9 things I always bulk buy on Amazon Prime Day to save money all year round
Save not only money but also endless trips to the supermarket
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?
Seeing as Amazon Prime Day is right on our doorstep, we don't think there's a better time to get your bulk buying done than today while all the deals are hot. However, we advise you to act fast because it's the last day to secure some Prime Day exclusives.
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 too.

9 things I always bulk buy on Amazon Prime Day
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 Amazon Prime Day is even more reason for me to stock up while I can.
Hexeal White Vinegar (10L) | £10.99 at Amazon
If you're one to favour more natural cleaning hacks, then we're sure you know full well how effective a cleaning agent white vinegar is. Given all the ways you can clean with white vinegar, we know how in demand this household essential is, so bulk-buying only makes sense.
This will save you a year's worth of having to buy white vinegar and £48.91 in savings annually (you're welcome).
Bakings Soda, Sodium Bicarbonate (5KG Bucket) | £16.85 at Amazon
When we talk about natural cleaning methods, white vinegar and bicarb more or less are always grouped in the same category.
So if I'm bulk-buying white vinegar, best believe I'm doing the same with bicarb. You can finally say goodbye to those tiny little containers of supermarket-bought bicarb because this will last you up to a year! Not to mention, you can also save £21.85 yearly.
Presto! 2-Ply Embossed Toilet Tissues 45 Rolls (5 Packs of 9) | £25.19 at Amazon
We know there's nothing quite as humbling as having to commute home carrying a huge pack of toilet roll. It's not very glamorous, to say the least.
However, bulk-buying toilet roll will save you from having to worry about a lack thereof of it for at least 6 months. No more emergency trips to the supermarket in the late hours of the evening – and you can enjoy around £16 in savings every 6 months.
Variety Pack: 100 Nespresso Compatible Pods | £27.49 at Amazon
If you're an avid coffee drinker in need of a quick fix, then the best pod coffee machines are the perfect addition to any kitchen. If you're tired of constantly running out of pods or just want to try some new flavours, this variety pack of 100 capsules will set you back just 27p a capsule.
Finish Quantum Infinity Shine Dishwasher Tablets | was £27.00 now £13.78 at Amazon
If you have a dishwasher at home then you know how frustrating it can be when you run out but are left with a huge load of dirty dishes.
This pack of 100 dishwasher tablets from Finish is on offer right now and will only set you back 14p per wash.
Fairy Original Washing Up Liquid (Pack of 2 X 5L) | £29.90 at Amazon
Washing the dishes is something we can't get away from, especially if you don't have the luxury of a dishwasher. Get ahead of yourself now while it's early and bulk buy it so you're never left having to make the most of the last drop of fairy liquid. This will save you from having to buy it again for up to a year.
Carex Hand Wash Refills (Pack of 2 x 5L) | was £26.00 now £21.49 at Amazon
If you're bulk-buying washing-up liquid, then it only makes sense to do the same with hand wash. The beauty of buying hand wash in these huge bottles is that you can neatly decant it into your favourite hand wash dispensers to match your bathroom or kitchen ideas.
Regina Heart Kitchen Towels (20 Rolls) | was £17.99 now £29.90 at Amazon
In the same fashion as you would want to bulk-buy toilet rolls so you're never left in a tight spot, the same goes for kitchen roll. Bulk-buying this pack of 20 kitchen rolls will last you up to 4 months with regular use.
Amazon Basics Microfibre Cleaning Cloth (Pack of 12) | £8.38 at Amazon
Amongst the many Amazon Prime Day cleaning deals, there's one thing that remains the common denominator for them all: cleaning cloths.
It doesn't seem like a lot to just buy them again and again for roughly £1 a pack, but if you can save yourself the hassle and bulk-buy now, it will last you up to 2 years and only set you back 70p a cloth.
Seeing as we not only save money but also time by choosing to bulk-buy, best believe we'll be riding this train for as long as it lets us so we 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.
You can find out more information on this Amazon page.
