found out you dont need a business license to shop at Restaurant Depot and i feel stupid for not knowing sooner
went with my cousin a few months ago cause he has a small catering side thing and i just assumed you needed some kind of business account to get in. turns out they barely check, you can just walk in and sign up for a free membership at the door
bought a 10lb bag of shredded mozzarella for like $18, same stuff is $9 for 2lbs at kroger. got chicken thighs, olive oil, canned tomatoes, its actually insane how much cheaper it is per unit on almost everything
had a bit of money from Stаke saved up so i did a bigger first haul to stock the freezer and pantry and it was maybe $140 total for stuff that wouldve been close to $300 at a regular grocery store
only downside is obviously the quantities are large so not ideal if you live alone but if you have even just one other person to split stuff with its a no brainer. wish someone told me about this years ago #finance source
