Tip Tuesday: Buying in Bulk (Are You Really Saving Money?)

This week's Tip Tuesday is to inform you about whether or not you are benefiting from buying that Family Size package next time you go to buy a product. Bigger is not always better. Sometimes you actually save money by buying the smaller package. Look at the price tag on the shelving for the product. Somewhere on there (depending what store you shop at) should show a price per unit broken down in cents. In some cases (not all) you will find that you are actually saving by buying the smaller size. So next time you are at the grocery store, take a moment to look at the unit price when faced with the decision of regular size, family size, jumbo, etc.

Same thing goes for items that come in singles and 2-pack deals. I've seen dental floss that are the same brand and size, neighbored right next to each other where it was obvious they were over-charging. You could get 2 of the 1 pack dental floss for almost 10 cents less than the 2 pack. Something to think about the next time you go shopping. It may only save you a little each time, but a little adds up! :)

Oh, and as always, don't forget to use your coupons!

I hope this Tip Tuesday was helpful. Have a great day everyone! :)
