Buy in Bulk but Avoid the Sour Taste
Buying in bulk is a great way to save big bucks. I tend to purchase a lot of household supplies like paper towels and toilet paper in bulk. I save about 30 cents a roll on paper towels and a dime to a quarter on the toilette paper.
I also buy dish soap, dishwasher soap and hand soap in bulk along with printer paper, sponges and frozen foods.
You’ll notice there is not a lot of food on this list. I don’t cook enough to justify buying most foods in bulk. I have a hard enough time using up all my super market consumables like bread before they go bad.
Be careful with foods. Take into consideration how long they will last and how quickly you might get tired of an old favorite.
I once bought a 5 gallon jar of maraschino cherries. It is hard to remember if they went sour on the shelf or in my mind but I only ate about two pounds of the tasty treats before tossing the massive jar.
Go forth and buy in bulk (when it makes sense).
