We stopped by The Bulk Barn when visitng the Queensborough Walmart today. I don't know why I am so fascinated with the place. It primarily sells the type of foodstuffs which can be sold from store bins. You know, they carry things like nuts, rices and pasta, candy, and baking goods. The prices are probably competitive although not cheap. It is fun to go inside. Maybe I'm intrigued because I think the franchises demonstrate an interesting business model.
We often find their flyer in our local newspaper. There's frequently a coupon for $3 off when purchases total at least ten dollars. I always feel that without controls, I would be inclined to spend hundreds of dollars there. This place has a sort of Costco effect on me.
