It's no secret that bulk buying is synonymous with getting the most bang for your buck. You pay the initial higher price upfront, yes – but then you get to sit back and relax knowing that you're not only saving quite a bit of money in the long run but also repeat trips to the supermarket. Who doesn't want to prioritise convenience over everything?

Here are the things I always bulk buy from Amazon – and when you realise just how much you're saving, you'll want to do the same.

What to bulk buy on Amazon

To preface, I live in a flat in London and unfortunately don't have the luxury of a car. So, my only options are to take the bus or walk to my local supermarket. However, while I can brave the commute with my weekly food shop, there are some things I'd rather not lug home with me.

So I've opted to just bulk-buy them from Amazon to save me the extra legwork - and it pays off. These are my top bulk buys to stock up on.

FAQs

Seeing as I not only save money but also time by choosing to bulk-buy, best believe I'll be riding this train for as long as it lets me so I can continue to enjoy great savings and no-stress shopping.

Why should I bulk-buy from Amazon?

Amazon is a great retailer if you're looking to bulk-buy your household items as their pricing typically gives you more value for money than other warehouses. Not only that, but they also have a 'Subscribe & Save' option that will guarantee you exclusive lower pricing when you schedule repeat deliveries, ranging from every 2 weeks to every 6 months.

For most items, you can save 5% upon initial purchase and up to 15% when you schedule 5 or more repeat deliveries to one address – meaning you can save even more money and save yourself the hassle of checking out every time.

How do I get started with Amazon's Subscribe & Save?

When you browse through your typical household items, before you 'Add to Basket' you should see a tab for 'Subscribe & Save'. Simply select how often you want your deliveries scheduled and click 'Set Up Now'.

Amazon will send you a reminder before each delivery and you can choose to skip or cancel at any time with no fees. Delivery is free on all repeat deliveries, however, do note that non-Prime members may incur a fee for their first subscription delivery.
