I buy a few items in bulk such as toilet tissue, paper towels, laundry detergent, garbage bags, some frozen foods, and some meat that I freeze till i need it.

Only three of us left at home so I don't buy in bulk.

I like to buy household items in bulk. It's cheaper, convenient and I don't have to worry about the kids telling me that we are on our last roll of tp! When I stock up for winter, I also buy bulk or if we have a cook out, I'll stock up on plates and condiments so that they can last for the entire summer.

I shop at Costco and try to buy in bulk as much as possible. I probably should do it more often.

About the only thing I buy in bulk is printer paper, when Staples has a really great deal like a whole box for $2.00 after the rebate. Usually the prices for bulk items aren't as great a deal as getting coupons for things when I need them.

I use to buy in bulk all the time when my children were younger. It really helped to stretch our food budget and believe me none went to waste.

The only items I buy in bulk are toilet paper and paper towels.  I would buy more items if I had more storage space.

This is the great way to save money.  I hope that there will be more ways for us to save money around here.

I shop at Costco's or BJ's every few weeks for toilet paper, napkins, paper towels, tissues, detergent, and food items like nuts, beans, chick peas, tomato sauce, fruits, vegetables and whatever strikes my fancy.

I have a hard time buying food in bulk, I am afraid it will spoil.
Non-perishables I do buy when I can afford it.
