I've noticed that Walmart is doing the same thing - some items can only be ordered in bulk or in store.

This may lead to a resurgence in visiting stores for people that don't want to order in bulk

Even if you buy in bulk (assuming you have a car). My usual approach is to stock up on kitchen towels, detergents, etc. every few months when I’m starting to run low. I’ve priced out Amazon a couple of times and pricing seemed rather variable depending on the SKU. Easier just to do a run to Walmart/Target/etc.
