.

The no name brand is just one of the many facets in the sprawling bureaucracy known as Loblaws that in many ways is the grocery chain equivalent to 70s era British Leyland. I do remember them being in their main stores as a kid but they slowly phased that out in favor of the "President's Choice" budget brand, so now they're mostly in No Frills.
