When it comes to shopping, the idea of buying in bulk often conjures up images of towering stacks of paper towels or family-sized jars of peanut butter. But, there’s more to bulk buying than just stocking up on snacks and cleaning supplies.

Savvy shoppers know that certain household items are not only cheaper when bought in larger quantities, but they also help you avoid those inconvenient last-minute trips to the store.

Here’s a look at seven household items you should always consider buying in bulk.

Toilet Paper

Every home needs toilet paper, and let’s face it, nobody wants to find themselves in a situation without it. In addition to saving money, the majority of bulk boxes are made to be conveniently kept in closets or beneath sinks. It all comes down to having peace of mind when it comes to toilet paper—knowing that you have enough on hand to last for the foreseeable future.

Laundry Detergent

Laundry is one of those chores that never seems to end, and if there’s one thing you don’t want to run out of, it’s detergent. By buying laundry detergent in bulk, you know you will always have enough to get through your weekly loads. Larger containers also tend to have a lower cost per load, making it a financially smart choice. Whether you prefer liquid, pods, or powder, buying in bulk means you can take advantage of those savings, while also cutting down on packaging waste.

Trash Bags

Trash bags are one of those items you don’t think about until you’re out of them. And, it seems that you always run out at the worst time. By buying trash bags in bulk, you can avoid that frustrating moment when you realize you’ve just used your last one. You’ll be sure that you’re always prepared for the inevitable need to take out the trash.

Dish Soap

Just like laundry detergent, dish soap is something you use regularly and can quickly run out of if you’re not careful. Buying dish soap in bulk is a practical way to save money and reduce the number of plastic bottles you go through. Many bulk options come with refillable dispensers, making it easy to top off your existing bottle without adding to the landfill. Plus, having plenty of dish soap on hand ensures your kitchen stays clean and ready for meal prep at all times.

Paper Towels

Most of us don’t realize we need paper towels until we use the last one. From wiping up spills to cleaning windows, they’re indispensable in most homes. Buying them in bulk means you’ll always have a roll within reach when you need it. And, since paper towels are something you’ll always use, buying in bulk is a smart move that saves both time and money. Just find a spot in your pantry or closet to store them, and you’ll never have to worry about running out.

Toothpaste

Dental hygiene is something you don’t want to skimp on, and toothpaste is a daily necessity. Buying toothpaste in bulk ensures you’re never caught squeezing out the last drop when you’re running late in the morning. It’s a small item, but one that adds up in cost over time. Bulk purchases typically offer better value per tube and often come with options like multi-packs of your favorite brand. This way, you can have healthy teeth and gums without frequent trips to the store.

Batteries

From TV remotes to smoke detectors, a surprising number of household items rely on batteries. Buying batteries in bulk is a no-brainer, if you want to avoid the hassle of dead devices. Bulk packs typically offer a lower cost per battery and have long shelf lives, so you won’t have to worry about them going bad before you need them. Having a stash of batteries on hand means you’ll always be ready when your electronics need a charge.

Buying household items in bulk isn’t just about saving money—it’s about making life easier. Always having essentials like toilet paper, laundry detergent, and trash bags on hand means fewer of those dreaded “we’re out” moments and less stress during busy daily life. So, next time you go shopping, think about which items you can buy in bulk to save time, money, and maybe even a little bit of sanity.
