I will go check local comunity storage. If I got one, cool. If there isn't any sugar, I will go to the shop and buy 10kg of sugar. One is for me, and rest I will "sell" to the community storage. Because we know each other, I know what I can buy for others and I will not set extra high prices. It could work for up to 100 people. \\
