The Big Bulk-Buy Mistakes Montana Shoppers Make

How Buying In Bulk Doesn't Always Save Money

So many Montana residents are working hard and surviving paycheck to paycheck.

It's not just here in the Treasure State either, as all across America, people are looking for ways to save money.

Why Costco And Sam’s Club Are Popular In Montana

One of the easiest ways is to buy the products you need in bulk.

Places like Sam's Club and Costco, commonly referred to as warehouse stores, offer their members the ability to purchase what they want in massive quantities.

For example, instead of a 12-pack of soda, they sell 35 packs and do so at a lower price point per ounce than normal grocery stores.

The Hidden Downsides Of Buying In Bulk

Just because you can buy all these items in bulk doesn't mean it's the best idea or that every purchase means you're saving money.

When you're at the store, you might be thinking, "I use this a lot, so I'll buy a lot, and it'll save me money," which is all well and good for something like razor blades, but what about items that have an expiration date?

Go Banking Rates has put together a list of items that you should reconsider buying in bulk because more often than not they end up costing you more money, or at the very least you end up throwing your money away.
