Some people don’t want to buy in bulk since they say that it costs more than those that are individually packaged. Are they serious? With simple divisions and additions, it is so easy to assess that they can save a lot of money when they bulk buy items for their homes. Yes, they might be paying more today, but they can get more items that can last for weeks or even months! That’s a lot of savings, but of course, without sacrificing quality.
Want to save some? Here’s a list of 10 things I always buy in bulk to save money.
Things you can buy in bulk
Toilet paper and paper towels
Toilet paper is considered a staple in every household so no one wants the hassle of supplies to run out. Getting them in bulk will not just give you an ample supply, it can stay in the closet for months. A report shows it can save you up to 50% compared to buying in singles.
Paper towels are also a staple in the kitchen and the bathroom and you might just want to stock up on this too.
Bath soap and hand soap
Who doesn’t use soap multiple times a day? Just a tip, you can buy stylish and durable dispensers for hand soap for controlled used. Bath soaps can be purchased in large packs of multiple pieces. That’s 40% savings as compared when you buy in regular size bottles and individual packs that can only last for a week.
Shampoo and conditioner
Another staple for body’s hygiene and health purposes, shampoo and conditioner can be bought in large containers like gallons. That’s a lot of savings compared to those that are in regular-sized bottles.
Laundry and dishwashing detergent
Why not buy detergents on large volume? Just transfer it in in smaller empty containers for easier use. A family, especially big households wash clothes every week or more so stocking up is cheaper in the long run. Also, every meal requires dish cleaning so dishwashing detergent is often used. Buying these items in volume can save you up to 15%.
