Tightwad Training Camp Archive

Thanks for visiting the Tightwad Training Camp blog. This blog is now in archived-only status with no new posts. I've decided to leave it online & accessible due to a request for the information within the older posts.

If you are interested in both frugality and healthy eating, you might enjoy my other blog, Supper In Seconds, where I present recipes from scratch that take 10 minutes or less hands-on time to prepare.

30 Days of Tips - Bulk Business

Tip #10: Certain things really are much cheaper when purchased in bulk. Here are some examples:

• dry active yeast - purchase at warehouse store for $3/pound
• spices - health food stores carry these in bulk for a fraction of the cost of the little grocery store containers
• organic coffee - buy at Wild Oats for $12/lb or buy online from The Organic Coffee company (Spend $30 at once & get free shipping, too. Split coffee with friends or freeze until needed.)
• vinegar for cleaning...always buy the large bottle
• specialty magazines (not owned by the library) you love and/or want to keep for reference....it's always cheaper to get the subscription
