What to buy in bulk
Christmas is coming and the goose is getting fat' as the song goes; at this time of year it is advisable to do as a wholesaler and stock up on essential items in bulk to see you through Christmas and into the New Year.
So first, assess what guests will be coming and how long they will be staying for; then begin to compile a list of what you need and how much, and take your list to the local wholesalers or supermarket to purchase anything that can be bought in bulk, and stored for a while.
Buying in bulk can be cheaper as many retailers and wholesalers will offer a discount when you buy multiple items of the same thing.
Here are a few essentials that are always handy to buy in bulk provided you have the space:
Toilet Roll One guest or one hundred, you can never have enough toilet paper, and running out of it has to be the single most annoying thing on the planet.
Cleaning Products Better value in larger containers, it is ideal to buy cleaning products and washing powder in bulk, as these don't have a use by date either.
Teabags & Coffee Teabags and coffee have a long shelf life, and it is handy to have lots in the store cupboard so you can provide any visitors with a nice hot cuppa whatever time of year.
Freezer Items Provided that you have a large or chest freezer, it makes sense to buy frozen goods in bulk. Firstly, there are often special offers that apply, and also freezer goods (due to their frozen state) tend to have a long storage life, so after a hard day at work when you haven't had time to shop there is a supply of food at your disposal.
And a few Christmas Extras:
Soft drinks Buy in bulk to mix with drinks and for the influx of child visitors that generally are around during the gift-giving season.
Booze It is a lot cheaper to buy larger quantities of bottles and cans of alcohol. Alcohol has a long shelf life, and it is nice to be able to provide a nice Christmas drink to any visitors who may call.
Store cupboard items and non-perishable goods As long as you are sure that you have space and will eat any store cupboard items eventually, it is a good idea to buy these in bulk. A whole manner of different foodstuffs can be stored from tins of beans and soups to pickles, chutney's and jams. These are inexpensive when bought in large quantities and will be sure to last you until well after the festive season has finished and you are reaping the rewards from the New Year diet. Get the store to deliver if the tins and jars will be too heavy.
Chocolates and sweets Gorging on sweet treats is never advisable, but at the festive time of year we all like to treat ourselves. Buying treats in bulk keeps costs down and ensures that you always have a little something special to offer guests with their Christmas tipple.
