Do other DFW Bulk Buy?

Crown

Evening all,

Just got back from my weekend job at Tesco and ended up buying 20 cans of Deodorent on a BOGOF offer. No, I dont have a problem with sweating but decided this would save me a fair bit of money as I buy a can of deoderant around every 2-3 weeks. I have decided that im going to stockpile stuff I use why it is on offer. I am not going to buy stuff just because it is on offer as that will defeat the object. EWven if I dont use all off this by Xmas then people will be getting it wrapped up as presents lol :rotfl:

Anyone do this?

I also have stopped buying the branded shower gel and am using all the the tolietries that people have brought me over the years and I never use. I have been using up all the stuff that had accumalted in the cupboard so this was one of the first times I have done any toiletry shopping since Xmas last year! Its amazing how long the stuff lasts.

Anyone else do this or have I taken my Next into Step into DFW Nerdness?

i bulk buy as much as i can just spent a fortune in costco yesterday it does work out cheaper for us in the long term (unless ofcourse like me your freezer breaks and the insurance only pay out £150 to cover the cost of replacing the goods) but deodorant toilet roll anything infact if it's something i use and i can then bulk buy

DEFINITELY one more step to becoming a TOTAL DFW NERD, Crown. :rotfl: :rotfl:

Mind you can't open our understairs cupboard without being bombarded by Kitchen towels and toilet rolls. :eek: :eek:

As for the garage - well who ever parks their car in the garage anyway?

I would love to, but I just don't have room to store anything. My tiny little house is already bursting at the seams with the four of us and all our stuff. Not sure that the solution (buy a bigger house) would be very DFW?!?!

me me :j i do... mostly tolietries... i like avon stuff so i buy them when they are bogof/half price and store them under my bed... i also do the same with crisps/water, but i must say working in wholesale really does help

If you work in wholesale can you offer us any buying tips? do wholesalers normally only deal with with trade accounts? does itr work out much cheaper than for the average person to buy wholesale or to go to the big chains?

I now am in the market for a years worth of Razor Blades or anything else I can get my hands on at a reasonable price

Yep I do this... I have a very scary cupboard in the kitchen. Its currently filled with around a years worth of loo rolls (I live on my own! :rotfl: )

Oh and I have a hall cupboard full of toiletries (bought from boots online via pigsback for points, buying it all when it was triple advantage points and with discount codes and free delivery ) so the essentials are covered for ages but they wont all fit in my tiny bathroom!! I am using the boots points I got from this for anything I forgot too (toothpaste... how did I forget that one?? ) :rotfl:

I normally do if its something I will use anyway, like washing up liquid and washing powder - and its always a shock when you realise you are down to your last pack. Finding it VERY hard at the moment as I'm using everything up to save packing it for when we eventually move.

PAP I am an Avon rep - just think how much stuff I have lol but again I have been very good lately!

Costco I think lets people join who are in various employment not just shop owners etc. I believe things like working for a bank or in education qualify.

I love the Avon shampoos - I buy them when they are 99p, which is about every 6 months.....so I suppose I do bulk buy a bit!
