Bulk Buying Done Right

Amish communities take bulk buying to expert levels, and not just because it’s a good deal. When they stock up, they mean business—flour by the sack, jars for canning, and enough fabric to clothe a village. This helps them avoid repeat trips and save money by purchasing essentials at lower per-unit prices. They buy in bulk because large families and community gatherings make Costco-level quantities seem modest.

Plus, they’re all about planning ahead, so running out of anything mid-recipe isn’t an option. The takeaway is buying more upfront means fewer splurges and less gas burned on constant shopping trips—bulk truly is beautiful for the budget.
