When you purchase in bulk, you might save money as you can usually get discounts for bulk purchase but when you buy in bulk you also misuse your purchase by using it more, so ultimately you end up spending more money through bulk purchase.

Even if you do not get a discount, you would still be saving money. This way you won't have to worry about spending money for transport just to get another one.

Having to spend money everyday on an item can be really straining on your finances. I prefer to buy it in bulk so that I would just avoid daily expenses.

Bulk shopping helps me a lot, I get to buy things on wholesale price and that saves me some money. I also get more than I could if I bought less, so I get to enjoy the quantity. Then I try my best to use the shopping carefully instead of misusing it for being in large amounts.

This concept is certainly a big part of what has made retailers like Costco so successful, but I would argue that you're typically paying more anyway. They fool us with odd ball package sizes that make it difficult to compare to what you would purchase at another retailer.

I am not in favour of purchasing things in bulk as that's how we waste my money and things by making excess inventory.
