Grocery shopping is always a big hit to the bank account and more often than not, when you feel like you’ve bought a massive shop, it turns out that you’ve hardly made a dent in the cupboards. This is why there are some things that you should always try to buy in bulk. Here is a list of five things that you should consider buying more of the next time you go shopping.
1) Toilet Paper and Paper Towels
It is obvious that toilet paper and paper towels do not go out of date, plus they are always needed in the home. So buying these items in bulk makes sense when the savings per roll start to add up.
You can easily buy packs of 50 rolls at your nearest wholesale store. So, if you have the storage for it, what’s stopping you?

2) Cans
Canned foods can last for a long time and often supermarkets will have some sort of a deal on canned goods. If not, you can always go to your nearest wholesale store, in order to save a lot of money and keep your cupboards stocked for even longer. However, don’t just go buying products that you and your family do not eat, this way you are wasting money and wasting space in your cupboards for other items that you would actually use.
3) Laundry Detergent
Laundry detergent is expensive so it makes more sense to buy larger options if you can, so you can save money in the long run. Although you probably won’t find these deals in your local supermarket, you will definitely find them in your local wholesale store.
These stores will often offer you larger packs, or if not, normal packs for a lot cheaper, meaning you can buy a couple of more and save yourself a trip to the supermarket in a few weeks time.
2) Alcohol/ Bottled drinks
Most superstores do great deals on bulk buys in alcohol or bottled drinks, sometimes offering a three for two deal or half price when you buy in bulk. You could also go to your nearest wholesale store where you will find packs of bottles and drinks for a lot cheaper, meaning you can buy more than you normally would do.
This is a great idea for if you are planning a trip or a party and you need supplies.
1) Toiletries
Items such as shampoo, deodorant and bars of soap can often be expensive if they are bought alone. However, if you take advantages of deals either at your local supermarket or at your local wholesale store, you will find that you can save yourself a lot of money, provide more stock for you and your family and you can put off your next journey to the supermarket for at least a few more weeks.
Buying in bulk is always a good idea if you are looking to save money for you and your family. It is important however, to only buy items in bulk that you will definitely use.
