What is worth buying in bulk and where do you get it from?

I already buy the large 10kg bags of rice and have been known to get dishwasher tablets from Amazon in large quantities, but what do you find are the real money savers and where to buy from?

Amazon for toilet rolls, tea bags, herbs, spices, shampoo, conditioner, hand-wash, showergel, washing powder.
Tesco for rice and pasta.

i buy the big bags of rice and pasta from Tesco and we always have sacks of potatoes delivered over the winter.

Are you bulk buying to save money or just to have stores, tbh I do it for both reasons,

I often get trays of soft drinks etc from Costco, I only get to go 2 or 3 times a year so I buy in then because it does work out cheaper and I store them I. The garage, I like to have things like appletizer that my DIL likes and the ginger beer

I’ve found Costco isn’t always cheaper though so it’s worth checking, and store space can be an issue.

Costco for kitchen towel and bin bags. Poundland for toothpaste and mouthwash.

Costco for toilet rolls, kitchen rolls, tins of chick peas, deodorant, toothpaste and large bags of frozen samosas, spring rolls, jalapeño peppers. Not always the cheapest but very convenient. Great if you are having a party too for large, prepared salads, smoked salmon, hummus etc. I used to buy the lads in the office a tray of danish.
