Buying in bulk can lower the unit price, but only if you use it all. Food you throw away isn't a bargain.
Good bulk buys
- Rice, oats, dried beans and pasta
- Canned goods you use often
- Frozen vegetables and fruit
- Meat you'll divide and freeze right away
Think twice
- Fresh produce you can't use in time
- Spices, which lose flavor
- Snacks that disappear faster in bigger packs
