Some items are always appreciating not to mention the fact that the pressures of inflation will always result in price increases. Some of these products are very basic in the household like tea leaves, soap and the like. It is always prudent to buy them in wholesale if you have some disposable cash to save on costs.
I do agree with goods purchased in wholesale by the buyer has something benefit in doing it so. Cost saving is one especially if you are a store owner and you are selling those goods. Actually business wise, products sold in wholesale scale has an appended discount for the prospective buyer to enjoy. The seller could have a new stock for that matter.
We always stock on non perishable items like soap, shampoo, and other toilet and kitchen needs. When there is a bulk sale, we get a big discount in toothpaste, laundry and bath soap and also dish washing soap. It has been our habit to wait for bulk sales and we seldom buy on regular prices.
