Only Buy What You Have Room For

Impulse buys are all too common when it comes to bulk stores like Costco. People get easily tempted by sales, purchasing items that they don’t really need or don’t have room for at home. Such is the case when it comes to paper towels or even water. Unless there’s a major emergency or you have a huge household, a cart-full of these items seems a bit much.

The general rule of thumb is to only purchase what you need. Unless you really need bottled water, why not opt for a Brita or a filter instead? These are great investments, financially and environmentally.
