RE: Buying In Bulk Is The Best || Saving Money Done Right

I always buy in bulk, unless it's expensive and I know the price might go down. I buy a lot of lentils bulk espeically - they keep a long time and they are good protein if we are struggling to get other food. Better than rice, in my opinon. But I also live quite far from the shops, and I hate going shopping every week so it's better if I buy enough to last the fortnight.

Jup, that's good reasoning. Buying bulk without thinking about it can also cause food to spoil for example. Even if it's cheaper, I probably don't need 5 gallons of milk at once.

I was surprised how long lentils stay good and usable though. We still have some green and yellow ones. They also take long to cook, but that's another story. !LOL

Oh yeah that's for sure. I buy bulk with understanding that correct storage is needed and use by dates etc so things cycle through. Lentils are essentially dried so if sealed in bags or containers should feasibly last years.

It gets especially exciting with use by dates when they are on sale and close to the date. I've made some interesting meals with those items. !LOL

The concept of buying in bulk is so simple, and yet some people buy just what they need for a short period of time, even if they have the means for more.
