I used to think buying in bulk was the smartest way to shop. Bigger box, bigger savings — right? Not always. After joining one of those warehouse clubs , I realized I was stockpiling more than I used. Paper towels , snacks , even condiments — some expired before I finished them. I wasn’t saving; I was wasting. Now I do the math. I check the unit price and compare it with smaller packages at Walmart or local grocery stores . Sometimes the difference is only pennies, and when you factor in storage space and spoilage , bulk doesn’t make sense unless you’re feeding a big family or running a small business. Another trick: split bulk items with a friend or neighbor. You both get the discount without drowning in a year’s worth of ketchup. Buying in bulk can save money — but only if you’re disciplined about what you actually use. Otherwise, those “savings” turn into clutter.
