My thoughts on the word bulk include the bulk food aisle at the grocery, and the whole grocery store that has only bulk food items. Paris is not big enough for either, but St. Louis has both! I have only gone up and down the aisles of a bulkfood store once, and only because I had time to kill before an appointment, but I think it is a great idea for a large family struggling with the food budget. Of course, I would imagine comparisons would have to be made, even there.
My experiences at the bulk food aisle of a supermarket include almonds, red hots, and malted milk balls. The almonds were very good. You had to buy way too many red hots. The chocolate on the malted milk balls was not near as good as Whoppers.
Jean and I just do not buy enough of any one thing to justify buying in bulk. My Ma better be glad that when she was hauling me with her to buy groceries, that they had never heard of bulk foods. I bet I could have gotten a big ol' sack of chocolates every week!

Actually, the Mennonite store on Highway 54 west at Anderson Road has some bulk items such as cereal, candy, and other staple items.
They also have a good selection of cheese.
