Buying in bulk

Post: # 49138Post Satori »

Hey peepz,

Was just wondering how many people on here by products in bulk? ... as it's something I have just started doing, and am now wondering why i didn't do it before!!

A couple of instances are buying 25litres of laundry liquid, and I end up getting nearly 30% more for my money, or buying 5ltr of shampoo and getting nearly 25% extra free, and to top it off I use less packaging and therefore reduce my impact on the environment ..... weeeeee!

I like bulk buying ... now just got to find somewhere to put it all, heh! :lol:

YES !

WE do... we've set up a food co-op on the Neeps! forum. So far we've saved quite a bit of money... AND AVOIDED THE SUPERMARKET as a result!

Perhaps we should set up a new 101 thread!

I try and buy in bulk whenever i can.

The one problem i have is i cant find anywhere that sells stuff in enough bulk as i like.

What shops does everyone else use to buy in bulk from.

Ive considerd cash and carries but ive been told you need to have a registerd buisness to be able to buy from them?
