There is more than one answer to that question. If the demand is high and you are reasonably certain that you can move the goods then buy bulk. If what you are buying has a long shelf life or isn't going to be updated any time soon then buy bulk if you are reasonably sure you can make it move. If what you are considering buying has a long shelf life and you won't need to buy it very often but you need to allocate funds for a certain time other than the time you are considering buying bulk goods...then buy bulk and don't buy any more of the same product until you need to. If you are uncertain as to how much you will need and also equally uncertain as to its availability and it has a long shelf life then buy bulk...keep enough around so you don't have to worry about a supply problem. You also have to consider how much space you have for storage of anything you might wish to buy in bulk. If what you are buying fits the criteria of having a long shelf life, you can't afford to be without it, and you are not sure if a speedy delivery is possible at all times it might be wise to make space for it.

it works out good for the manufacturer because they get to use your house as a warehouse instead of their own property, at the same time they have your money to work with and finally, and it a biggy, one generally consumes more if they have it availalbe
for example
I once bought a box of 30 sleeves of microwave popcorn at Sam's, I ate it in 15 days. I ate it at home, I ate it at work, I may have even given a few away at work. Needless to say that was the last time I bought bulk on anything that I don't use in very rigid increments (like laundry detergent where I only use so many units per week)

Hey, who doesn't need 72 rolls of toilet paper all at once? It's a damn good deal!

More for your money. Chose how much or how little product you get.
