Cash and Carry/Wholesalers etc?

Hi, I'm new here, although have been getting the email for some time. Currently on long term sick benefits, and am looking at ways to save money.
I've got a tiny little windfall (yay!!!) and am wondering if I could bulk buy some of my stuff - washing powder, detergents etc - from a bulk buying site, or outlet, and stock up for a while.
Trouble is, most of them want you to be a business or charity (and whilst I'm hard up, I'm not quite a charity yet!)
Does anyone know where I could buy stuff in bulk, and obviously therefore cheaper without having to be a business?
I'd also like to get a halogen oven - it really riles me to have to put the main oven on for my daughter and I or just me.
Any information will be very gratefully received
:T

    Not true I am afraid, I did that last month and I had to go back with my inland revenue certificate or company registration document or anything official that proves I have a business along with a trade invoice for more than £50 dated within 2 months.
