Buy Bulk products and save hundred of dollars

Check out your local Food Coop (http://www.localharvest.org/) your Farmer’s Market or Local mom and pops grocers for bulk products.  Not only will you save money on gas, but you will save yourself time and buy more for less.  Except for staples that you need to replenish frequently, such as, milk, eggs and bread (which can be purchased during other errands), shopping locally will spare you the cost and headache.

My local Food Coop sells bulk products, such as beans, rice, produce, spices and other staples.  For being a member at my local food coop, I automatically get 2% off any product in the store which is a lot considering the prices of organic foods today.  If I wish to save more I can work 3 hours a month, get 10% off or work 12 hours a month and get 26% off my bill.  Can’t beat that!  And the best part is my family and myself can split the hours scheduled to work for the month among each other.

Another way to save time and money is to compare local prices. Don’t drive all around town to get the best prices, check out www.shoplocal.com to do an instant online search for the cheapest prices at stores near you while you save on gas.

Also, use the “Yellow Book” or the internet to call around and find the best quote for products and staples for your home.

Financial Blessings,
