Know a lot of 3-4 person households who could benefit, too.

Photos of a bulk room serving ~20 people:

A library of food?

It’s much easier to eat new things if they’re readily at hand, in large quantities.

Sure, there’s Zingerman’s but that doesn’t really count. I’m looking for something like the bakeries in Chicago’s Chinatown, or Detroit’s Mexicantown, where I paid $7.50 for this delicious box of treats:

(how much do you think that would have cost at Café Japon?)

In France, there’s a smart little bakery on every corner. Same in Germany, but they’re generally national chains with Stehplätze (standing tables) only. You can still get your sweet roll for 40 euro cents, though.
