Wait, you quit the plant shop and didn't keep any plant hobby?

Yikes, $120 to be told to look out a window? My worst was a $40 "grammar guide" that was just a printout of stuff I learned in 8th grade.

Bulk bins are one of those things where the savings only show up if you actually do the math, and most people never do because the unit price tags on the shelves are sneaky. Here's the part nobody talks about: stores know this. The pre-packaged bags get prime shelf space at eye level while the bulk section gets tucked in some corner near the baking stuff. That's not an accident. It's the same reason cereal boxes are designed to look bigger than they are. They're counting on you grabbing the convenient thing without checking. So that cashier didn't just save you four bucks, she basically showed you how the whole store is laid out to work against you. Once you start checking unit prices on everything, not just rice, you'd be shocked how often the small bag or the bulk bin beats the big one.
