I live alone and can't use multiples of most products. I don't want to share because I feel it's not appreciated. Can you just sell one?

ITA with you.  Not everyone has a need for multiples and huge mega sizes at that. They do this for one reason--they can put a big price on it and makes them more money.

That's very true, many times I only want one. Something I have to think about before buying.

DH just bought a "huge" roll of paper towels at a shopping club.   It does NOT fit on the paper towel holder....

 

Think twice when buying mega sizes !  They may not be such a bargain.....

@xryretriever. In most cases, it wouldn't be economically feasible to sell just one.

Mega sizes of skincare products go bad before they get used up around here. I won't buy them here or anywhere else b/c of that.

I like Homeworx (Slatkin) candles but I don't want two of the same scents. They are usually sold in sets of two, but unless gifting, why would I want 2 of the same scents?

One for upstairs and one for downstairs.

Re: Offering multiples

[ Edited ]

When storage space and expense are not issues, I prefer to order multiples. That ensures that I will not run out of a frequently used product and is one less small chore (re-ordering or re-shopping) to do. I almost always order a generous quantity of multiples when there is a good sale and the product will not deteriorate. Another benefit is that, with inflation, prices often rise, making me glad that I do not have to pay for many products at the higher price when I have a stash of the product.

This has been a pet peeve of mine too. Why can't they offer a duo in dif. scents?  Combos are offered in other things so why not candles as I like to try dif. scents as well.
