Quite often it can save you quite a bit when buying goods that you would buy anyway. I have tried a new strategy with buying in bulk. I went down to my local butcher shop in town and bought 50 pounds of meat (a variety of types including a whole chicken, pork, breakfast sausage, ham, steak,...). According to my calculation, I saved a bit of money and the butcher wraps them in paper and they are all ready to be frozen as soon as you get the meat. Also, I like the quality: the meat is cut after you place the order, so you know it is fresh. I agree about the value of joining the “club” or getting the “rewards card” for the local supermarket.
