Do you buy any household goods in bulk to save money?

[Invasionofthegutsnatchers]

I've started buying loo roll, hand soap, teabags and porridge oats in bulk. Nice knowing we won't run out for a while. Any ideas or current deals welcome- I have Prime but not Costco membership

You can't stack the wgac referral and discount. The discount works out at about £8 off so is better value

Flours and loo paper.

I don't because I don't have a car. I know I could save a lot if I did have a car by doing what others mentioned, e.g. bulk buying branded jars on offer etc.

I think the WGAC loo paper is awful. Crumbly on your nethers. We use Costco but appreciate that's only relevant if you are a member. We also have a Booker card & buy things in bulk there - rice, pasta, coffee, tinned tomatoes, chicken breasts (freeze them individually on a baking sheet & freeze in a bag), washing powder, fabric conditioner, cleaning supplies.

@fortheloveofcheesecake The bamboo is much better!

We use Costco for massive packs of laundry power and conditioner

@ItWillBeDone Thank you!

I prefer the recycled WGAC.

I usually do the same as Ariela

I try to bulk buy to save plastic/packaging.

Big packs of loo rolls, litre bottles of shampoo, 5litres of washing up liquid, ditto rinse aid, giant boxes of washing powder, catering tins of coffee etc.

I tend to buy through cash back site when the retailer has a bonus cash back rate, so even more economical.

And always shop for free delivery.

@Gazelda where do you buy the large bottles of rinse aid? Thanks

I used to subscribe to the method of buying in bulk but have stopped. I buy large shampoo and shower bottles in tkmaxx for convenience. I now prefer to buy what I need and clear my fridge and cupboards empty as much as I can before buying more. I think that keeping stuff in a dead money. Instead, of buying bulk, I now invest it as well as pay off mortgage. . Last year my investments went up by 18% and any payments off my mortgage saves me thousands in long run.

So what I'm saying is, instead of buying in bulk, use that money elsewhere. But I appreciate it's not easy and there are still good arguments to buying in bulk.

I try to never run of anything and have at least 3 of everything, buying 6 packs or 2 x 4 packs of tinned tomatoes, baked beans, kidney beans, coconut milk. Coffee pods. Buy shampoo, shower gel, washing powder, gel pods, conditioner, dishwasher tabs. From sainsbury, Iceland, Costco, whenever it's on at a good price.

I used a certain type of sanitary towel and found it was often out of stock when my weekly shop was delivered- I was so happy to discover that I could buy four months worth in one go and a lot cheaper too!
We also buy hand soap, shower gel, shampoo teabags and hand sanitizer in bulk. Mainly because we like certain brands and they have been regularly out of stock, but also the price tends to be better per unit.
I really miss the yellow sticker action now that I get a weekly shop delivered! Our freezer has suffered 😂

occasional tin of coffee

i have seen the huge bags of teabags and considered it

I buy in bulk for some things sometimes. Just depends if packs/boxes have a price drop on amazon. But I have bought stuff like box of 6 hand-wash/hand cream/anti-bac spray/dog chews etc

We buy Carex hand soap in a 5l container and then dispense into glass jar pumps in the kitchen and bathroom. Saves on plastic hand wash dispensers.

Where do you all bulk buy from if it’s not CostCo?

Booker

teabags, pet food, toothpaste, shower gels - when there's an offer on

Yes, only bog rolls (1 x biggest pack) from amazon and washing liquid even years BEFORE the pandemic! I am a panic buyer all of a sudden.

Sorry, how are you all saving money on WGAC? Just looked at their bamboo option. 24 rolls, delivered every 8 weeks, at £26 a go. So that's just over £1 a roll.

Lidl quilted paper. £1.55 for 9 rolls. Really nice.

It's not far off, for one roll at WGAC, to get 9 at Lidl?!

Pretty much everything (including paper, sellotape, underwear etc.. not just food or household toiletry/laundry/cleaning stuff) that isn't fresh food but I've been doing it for years & have everything set up to store it.

The price of food etc.. goes up enough that I save more by doing it than I would get leaving the money in the bank.
I can also wait months for a special offer to restock.
e.g.
Last time I restocked coffee it was £2 on special offer, now it's up to £7+ full price & £4 on offer but I still have at least 6 months worth at £2 a time saving myself at least £1 a week just on that one thing.

I'll probably get some more at £4 as I don't see it going down below that any time this year.
