Purchasing in bulk appears to be great. You get everything you desire and need and supposedly pay a lot less for them. Plus, you dont need to shop so often. This is great for those who hate shopping and love discounts. Yet, bulk buying has risks, as well. Therefore, it is time to learn about budgeting basics.

Buying in bulk

Many people believe that bulk buying is a great alternative to save money. While this seems a good way to avoid breaking the piggy bank, buying in bulk often costs individuals a lot more than they imagine.  It is not about purchasing more of a specific product to enjoy the bulk deal, but by purchasing and substituting a low-cost product. Purchasing in bulk is often known as something you do not require a lot of at a cost you cannot miss. This practice has become popular and quite widespread.

I just came from one of the most fantastic Thanksgiving holidays with a couple of my friends along with our family. We Drove to Smoky mountains from south Florida, where we enjoyed mountains; Getting away from the plains of Florida was a good change before we officially greet the holiday season with open arms.

Of course, there was turkey and plenty of activities and laughter. But what made me happier is the fact that I was able to save a lot of money from the trip; yes, plenty of money. To give you an idea, my total expenses was around 50 percent off the amount I spent last year.

This article is part of the yakezie blog swap event where bloggers swap articles with each other in order to reach out to new audience. This is good for readers as well, as they get to taste a different perspective on personal finance from a different writer.

This article is written by Shanendoah at The Dog Ate My Wallet, a blog about managing your personal finances in a world full of easy excuses. If you wish, visit her blog to read my story.

The truth is, there are probably a number of things I never go cheap on- things like tires or high end kitchen gadgets –things that I expect to last a number of years, and the reason I don’t go cheap is that the pricier items actually last longer than the cheaper ones, making them, in fact, cheaper in the long run.

Never Miss Good Opportunities to Spend Your Money

This post was written by Shaun, writer of the blog Smart Family Finance. He writes to inform and educate young families about good spending habits, saving tips and intelligent career decisions.

Having adhered to the laws of frugality and spending, my family ends the month using only $80 of the $100 budgeted for family entertainment. An extra $20 now resides comfortably in the family bank account and initially, I’m elated. It’s a badge of honor and a testament to my family’s self-control and frugality. We knew it would be hard to adjust to $100, but we met the challenge and did $20 better. So, why am I so bothered by coming in under budget?

For some this feat of spending will-power is a goal worthy of aspiration. We tend to view every budget limit as a ceiling meant to be raised by lowering the floor. But for me, I feel unsettled when my family misses the budget goal, even when we’re under it.
