Gas-Saving Moment of the Day: Buy in Bulk

Posted by Published in Car Buying

If you’ve seen the new film “Wall-E,” you know that the downfall of human civilization can be attributed to bulk retail stores like Buy ‘n Large. However, when it comes to saving on fuel, buying in bulk can be environmentally friendly and save you money.

Ask yourself how often you construct trips to the grocery store, hardware store or other retailers. Unless you’ve already got your family’s shopping down to an exact science, chances are you could cut back even further.

First of all, you???ll save at the register, particularly whether you???re buying in bulk with reduction coupons, or whether you???re getting items that are on sale. Secondly, the more you spend on one trip to the grocery store and the more food and basic necessities you stock up on, the fewer return trips you???ll

have to build each month.

The key is to not run out of one fundamental item that will send you driving back to the store amoung trips. For instance, after a trip to the grocery store, you might realize later that night that you???re out of toothpaste, so you drive back the next day, probably spending less on the toothpaste than the gas.

The fewer reasons you give yourself to manufacture multiple trips for basic items, the more you can pinch your pennies when it comes to gas. In other words, stock up on toothpaste.
