This is a valid point! We are a family of 5, so when we buy in bulk we only buy stuff that we know will be used up before it expires. I wonder how many people waste money buying in bulk like this only to lose money in the long run?

Lately, I'm considering the online purchasing of white Greek yogurts in bulks to save on shipping expenses (it's a particular brand of yogurt not sold offline in the supermarkets of my city, but the best for people who suffers from SII). Knowing I consume big amounts of white Greek yogurts due to my SII and being the timeline of these yogurts 40 days since shipping, I know I won't waste a single penny. it's 30 yogurts in all and I eat 2 or 3 per day. But mine is a peculiar case that doesn't apply for everyone, I know.
