I don't know why I never thought to buy the biggest container I can. Now I know! Not so sure about peanut butter, though, unless you're feeding a large family.

It's the only way to go. It lasts us so much longer and we can go a good 4 months without having to buy another one. We also just bought Peanut Butter in bulk, it will last forever. Another item we found last week was spaghetti. Instead of paying 2.00 for a little box, we paid 8.00 for a huge large big bag, that has already lasted us 2 feedings.

If you have the freezer space, it is the way to go! We have a 27 cubic foot monster in our basement, it came with the house because they had built walls around it and had no way of getting it out!

The only thing I feel like we really eat more of because we buy in bulk is fresh fruit and veggies (because we have to eat them before they go bad), but I don't feel like that's a bad thing since you are supposed to eat a lot of those anyhow. Some things we just don't eat quickly enough to buy in bulk, so I buy those and a few MaryAnnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13253503049272771754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4553990294643991122.post-48029644679704844172009-03-23T11:42:00.000-04:002009-03-23T11:42:00.000-04:00My favorite bulk item is vinegar.

I love it!<BR/><BR/>We buy paper goods (I did cloth diapers, but we're still using other paper products *although we have cut our paper towel use by about 50% with adding some cloth options*), frozen foods and meats. <BR/><BR/>We have a freezer in the basement, so we buy huge quantities of meat and freeze it.
