There is something so amazing and gratifying about bulk food shopping:
10 toothbrushes for less than a dollar a brush\u2013yes!
48 double rolls of toilet paper for the cost of 40\u2013you betcha!
12 chicken breasts more than $2 off per pound (in comparison to the grocery store)\u2013hallelujah!<\/p>\n
We are relatively new to the bulk food\/sundry shopping world, having just joined the local COSTCO in town for a \u201cmere\u201d $50 membership fee. And while I\u2019m pretty sure we\u2019re recouping that cost with all the savings, there\u2019s part of me that questions\u2013is it really that<\/em> great? Does my family really need to stock up on everything from A to Z in such vast quantities? And why does our fridge still seem empty midway through the week? Are we actually saving money or rather buying extra of things we really don\u2019t need?<\/p>\n Using Costco for buying diapers and gasoline seems to make good sense, but I\u2019m finding myself returning week after week. It is an additional shopping trip when I\u2019m already feeling swamped heading to the regular grocery store once. Can there be a better way? Can the words \u201cbudget\u201d and \u201cmeal planning\u201d by synonymous with the word \u201cbulk\u201d?<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" There is something so amazing and gratifying about bulk food shopping:10 toothbrushes for less than a dollar a brush\u2013yes!48 double rolls of toilet paper for the cost of 40\u2013you betcha!12 chicken breasts more than $2 off per pound (in comparison to the grocery store)\u2013hallelujah!
