I'm not single, and I've never in my life finished an entire pack of grocery store grapes. And they are NOT fucking cheap. I haven't bought them in fuckin' years...
Edit: Oh... Wow. I now remember watching a weird movie about Jack the Ripper and thinking "how is he luring these girls with grapes?!" I guess we're back to the 1800's now...
Basically you want what came before supermarkets
I miss those, when I was small we had a local store that did that for all meat products. You just said X amount of bacon. Instead of buying a million separately packaged packs that barely last 1 family breakfast. Or well, going out of my way to hit up lidl, because they're like the only ones selling bigger packs.
Now don't get me wrong, butcher counters still exist, but they're rare and many are expensive hipster shit.
Regular markets
You could really order just like 3 stalks of celery? They didn't force you to buy the whole bunch?
Many markets used a barter system, some even used Silent bartering so it was pretty easy to purchase only what you wanted
A half loaf of bread, please.
I’ve had this idea before. I named the fictional business “Spoiled Bachelor”
For grapes, since they're sold by the pound you can just take some of the grapes from the bag and place them into another bag of the same veriety if it's too many
A colmado on every street, please.
