Save Money On Everything!
Buy Bulk!
Thinking of going to Costco but only need to buy one particular item in bulk? Are you sick of wasting a whole lot of time and gas money in this tailspin of an economy just to get a good deal somewhere out of the way? Normally people end up paying retail prices for what they need when they need it so they end up going to their local supermarket to buy those widgets individually wrapped each costing X amount of dollars. Think about how many times a year you buy a package of batteries from a local grocery store. If batteries have a shelf life up to five years, then you could save five times as many trips to the grocery store for batteries, not to mention huge cost savings by buying in bulk to last that long. Imagine how much you'll save if you buy products in bulk that have an unlimited shelf life. Costco prides itself on wholesale prices as you buy in bulk, but these are closer to retail prices. Next time try bulk buying online. Buy the Lots is a great place to start. In fact, Buy the Lots taps eBay's expansive marketplace and focuses on pulling out only items in bulk sold by many reputable eBay sellers.

To become a wizard at saving money here is what you can do. Think about what you buy every time you are at a grocery store. Are any of these products non-perishable? If so write these products down on a piece of paper. Next time you are at a grocery store, find these items and record their prices. If the product comes packaged with more than one item, also write the number of items in the package next to the price. Next, calculate the price per item and put this list somewhere for a rainy day. Next time you are browsing the Internet, take the list out and try some searches on Buy the Lots. The more items you buy the more you save on each item, so if you have the space to store stuff for a while and know these products aren't perishable you should try to locate listings with the highest quantity of items. When you find a listing, calculate the total cost of the bulk lot by adding the price of the item with the shipping cost. Next, calculate the cost per item. Record this number next to the similar product you found at the grocery store. Next calculate how much money you'll save after this single purchase: subtract the cost-per-item from Buy the Lots from the cost-per-item from the grocery store and multiply that value by the number of items you are planning to purchase. You could be saving hundreds of dollars, lots of your time spent shopping, and countless trips and gas money to the store just by sacrificing some of your own storage space at home and a few mouse-clicks and strokes of a keyboard. After you've mastered your home budgeting, next try saving at work. If you own your own business you will be amazed at the time and cost savings bulk buying brings to the workplace. Anything from office supplies to store inventory can be purchased right on Buy the Lots.
