Saving Money on Food: Buying in Bulk

Buying in bulk is a good way to save - but only sometimes.

• If you buy too much and end up throwing part of it away, out go your savings too.  Try finding some friends who want to share or swap.
   
• Bulk packages are not always cheaper.  Do your sums at the supermarket (or take a calculator) to work out if the larger pack really is cheaper.
   
• If you eat twice at much, it's not cheaper either. Never buy treats like biscuits and snacks in bulk unless you have very good self-control.
