Do you buy stuff in bulk?

Last year I bought a 3-4 year supply of black tea and around 120 servings of green tea costing me around $280 dollars.

and this year I purchased 66 servings of collagen powder and I’ve only had 2-4 servings so far cause I don’t like the taste

I also bought 100 pencils and I only use 1 pencil every 1 - 4 months since I usually type my notes.

It’s catching up to me cause I do balance transfers every half year or so to avoid paying interest on my credit card

Mostly I buy my groceries fresh on a daily basis. I have several grocery stores within walking distance along with a farmer's market so it's pretty easy to just grab things as I need them.

I do like to drive to Costco though (it's over an hour away from where I live) and buy things in bulk that have a very long shelf life such as popcorn kernels (one of my favorite low-calorie snacks is stovetop popcorn with salt and no butter or oil), baking soda, gelatin, sugar, salt, and all-purpose flour.

anytime there is a mention of a food scare I buy food I dont even eat in bulk. I'm on Keto but i stocked up on beans, rice, ramen, pasta, canned fishes, canned veggies, and fruits just in case. Sad I might have to end up throwing them all out in 5 years but better safe than sorry.

Yeah, sometimes. Things like certain non-perishable food items, toothpaste, soap, socks (I do a lot of walking and outdoor activities, so they wear out fast), etc. Just regular items I know I'll use everyday. I used to buy lots of clothing, simply because it was a really good deal, but I got tired of having a closet full of stuff that was just sitting and waiting to be used, so I wound up donating a ton of stuff (a lot of it was still brand new) and now I no longer hoard stuff just because it's a "great deal". Overall, I have really pared back all of my possessions to just the bare essentials, and I'm much happier for it.

Some stuff, and some stuff I should but don’t lol
bought a ton of stuff at Costco the other month.

I prefer local village shops thought tbh and buy as I need

I only stuff in bulk if i know i would be able to consume within a short period of time, otherwise its a waste of money if that thing gets spoiled coz of my low consumption

Mostly no, but it depends on what it is.
