Buying food in bulk to save money is a fantastic option Wayne. I try and always buy the essentials (Toilet paper, Canned Soup, Tissues, Soap and more) in big bulk purchases, that way I know I will have them on hand at all times and ideally save some money by buying in bulk.

Are there any websites available for bulk buying items and groceries in Australia?

Try to buy in bulk at all possible opportunities, and if you see a product that is a popular brand and product/item, and it is heavily marked down, then buy big and stock up, because most people will buy one or two of these items each shop whatever the product/item is.

Rose is correct many supermarkets do have 2 day specials. As a department manager of a large grocery chain, I can tell you these are fantastic. Sometimes 50% off the original price. I would however like to say if you are flexible and change your day of shopping each week you can save thousands of dollars in just one year.

Apparently the best day to shop at the larger supermarkets is a Friday. That’s the day they put up their weekend specials.

Interesting article and in this time of global financial crisis, very timely.

One way to save money is to buy your groceries online. You save because research shows there is less impulse shopping and people buy to their list more. If you are smart, you can also look for free delivery slots and by signing up to all the delivery companies you’ll often get money off offers by email.
