MONEY SAVING TIP :: HOW BUYING TOILETRIES IN BULK SIZES SAVES YOU MONEY





Here is a price comparison to show you how you can save up to 57%, just by purchasing the same product in a larger size.  The reason for the higher cost of the smaller product is due to the cost of more packaging.


If you compare the same product in a different size, the largest size available is always the cheapest.  Not only that.  The larger size will take longer for you to go through one bottle, which means less trash, less trips to take out the trash and more time to catch on Netflix!  That's savings for you, and the earth.


BULK BUYING TIPS
  • Buy in bulk size only when you already know you love the product and will be using it frequently.
  • When you're trying a new product, consider getting the smaller size to make sure you love it before you commit to purchasing it large quantities.  If you end up not loving it, you only wasted a smaller amount of money on it.  Of course, you can always try returning it for your money back.  If it's not worth the hassle, consider donating it to a friend who might enjoy it more rather than dumping it in the trash.

MY FAVORITE BULK BEAUTY PRODUCTS

I'm happy to share the top 4 beauty products available in bulk that I keep buying year after year.  All of these moisturizing products come in a variety of calming scents.  As with all household products used in our home, these products do not contain harmful chemicals (i.e. parabens, phthalates, etc) that are bad for your skin.
