I buy in bulk whenever possible, particularly organic grains, flours, herbs and spices. Even made my own boags from organic muslin so I don’t have to use the plastic bags at the store!

I try to buy as much bilk as possible – a great way to get organic/non-GMO at a better price. Best way to go bulk is to bring your own containers to avoid the plastic ones at the bulk stores.

I buy in bulk whenever possible. My challenge is staying within my budget. It can be hard to judge how much you’re getting out of the bins; and I often end up with larger amounts than I planned on getting. Once you remove the product the store can’t put it back in the bin. Either you buy it or they throw it out if you refuse to get it.
