Honestly trying to find someone with a retail or resale license to buy from food outlet (resturant supply) stores can save a shit ton of money if enough people are wiling to front load the cost. I've noticed though in places I shop like Smart and Final that the generic canned tomatoes they sell (the cheapest option) are more affordable when bought in 16oz cans compared to the double cans which is one way to fuck with the economics of scale that neolibs and economists love to jack off to at night.

Webstaurant store is decent if you don't have someone who can help you get into other restaurant supply stores
