Worst foods to buy in bulk

Big containers of junk food. They will inevitably go stale, Bodge says.

They will inevitably go stale, Bodge says. Cheese. It doesn’t freeze well, advises Bodge. It doesn’t freeze well, advises Bodge. Fresh or frozen fish. It has a very high water content, and freezing it for too long can result in flavor loss, says Altman. It has a very high water content, and freezing it for too long can result in flavor loss, says Altman. Olive oil. It has a limited shelf life. Don’t buy fresh fruits or vegetables in bulk that you don’t plan to freeze within one week, warns Jones. And unless you eat eggs daily, don’t ever buy eggs in bulk, because they typically expire within three to five weeks. Some of the best savings from bulk shopping can often be on non-food items. In particular, Bodge suggests, watch out for great deals on paper products like toilet paper, paper towels, tissues and napkins. She’s also a big fan of buying plastic wrap, plastic storage bags and garbage bags in bulk.

Where to buy in bulk

For most folks, says Bodge, it comes down to which warehouse membership store — Costco, Sam’s Club or BJ’s Wholesale Club — is located closest to you. If it’s too far to the warehouse store, it’s probably not worth getting a membership, she says. If you are not planning to use the warehouse store at least once a month, it’s also probably not worth it. Membership fees for the three clubs are between $50 and $60, but what’s most important is how much you’re saving overall on the bulk purchases. If you’re not saving 20 to 40 percent, it’s probably not worthwhile, she says. Instead of purchasing a full membership to any warehouse store, Jones strongly suggests seeking a trial membership, which is usually free. This way you can see if you like the store and the warehouse shopping experience. BJ’s, for example, offers one-day shopping passes on its website to nonmembers, and it sometimes offers three-month trial memberships.

Other places to buy in bulk:

Your butcher. The savviest way to buy meat in bulk isn’t at the local warehouse store or via an online delivery service but by striking up a friendship with your neighborhood butcher, says Altman. That means introducing yourself and letting the butcher understand your needs. For regular customers, a butcher is often willing to cut larger pieces of meat into smaller offerings and sell them at a discount. The more you purchase, the larger the discount. If you don’t have a local butcher but you do have a local farmers market where there’s a butcher, you can sometimes strike this same deal. When freezing meat, Altman advises, make sure to double wrap it in plastic and seal it first. Home delivery. This method of bulk food buying has somewhat limited appeal because of high delivery charges. At FoodServiceDirect.com, shipping fees are waived on orders over $750, says CEO and managing director Mete Gumus. That can mean buying a lot of food. Sometimes families in the same neighborhood combine their bulk orders so that they can meet the minimum purchase for free shipping, he says. His company specializes in specialty products for health-conscious consumers who might, for example, want less sodium in their canned beans. If you take the bulk food plunge, remember the two most critical rules. Date and label every item you freeze, says Altman. And, says Jones, always place the newer items toward the back of the freezer and the older items toward the front.

gobankingrates.com - Here's How Much Cash You Need Stashed If a National Emergency ...

Many people are reluctant to keep large amounts of money in their homes for fear of theft or misplacement. Keeping cash at home is risky, especially when it’s in large denominations. A home break-in is the type of emergency you won’t have money for if your cash supply is stolen — physical money isn’t insured and it’s unlikely to be recovered. Finding secure and clever places to hide your emergency fund can safeguard the security of your assets; think of it as making a bank within your home. Common advice is to keep some cash at your house, but not too much. The $1,000 cash fund Prakash recommended for having at home should be kept in small denominations. “Favor smaller bills like twenties because some retailers won’t accept larger notes,” she said. However, when looking to store your money in a compact fashion, larger bills in fewer quantities take up less space — so it’s up to your discretion. Whatever you decide, stash your cash away in a practical, yet unorthodox way. “If you’re going to have cash at home, make sure it’s in a quality, fireproof safe,” Hogan said. “This is more secure than the usual suspects — under the mattress or the coffee container! Be reasonable with how much you put in the safe. It’s OK to keep a couple thousand at home, but I want you to keep the bulk of your money secure and protected in a bank.”
