I allways bulk buy anything i use when it is on special offer. Fabric conditioner, tinned products, jar products, wash powder, tea-bags, toilet rolls, sugar, cans of beer, nappies, wet wipes, sauces. The list goes on. After years of trying to convince my mother, she has now seen the light and buys in bulk when on offer. Amazon do some good deals on non perishable items as well.

I too always bulk buy special offers of things I usually buy. Morrisons just had robinsons juice on 50p a ltr so I bought 11 bottles as my 2 kids will get through a ltr in roughly 2 weeks, I also bulk buy toilet rolls (usually from co-op as they do periodic offer of 2 x 4rolls quilted velvet for £3.50) curry sauce as hubby loves a tikka masala, washing powder, coffee, tea. I also bulk buy meat for the freezer if its in the reduced section or on a good deal

I love to bulk buy, in that way am never out of stock, just low....:D. I bulk buy tin stuff like sardines, tuna, cornbeef etc, toilet rolls, washing up liquid and laundry powder, shower gels, nappies, wipes, rice, pasta, sugar, tea, toiletries, drinks and whatever else I use on a very regular basis. I usually bulk buy them when they're on special offer.

I bulk buy from the online, shrt dated out of date sites. As long as you don't get buying fever (100ish bags of marmite crisps at one time springs to mind) & don't mind out of date food then you can save loads.
I bought catering packs of bread mix, I think 99p for 3.5kg,enough for 100 rolls, it's now months out of date but still behaves as it should & tastes good.

Commercial cleaning products are considerably cheaper to buy than anything you will find in a supermarket.
For example the multi-purpose cleaner concentrate I buy is about £10 for 5L if you diluted it for use as an off the shelf RTU household cleaner you would dilute it on 100:1 ratio giving you 505L of multi-purpose cleaner for £10 at other dilution rates it can be used for different purposes so the same product works as an oven cleaner, ink/grease/oil stain remover, a chewing gum remover, carpet cleaner fabric cleaner/stain remover & disinfectant amongst other things. This is a safe to handle, non toxic, biodegradeable citrus based product not a harsh chemical cleaner that smells like a school or hospital in case you are wondering.

Products like this are available from any janitorial supply company who will also sell things like bulk packs of toilet rolls, laundry detergent, soaps etc at low prices too.

You may have to buy your own spray bottles if you don't have any old ones around & spend a few seconds diluting the concentrates to the required strength but neither of these things should be a problem.
