Many people buy in bulk to save money. A rule of thumb is to never spend money on things you will not use. Sometimes buying in bulk to save money isn’t always the smartest idea. Buying a gallon of ketchup and then trying to rush to eat it before it goes bad isn’t a wish choice. Too many times have I gone to a warehouse to go shopping, stock up on items and then throw most of it away. I’m not saving money if it’s going
in the trash. So before you pay an annual membership free be sure buying in bulk is the right choice for you and your family.
Having a big get-together? If you plan on serving alcohol it makes better sense to purchase this at warehouse stores. Generally speaking, these stores will have discounts of 15-25% cheaper than the ‘party stores’. Some places do not require a membership.Unless you have amazing cereal coupons, buying cereal in bulk is a great option. The markup on cereal is pretty high and most warehouse stores offer it at up to 50% off retail price.
Pasta and canned goods are perfect items to purchase in bulk. They tend to have a longer shelf life than most products and can be bought for about 20% less. They also make a quick meal in a pinch.
Paper products such as toilet paper and paper towels are great items to buy in bulk, and something you never want to run out of. Also they never spoil or expire so you don’t have to worry about having too much. Usually the savings on paper products are usually around 50% or more. Sounds like a deal to me.
Office supplies are a huge market at retail stores. Rather you have a small business, need school supplies are just need a few things around the house. Buying in bulk is a great idea. Like paper products, these items will not expire or go bad.Warehouses have these products marked almost 50% below regular retail value.
