Buying in Bulk
Shoppers have enjoyed the convenience of buying in bulk for a number of years. My own bulk buying experiences have been hit and miss at best, but I recently discovered just how convenient buying in bulk can be.
There are a number of advantages to buying in bulk: - some items are available only in bulk - you can choose the quantity - bulk prices are usually less than packaged prices - less packaging - less additives and preservatives when you make your own meals and mixes - more variety - often healthy alternatives not always otherwise available
When you buy in bulk it's a good idea to get your cupboards in order. There are a number of ways you can store bulk items:
- recycled plastic containers and glass jars - Rubbermaid or Ziploc containers (4 4-cup Ziploc containers cost less than $2) - resealable bags - for some items (e.g. oatmeal) you can re-use the original container
A key to bulk storage is labeling. Make sure all containers are air-tight and clearly labeled and dated. Bulk items have a long shelf life because they have been prepared with long-term storage in mind.
I've always wondered if bulk items are as fresh as packaged. In my experience bulk items have been very fresh--even
raisins! You'd be amazed at all the things you can buy in bulk. Here's a partial list to get you thinking of the possibilities:
Baking: - flours - cornmeal - spices - chocolate, carob, peanut butter, butterscotch chips - raisins - sugars
Grains: - granolas - oats (regular, quick-cooking) - rice (all kinds) - cereals (all kinds)
Dried Fruits: - pineapple - apricots - raisins - papaya - bananas - apples - cranberries - prunes - dates
Beans: - split peas - navy beans - pinto beans - kidney beans - soy beans - soup blends
Pasta: - spaghetti - lasagna - elbow macaroni - egg noodles (all shapes and sizes)
Nuts: - peanuts - sunflower seeds - almonds (whole, slivered) - walnuts
Vegetables: - sun-dried tomatoes - peppers
