Are you use to buying and shopping!!?.... However,in this our daily lifestyle Shopping or buying is something we all do, whether we need foodstuff, clothes, or household essentials, we all need buying and shopping. But let us not forget that how we buy things really affects our pockets, our daily routine, and even our future expenses. Some people buy in large quantities (bulk purchase), while others buy small and only when needed (single purchase). In this my write-up as a participation of a contest organized by @okere-blessing, I’ll break down these method of shopping so that anyone can understand and decide what suits them best in these economy we are.


Explain Bulk purchase and single purchase in a layman understanding.


Bulk purchase, simply means buying items or goods in a very large quantity at once not twice. For example just like buying a whole carton of noodles instead of one pack or purchasing a full bag of rice instead of just a few cups. This method is mostly used by business people, big families, or anyone who wants to stock up on a smart way.

Single purchase, on the other hand, is buying one item or a small quantity of good as needed. Instead of getting a full carton of milk, they can buy just one tin of milk. Also Rather than buying five packs of detergent at once, in single purchased you might buy just one. This method is commonly among people who prefer fresh goods or have a limited budget and a single person.


Between these two which one is your favorite? And why.

For me, bulk purchase is really my favorite. Here’s why I said so:

  • It saves money a lot over time. Buying in bulk often comes with big discounts, meaning I will have to pay more lesser per item than when buying one by one.

  • It can reduces stress since I don’t have to rush to the market all the time I need something. Having my items stocked up in the house brings more peace of mind, especially when prices suddenly increase over time.

  • It helps me with planning—instead of me buying daily or weekly, I only buy once and forget about shopping for a longer period of time.

Yes of course, I must say that the bulk purchase really has its own downsides, like needing more money ahead and requiring more storage space. But for me, the advantages outweighs the challenges it has.


Which of these two can you advise someone to carry out?

However at this point, this really depends on the person’s financial situation, lifestyle, and shopping habits.

  • If you have a stable income and enough storage space, bulk purchase is the best because it saves more money and prevents unnecessary going out the market .

  • In the other hand If you earn money little by little or you prefer fresh items daily,single purchase may suit you better.

  • If you live far from the market or prices do come up and down at any moment often, bulk buying makes sense because you won’t have to worry about sudden and unexpected price changes.

  • If you don’t really have much storage space or can’t afford to buy plenty at once, single purchase is more safer at the moment.

So, my advice is this:

"Buy in bulk when you can afford to, but don’t force it if it doesn’t fit your situation or lifestyle ."


Some people believe bulk purchase is only for the rich while single purchase is for average person what is your take?


Well, many people in the society think that only rich people buy in bulk while the average person or local person buys one by one. But this is not true!

Even people with a very low income can buy their things in bulk if they really plan it well. Instead of you buying in bulk on a rush ,suddenly or urgently with a large amount of money, you can start small small. For example:

  • If you need a rice instead of just buying a full bag of rice, you can simply start with half a bag at first.
  • Also instead of buying the whole carton of milk or biscuits, you can simply start with half a carton.

Well,gradually you will see how bulk purchase helps you save money over time. On the other hand, even rich people sometimes prefer single purchase—for fresh foods, occasional goods, or things they don’t really use often.

So, bulk buying is not just for the rich people—it’s for smart shoppers and people who know how to manage their expenses wisely.


Conclusion


In all, both bulk and single purchase have their advantages in any moment. The best choice really depends on ones income, shopping style, and his or her needs.

If bulk buying saves more money and reduces stress for you, go for it. But if single purchase fits your daily budget more better, that’ also fine too. The important key is to spend money wisely, avoid waste, and always think ahead of time.

Anytime I'm about shopping, I always ask myself: “Do I buy plenty now to save later, or just small to manage today?”

In the other hand Whatever the decision is, make sure it benefits you in the long run. Smart shopping is really the key!

You're right, we we talk about bulk buying, it simply buying in big or larger quantities. For example and selling Malta Guinness for 15700. Someone who want to buy in bulk can just come and buy a whole pack for himself. Do you know the advantage? Because in single purchase the prices is always higher than buying in bulk. Let reason the malt again. Inmu area one Malta Guinness is sold at 800 per one. Calculate 800×24(there's 24 pieces of malt can in one pack).
You'll get 19200 if you decide to make a single purchase.
Can you see the difference? 19200(single purchase)×15700(bulk purchase)= 3500

You can imagine the money you have save in spending, a while 3500. But doest that means everyone should go for bulk buying even when you dknt have the capability to do so? Of coursenot.

The best way to shop is by budgeting, by then you'll know which one you should go for. But what am trying to say here is that there's a lot of benefits you can gain from bulk buying.
