Buy in bulk, but be careful. It is much cheaper to buy most items in bulk, from crackers to cereal to toothpaste to shampoo. However, some individuals cannot handle the temptation of having a 144 count package of cookies in the house, and end up overspending on food that’s eaten far too quickly. Or, on the flip side, some people buy in bulk to get the great price…only to see a portion of it go to waste when they can’t get thru it in time. So only purchase in bulk if it is something you know you can handle storing in your house before it goes bad.
