The phone bill came yesterday. It was significantly larger than normal. I have no long distance, no caller id, and no call waiting, and I’ve saved a significant amount not paying for each of those over the years. The increase was enough to make the change to getting a cell phone. I haven’t had a…
Elsa’s dress is a new-to-us dress this week from a garage sale. I reprogrammed the drip system to water a few minutes less per day, since the weather is starting to cool down (I know these are high summer temperatures for many of you in colder climates!). I opened the windows to cool the house…
We had a beautiful birthday for Elsa this week. I made presents for her (more on those in an upcoming post). I made Eiffel Tower chocolates and from-scratch cupcakes with homemade cream cheese frosting for her. Winter made a banner for her. I cut daffodils from the garden to decorate the table. She picked her…
I spent most of last week in the garden, getting it ready for the garden tour that I had on Saturday. I didn’t do a lot of “extra” things last week, but I certainly enjoyed my time outside! I harvested lettuce, spinach, Swiss chard, parsley and chives from my garden. I also picked a few…
This past week was a week of freebies more than a week of active frugality. We were given a bag of apples from someone’s tree. We received 10 pounds of ground beef that someone was getting rid of, as it had been in her freezer for over a year. She gave it to us in…
I wish I could! 🙂
I wonder what resources for bulk food purchases exist in Finland. Does anyone know?
Does Costco ever do this?
Hi!I love Sam’s Club. I have a plus membership it is really worth it.Pat
For individuals – none. We have bulk stores, yes, but you can make purchases only if you have a cafe or a restaurant or any kind of business (you need a business serial number for the card). They are just bulk stores, selling stuff in bigger packages, but the prices are quite normal. So, when we happen to have something with reduced price in a grocerie store there is a sign *Not for re-sellers* That doen’t mean that the sale is a good deal but the bulk prices are so high… 😀
I have never heard of them doing this. Perhaps someone else will know. Their prices are very similar on many staples, but they also carry many different things from one another, and their membership prices are vastly different.
I’d like to add that we get grain in bulk from Farmer’s Market (I grind my whole wheat flour) I think the price is very good, 0,70€/kg for organic wheat -> about 41 cents/lb
I went to this, spent way too much money, and ended up joining. The price was $40 with a $10 gift card if I joined today (probably this weekend) and 25 box tops (?, oh well, we’ll take them for my daughter’s old elementary school). While I can get some things for less when they are on sale, they have some things we like, such as the frozen Angus cheeseburgers on a bun for about $1.25 each (8 in a box for $10). I’m a single mom who works outside the home and the burgers are great when my teenage daughter gets home from school and is starving (at least she thinks so). Their bulk yeast works very well and I just keep it in the freezer until I need it. The bread flour is a good deal, too.I really admire those of you who grind your own wheat and make almost everything from scratch, but that just isn’t happening in our house due to time available so buying some things in bulk (granola bars for my daughter to take to school for when the hunger pangs hit mid-morning) is really helpful.
