I’m a budgeting mum – there’s 7 items I bulk buy from Costco and the posh washing machine powder isn’t even the best
A MONEY-SAVING woman has shared the clever way she saves money by bulk buying specific items from Costco.
Known as @budgetingmum on social media platform TikTok, Bethanne shared that she goes to the retail giant to get the best deals on products from brands such as Fairy amid the cost of living crisis.
“Bulk buying in Costco to save money…” she wrote. “Here’s a few bits I saw in Costco this week.”
She continued: “If you have space bulk buying can be a great way to save some money.
“We always get our laundry tablets from Costco because I love the smell of the Fairy ones and it’s a better deal to but it in bulk”. [sic]

While it sells for £22.80, she explained that it works out to “19p per wash”.
Tea is another item she bulk-buys from Costco. The Yorkshire Tea boxes come with 480 teabags and is sold for just under £10.
“Best tea ever – don’t anyone tell me differently,” she wrote over it.
She also buys a variety pack of canned fizzy drinks, which comes with Sprite, Dr Pepper and Fanta, and sells for £12.82 – working out to “42p per can”.
