the ONE thing you shouldn’t buy in bulk (and one thing you should)

Hi reader,

When I was an extreme couponer, I knew that stocking up was a great way to save money.

I didn't need to be a mathematician to know that buying four boxes of cake mix at 25¢ each now was cheaper than buying four boxes of cake mix at $2.50 later, even if I didn't have plans to use four boxes of cake mix this week.

But then I quit using coupons, quit eating pre-packaged and processed food, and had to figure out how to stock up on healthy food… a.k.a. the stuff we couldn't afford AND actually expired (the proof is in the wet and mushy spinach).

Lesson #1: You should NEVER buy what you don't like, in bulk.

For example, a family who hates spinach shouldn't buy spinach in bulk.

This may sound like common sense, but I hear from my internet friends (i.e. YOU) all the time that you bought the mega-huge back of organic spinach at Costco because it was a good deal (and organic!) and you wanted your family to eat more vegetables.

You have nothing but good intentions - I get that - but we also have to be realistic. If your family has turned their nose up at spinach for the past umpteen years, buying it in bulk won't change that.

Lesson #2: You should ALWAYS buy what you love, in bulk.

For example, I love the grass-fed collagen from Perfect Supplements. I've mentioned it numerous times before via email how it makes my hair grow long, my nails grow strong, and my skin healthy looking.

It's also known to help heal the gut, heal wounds, and it's a major player in strong muscles!

Plus…

It's the star ingredient in my Nutella Collagen Protein Bars and 3-ingredient Homemade Chocolate Pudding and Elderberry Gummies (via gelatin, which is cooked collagen).

It's how we boost the protein in Blueberry Cheesecake Smoothies and Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Nice Cream and Homemade Fudge Pops.

It's one of the most affordable sources of protein at just 65¢ per serving!

(Here's my official write-up on the health benefits of collagen, including my side-by-side comparison of another popular brand.)

I always make sure to stock up anytime Perfect Supplements has a sale, not only because it's literally the best collagen I've ever tried, but because my husband started sneaking into my stash too.
Apparently he loves it as much as I do, LOL.

Well guess what?!
