This is what I did with 3 roommates in college. We saved a ton of money that way.

After college, I only had one roommate and Costco didn't work as well. The quantities for certain things are just a bit much. Buying 36 eggs for 4 adults made sense. Buying 36 eggs for 2 adults... not so much. I ended up going to Costco for toilet paper and gas, and that's it.

To this day, I'm still the "spouse" on one of those college roommates' costco memberships, LOL.

Eggs last a long time in the fridge! I could definitely go through 36 eggs myself over the course of 3 weeks. :)
Actual conversation with a roommate from that time:

"Who's been eating all the eggs?"

"I'm not sure, how many eggs do you eat?"

"Not many, like 3 eggs in the morning."

"(Name), that's 21 eggs per week"

"... oh, yeah."
