What would you think about a 30 percent return on an investment? It’s easy! Buy your staples on sale and in bulk.
Wait until you see the best price of the season or year and buy 6-12 months’ worth of it. Buy this way for toilet paper, light bulbs, canned tuna fish and most other canned products, printer paper, printer ink, renewable batteries, dishwashing soap, laundry soap, other soaps, all of your cleaning products (non-toxic ones), toothpaste, floss, deodorant, QTips, and anything else you use on a regular basis that can be stored for a long time.
You can even buy some clothing in quantity when there’s a great sale: underwear, socks, dress shirts. If you have a six month store of items you buy at a 15 percent discount, that translates into a 30 percent return on your money. All you need is some extra closet, freezer (for the great nuts in the picture), attic, or basement storage space. And, buying in bulk saves packaging. Eco-win!
