Works for Me Wednesday: Bulk Shopping


I know, I know...Not another person telling you bulk shopping will save you money. Well, YES, That is exactly what I'm here to tell you.

I'm not telling you to run out and buy 400 plastic cups or 30 cans of fruit, however, I'm gonna let you in on some "good buys" and things that I only buy at Costco.

1. Cascade/Dawn Dishwashing tabs--You get 25 for $4.39 at Walmart whereas I got 90 for $7.99 at Costco. BIG SAVINGS!!!
2. Tide Laundry Detergent--You get the small box that washes I think 40 loads for approx. $18.00 whereas I get the BIG 120 load box for $25.99
These I'm not sure on exact price...but are great deals.
3. The frozen chicken breasts are a great deal.
4. The 100 Cal packs come in bulk with different varieties.
5. Batteries!!! You get 8 at Walmart for about 6 bucks or you can get 30+ for 9 bucks.

And y'all, that's just the start. I don't get many perishables at Costco, b/c let's face it, most of it will ruin. But things like the ones listed below, can save you money and trips back and forth to the store. Both of which, work for me!!!

Don't forget to head over to Shannon's for more Works for Me Wednesdays!!

I wish we had a Costco! :( Walmart is about the best discount place we have.

This is a wonderful tip! We go to Sam's Club and get those things and a HUGE bag of dogfood too. It does save in the long run.

My friend and I were JUST talking about this. There are some things she will ONLY buy at BJs. But she says lots of things are not a better buy. So you really have to compare. BAH! I hate comparing. So thanks for the list!!!

Yep, bulk buying on certain items saves money at our house as well. We buy: chicken breasts, diapers, paper products, chips, graham crackers, detergent, and a few other items.
