Do you usually buy in wholesale or retail?

It depends on the type of item, for long-lasting items like toothpaste and toothbrush, soap etc, I buy at least 6 pieces in bulk at a cheaper price than buying individually. But for items that are not long-lasting or expire quickly I will buy individually.

That's also what I'm doing. I buy in bulk bath soap, toothpaste, laundry soap, body soap, toothbrush and boxes of milk while their prices are still the same. I was told that February next month soar double. Let's expect the worst.

Yes if you are even buying to stock up your home you can buy wholesale and get discount for it

Wholesale buying is good for big-time businessmen. They will retail the products that may suit the budget of the buyers.

I buy both wholesale and retail products. Sometimes, I prefer to buy in bulk, especially when I have extra money to spare. This helps me save time by reducing frequent grocery trips.

Wholesale prices are always lower than buying individual items. Buying in bulk also means fewer orders per year and therefore lower shipping costs overall,”

I actually do wholesale all the time. I do grocery once a month intention being to save costs and to be able to take advantages of the month end discounts.

There are products that are perishable so I cannot buy in wholesale, Only rice is bought wholesale to save time.

I have experienced that when I buy in wholesell, I have to spend a lot of money, which otherwise could have been used for other things. When you buy bulk, you also spend more.

I only buy one sack of red rice good for three months for three mouths lol. Other stuff like like milk, soap, meat and others in retail. We live near the market and city mall.

It is not every time that I get to buy in wholesale. That's because I don't have the cash for wholesale every time.
