(22,553 posts)but you really end up saving money. Like for example this type of gum called Rain or 5 or something, (haven't figured out what it is called but it is in a black package and the gum lasts for hours)
Anyway at the 7/11 it is $1.67 a pack. Probably at Wal-Mart it is a little less. But when they have them on sale at costco and you buy 12 in a box they end up being less that .50 cents each for a pack. For a gum chewer like me it is a real money saver.
I buy a huge thing of about 48 rolls of toilet paper at a time and they become really cheap.
I also check the papers and buy at stores that have BOGO's. And if you look in the paper or at an online coupon site they will usually have coupons for things that are going to be BOGO. So you can buy one item at a reduced rate and get another one for free.
I think initially people think they can't afford to buy in bulk but if you start with just one thing a month, like TP, you can add other things as you have a little extra. It really saves money.
