Hi, we're not doing anything special - just buying in bulk to get cheaper
prices - but only products I know we use a lot of (we have porridge every
morning, and go through 1 kilo a week. We snack on sultanas a lot, and go
through 1 - 2 kilos so those kind of things we know it's fine to get lots
of.)
We had just been buying them from the supermarket but are trying to save
money hence the buying in bulk. Sultanas for example we pay $4.60 for
normally, buying in bulk works out to $2.65. I figure even if it costs us
in storage containers what we saved in the food prices, it's no loss as we
would have paid that much anyway from the supermarket. Then of course next
time we don't have to worry about it and it's a saving. Only difference is
we wouldn't have the huge upfront cost of buying in bulk but it will all
even out, so thats ok too.
