Can someone please tell me why EVERYTHING sold in American grocery stores is teeny tiny??? It is pissing the hell out of me today. It’s like they are a nation of very small people who only consume the most dainty portions of food and therefore do not require food to be sold in trough-like sizes as us animalistic Canadians. At least that’s the look I get when I ask where the “big jars/bags/packages” are.

Margarine, at least in the brand I want to buy, comes in itty bitty little 425g containers. I used to buy the giant keg (maybe 2kg [4.4lb] of margarine and now we go through like 25 packages of margarine a week.

Cheez Whiz comes in microscopic little jars, not the normal mayo-sized jars.

I tried to find your standard 20kg (44lb) bag of flour at the grocery store and apparently the only place you can buy SO MUCH FLOUR is at Costco! They looked at me like I was asking if I could please purchase a metric tonne of flour because WHO ON EARTH USES SUCH A RIDICULOUS AMOUNT OF FLOUR??? Seriously? I had no idea until this point that people actually bought those miniscule 10 lb. bags of flour and now that’s the biggest bag they have? And honestly, who the hell buys less than ten pounds of flour? Who says to themselves “I need exactly 3 tablespoons of flour, no more and no less will do. I will buy the smallest bag of flour known to man.”

Yes, I have grocery rage. I know, it’s stupid to be annoyed about these things. It’s not like if I had the bigger sized of these three items I would be going to the grocery store less. But somehow while it is totally acceptable to me to have to buy milk twice a week, running out of margarine every week and out of flour every couple of weeks is bringing out THE CRAZY. I’m going to go ahead and blame this one on the post-Halloween sugar crash.
