BUY IN BULK

You like your brands and you are a loyal customer, but that doesn’t mean you can’t be green while you get what you want.

Buying in bulk not only saves a lot of money, but since more product is bundled together, less packaging is needed, thus less waste. If you have some excess storage space or a friend to split the goods with, invest in a wholesale warehouse membership and start buying in bulk. You can stock up on non-perishable items like toilet paper, toothpaste, deodorant, paper towels, and CF (compact fluorescent) light bulbs.  And where else can you find the 12 pound bags of baking soda and multiple gallon jugs of vinegar (see previous post) you’ll need for cleaning?

Some stores also offer a wide variety of fresh and frozen foods organic foods at prices that will pay for your membership in just a few weeks!
