Owning an SUV with a large boot and flexible seats can be a blessing when it comes to bulk buying and saving money. This way you can buy everything you need and more in a single go. You also don’t have to leave a passenger or two at home to make space for all the shopping bags. Not even to mention the fun you’ll have going on road trips where everyone fits into one car (while saving on fuel too)!

According to The Balance, an online platform for the publishing of financial editorials in the United States,  experts estimate that buying in bulk could save you as much as 83% on some items. You’ll find strength in numbers and pay less per unit, because bulk items don’t come in fancy packaging and require less advertising which all adds to the unit costs that must be factored in with per item display in store.
