Bulk shopping costs money
When buying bulk items, don’t overdo it.
You think you’re going to save money buying the 64 pack of toilet paper, or the 4 gallon pack of window cleaner, or the 2-quart shaker of cinnamon. But you have to have the space to put it. And excuse me, but do you really want your whirlpool tub – you know, the one you never use anyway, because it takes so long to fill, and it’s so hard to clean – or spare bedroom, or hall closet, or basement shower – to be a big storage container for toilet paper?
Also – you just spent money that could be earning interest (however little) in the bank instead. Or maybe it could have been used toward paying down your credit card debt. What’s the best use of your money?
Finally – the more you have, the more you tend to use. If you know there’s more tp in that whirlpool tub, you’re probably going to be wasteful. After all, there’s no need to be attentive to what you really need, if there’s always a big stash somewhere.
Shop smarter. Sometimes bulk is good. Sometimes bulk is just more stuff.
