If it is a nonperishable you are eventually going to buy anyway, like canned goods or paper products you can save time and money by stocking up when you spy a super bargain. While I would not normally encourage you to do something “gross” I would encourage you to consider buying some things by the gross or at least in large quantities as a way to save time. That’s because the original grocers were food wholesalers who bought and sold large, or “gross,” quantities of food. The word “grocery” comes from the word “gross” which means 12 dozen or 144 of something.
