Thanks to Costco, BJ's, and other warehouse clubs many people buy in bulk these days. While a single trip may be pricey, shopping this way can save you both time and money. The challenge of course is where to store and how to keep track of all the excess product you now have at home. Using a powerful home inventory solution like Stockpile makes it easy to manage everything.
Kitchen
Warehouse clubs often have good deals on bulk food items but these can be the trickiest to manage. Many food items need to be used by a certain date to ensure quality and freshness. Store them for too long and they won't be edible. You're not saving any money if you end up discarding spoiled food. Because Stockpile is fully customizable you choose which fields to include in item records. This allows you to track information like use by dates right in your records. Thanks to areas and locations you can be very specific about where items are stored. If you have overflow that won't fit in the cabinet or pantry in the kitchen you can store it in another room with confidence knowing that you'll be able to locate it when you need it.
Other kitchen items such as paper towels, napkins, cleaners, and more are also good to stock up on. These do take up a lot of room however. Often they need to be stored in the garage or some other out of the way location. You won't forget where they are if you use Stockpile powerful home inventory solution. You'll be able to see how much you have and where you're keeping it at any time.
Bathroom
There are lots of personal care staples that you can bulk up on. Shampoo, conditioner, toothpaste, dental floss, soap, the list goes on and on. Again, the biggest issues you'll have are finding a place to keep all the extras and remembering how much of it you've got. Adding item records in Stockpile is quick and easy. It may seem silly to create a record for something as small as a pack of floss, but it will seem very sensible when you avoid buying more because you know you already have four spares at home. All these little savings really add up and isn't that why you shop at bulk stores to begin with?
Miscellaneous
Cleaning products, office supplies, and other miscellaneous items can be hard to keep track of. They often don't have a set room that they belong in. Because they can be used in various places throughout your home they are often kept in multiple different locations. With Stockpile finding them will be easy.
