Bulk Buying

[guest2013-1]

Okay so I was gonna buy bulk this month (but then I got high)

So I'm planning to do it for next month (going to drive through to Brakpan unless I can find another place for chicken/beef or whatever at nice prices)

I was wondering, Milk. Normally I buy that long-life stuff, but not sure if it's healthy? So was thinking of buying normal milk and freezing it perhaps?

I hit Makro once a month... Certain items they are cheaper on.

Long life milk is just treated with higher temperatures (UHT = Ultra High Temperature)

I usually just buy normal milk and freeze it, but with the price of milk as it is there's not much benefit in bulk buying IMO

Were you thinking that while high? Why won't it be healthy?

Makro has almost everything (but not all of it is the cheapest out there!) - a good choice if you want to get everything in one go.
If the plan is to save money...be careful that you don't drive all that saved cash away...

Nah get the UHT milk and store it in a cool-ish spot in the house.

For some things a perma marker and writing the buy date on it makes sense too.

Also, extra petrol cost for driving somewhere kills the gains fast.
