FROM FOX NEWS: As families head into the holiday season, many shoppers assume warehouse clubs and big-box stores are the smartest places to save — but consumer experts warn that jumbo purchases can quietly drain your budget.
“Buying in bulk seems like the smart move when trying to afford food during this expensive season, but it can backfire,” Andrea Woroch, a money-saving expert based in California, told Fox News Digital.
Key grocery staples such as produce and dairy are pricier than last year, so experts say shoppers should be selective, starting with these five items that are rarely a good deal in bulk.
The bulk items that may be a waste of money are as follows:
1. Fresh produce
2. Milk/yogurt
3. Bread and baked goods
4. Bulk spices, rice, and olive oil
5. Chips, crackers, and nuts
