Save money by buying in bulk: Six essentials to stock up on

Posted April 11, 2014 by Student Profit Staff

Buying in bulk needn’t be a luxury for businesses anymore: Here are six things you can save money on by buying in big quantities.

Thanks to the internet, manufacturers are now selling directly to you (well, via Amazon), cutting out the supermarkets so they’re able to offer even cheaper prices on their wholesale stock.

Of course there are delivery costs to take into account but even with those included you can still save money and all without leaving the house.

Here are some of our top picks of products to try buying in bulk…

Toilet tissue and kitchen roll

If you’ve got somewhere to put it all you can buy all the toilet tissue and kitchen towels you need for the year (or even years) ahead in advance and save quite a bit of money.

Soup

You can grab yourself wholesale packs of individual tins of soup to fill your cupboards for months to come. Alternatively you can stock up on a huge tub of soup stock to make instant soup either for yourself or your whole house at the drop of the hat.

Crisps

They’ll last for a while so stock up and save cash: From huge Kettle Chip bags to single Walkers snack packs, Amazon stocks pretty much every make and flavour you can think of.

Chocolate and sweets

Okay, so this one isn’t all that essential, but you can get your chocolate fix for a much lower cost if you buy in bulk and in advance… just make sure you lock it away to stop getting through it in a week! You can also buy Christmas selection boxes to enjoy all year round…

Sauces

Whether it’s Mayo or ketchup, HP or soy, you can buy HUGE bottles (or in some cases catering style tubs and even buckets) of sauces and condiments that’ll save you money.

Tuna

Yep: You can even buy tuna online. A 12 pack of 200g tins will set you back just under £20 from Amazon. That works out at around 78-82p per 100g (depending on your exact selection), a saving of up to 20p per tin – or over £2 per per the pack of twelve. Prices correct at time of writing. Compared to price as sold in Tesco for pack of four from MySupermarket website.
