Buy In Bulk And Save As Much as $550,000.00 For Your Retirement
Ok, I know that the $550,000.00 seems excessive just by buying in bulk, but as you will see below, I will prove to you how you can save every month by buying in bulk and turning around and making that savings grow into a massive retirement fund.
As promised here’s the method we use to save money when we buy in bulk and save a ton of money over time. We just implemented this method before our last son was born. This was perfect timing for us because as you know, newborns are a handfull and if we can spend the least amount of time in the kitchen and more time with our newborn, the better.
Buy in Bulk And Save
The idea with this is to buy in bulk and save at Costco, cook as many meals as you can for a few days, then divide them into your own family portions, you then vacuum seal each meal and finally freeze them. Ideally, if you had a separate freezer, it would allow you to store more meals for a longer period of time.
This method is so convenient, because for several months, all we do is pull out a package from the freezer which already has our family portions divided up and we then either warm it up inside the bag in a pot of boiling water or reheat it over the stove. Very easy and fast.
To vacuum seal the meals, we use a Food Saver which you can buy on Amazon or at Costco. This method basically sucks out the oxygen out of the bag and compresses the food into a small sealed bag. By compressing the bag, it makes it convenient for storing in the freezer and it uses less space.
What are the benefits to buy in bulk and save?
Well, the obvious reason is that you buy more food for less money. Another benefit is that by using the vacuum seal, you preserve the food naturally in a vacuum sealed bag which will last longer with little-to-no freezer burn to the food. Additionally, you avoid having to throw out expired foods.
On one of my previous posts I shared a study done by NBC news where they found out
Retire Rich
that the average family throws away over $2,200 in food each year. If you were to save only half of that money each year and instead invest it into a retirement savings account at 10% interest, your investment would grow to over $550,000.00 in 40 years or $205,000 in 30 years.

Based on my personal experience I have found that I can buy in bulk and save, but it’s more important to do something with that money and make it work for myself so I can have a very comfortable retirement nest fund.
