Buying in bulk doesn’t always work. Unless you’re running a restaurant, it’s hard to guarantee that you’ll use up all of a bulk perishable before the expiration date. The cheaper base price can get quickly canceled out – and even completely overwhelmed – by the cost of what was wasted.
This list of smart bulk buys is a safe bet for any household shopper. It includes not just savvy buys that are unlikely to go bad, but also items that are most commonly discounted and give the best savings when purchased in bulk.
