You've heard that buying food and other items in bulk saves money, but you're probably stuck on how to get to a big warehouse store without a car. Even if you own or rent a car, you'll still have to pay a hefty membership fee to reap the benefits of bulk pricing. Luckily you can still take advantage of bulk pricing on certain products without paying fees, and you can even get your purchases shipped to you for free!
Though you won't be able to buy ten pounds of meat, Amazon.com offers competitive prices on things like soap, cleaning products, and toiletries in larger quantities than you will find in your local grocery or drug store. The best part is that shipping is free on many products sold by Amazon when you buy $25 worth of products!
It may seem expensive to spend $11.99 on an 8-pack of Venus razors upfront, but not when you consider the number of razors you'd end up buying eventually. If you have the money to pay for products in bulk with lower unit prices, the initial purchase is always worth it.
Search for your brand of deodorant, toothpaste, shampoo, detergent, and any other product you buy frequently, and see the amount of time and money you'll save buy buying a multi-pack up front. Remember to calculate the cost of transportation to and from the store as an added savings. Even if you'd rather shop in a store, the same rule applies: when something you buy on a regular basis goes on sale, stock up! You'll be happy you did when you finish a bar of deodorant and don't have time to make it to the drugstore to buy a new one before class. No one likes a smelly student, but everyone loves a savvy student.
