Buy Groceries in Bulk Too

I used to never buy items in bulk until recently. But now I have become a real fan!
Those big bins are easier to find now at various grocery stores, such as Sprouts and Winco. Prices are sometimes nearly equivalent to boxed items, but often buying in bulk is cheaper and you can buy the amount of product that you need.
For instance, I rarely use baking powder, but I needed some the other day. I hated to purchase an entire can, which I knew I would use once and then throw away two years from now. So I checked to see if it was sold in bulk, and sure enough, at about 80 cents per pound, it cost next to nothing to buy just a few spoons worth.
I was surprised that so many items we often use are available in bulk. There are dried noodles, various dried grains and rice. There are nuts and candies, and even spices. This picture is of some sesame seeds I just bought. One whole aisle is even for dog food and treats.
So again, I have to say, why pay more? Especially when you only need a small quantity of something, there's no need to waste money. Try it!
