If you have ever wondered if buying in bulk actually saves you money – you have come to the right place!

In this article, we are going to do a deep dive into many of our most popular foods and help you figure out exactly how much money you will save by buying in bulk quantities.

Is buying from Z Natural Foods’ bulk section cheaper?
Yes, after a careful review of five of our best-selling foods, the average savings when buying in bulk is 44%. A cost analysis of Coconut Milk, Whole Milk Powder, Butter Powder, Orange Juice Powder, and SuperGreens reveals that a person who buys in bulk sizes will save as much as 60% per serving as compared to purchasing a standard 1 lb bag.

While you could spend more money buying in bulk if the foods you choose go unused, it is possible to save a lot of money buying foods you most enjoy from the bulk section.

Let's review some of our most popular foods and show you how you can get more value for your money.

These five foods show you how much money you save buying in bulk

Many companies have prices set based on specific pricing standards. Many are set based on a carefully analyzed mix of customer purchasing habits and product cost.

Z Natural Foods also sets prices based on customer habits and food costs, with a couple of very important differences.

You see, while a lot of food companies charge you the highest possible price in exchange for cheap, low-quality, sugary, highly addictive “food” products… this is not the case at Z Natural Foods.

It’s exactly the opposite at Z Natural Foods, actually.

In fact, we strive to deliver to you:

The highest quality product available, at a

Fair and reasonable price

Delivered safely and quickly, all while

Supported by friendly customer service

With that, let’s get into some of our most popular foods and cost analysis to see if buying bulk sizes makes sense for you, too.

Cost per serving comparison of 1 lb vs 5 lb vs bulk sizes of five favorite foods

There are many advantages to buying in bulk.

In general, buying bulk is always cheaper per unit. This is a clear advantage. For instance, if you buy an item in bulk, you’re saving money on a volume basis.

For example, let’s review the cost savings on purchasing a 5 lb bag compared to a standard 1 lb bag, reviewing five different popular foods:

Item	1 lb	5 lb	Cost per lb when buying 5 lb size	Your Savings
Organic Coconut Milk Powder	16.99	64.99	$ 13.00	23%
Butter Powder	16.99	59.99	$ 12.00	29%
Whole Milk Powder	14.99	49.99	$ 10.00	33%
Orange Juice Powder	16.99	79.99	$ 16.00	6%
Organic Supergreens	26.99	109.99	$ 22.00	18%

As you can see, you have big savings starting at 6% for Orange Juice all the way up to 33% savings on Whole Milk simply by buying a 5 lb quantity rather than a 1 lb quantity. This also lowers your cost per serving in the same exact proportions.

So, for example, there are 75 servings of Coconut Milk in a 1 lb quantity. That’s a little more than two servings a day per month. If there is more than one Coconut Milk drinker in your family, then it would make sense to purchase a 5 lb quantity in order to save 23%.

Additionally, the biggest savings in this example is on Whole Milk Powder. Whether you enjoy this incredibly versatile product for cooking, baking, the convenience of pantry storage, or the need to stock up for your long-term emergency supplies, it makes sense to purchase a 5 lb quantity over a 1 lb in order to save 33%.

These are huge cost savings and we haven’t even looked at Z Natural Foods’ bulk quantities yet, as defined as any size larger than our standard 1 lb and 5 lb quantity.

6 Reasons customers shop Z Natural Foods’ bulk foods

Now, let’s look at our bulk quantities.

Bulk sizes at Z Natural Foods vary based on the product.

Typically, many of our foods can be bought in bulk sizes that are 50 lb or 55 lb quantities. Oftentimes the bulk size may be lower, such as Organic Coconut Milk Powder which comes in a 33 lb quantity.

Why would you want sizes this large with so many servings per quantity?

Customers enjoy these larger sizes more frequently than you might think, for a variety of reasons. Here are six reasons why customers buy foods in bulk:

Many customers like that they can save money while stocking their pantries with the foods they most enjoy, knowing they will consume the product within a year or two based on the product.
Some customers have large families and love the convenience of buying in bulk, ultimately saving them time and money in many ways beyond just a decreased price per pound and a lower cost per serving.
Customers tell us they are stocking their shelves preparing for unknowns in the future, such as a potential jammed-up food supply chain, rising inflation rates, and increasing food costs.
An increasing number of customers report to us that they are stocking up their shelves in case of emergency, whether from simply not being able to get to the store, looming gasoline and energy costs, potential natural disasters, or other emergencies.
Many customers simply love that buying in bulk reduces the amount of waste and is better for the environment, requiring less packaging, a reduction in shipping resources, and less overall strain on the earth’s resources.
Lastly, many customers buy bulk because it’s their business. Literally. Many of our customers own storefronts, own smoothie shops, have developed supplement formulas, own restaurants, and need large quantities for their bakeries and even hotels.

These are all reasons why buying bulk, whether 50 pounds or more makes a lot of sense. Regardless of your reasons, buying in bulk is cheaper.

Let’s now finish off and look at some more actual cost savings using these same popular foods from our example.

Item	1 lb	Cost per lb buying bulk	Bulk savings per lb vs 1 lb quantity
Organic Coconut Milk Powder	16.99	$ 9.09	46%
Butter Powder	16.99	$ 10.00	41%
Whole Milk Powder	14.99	$ 6.00	60%
Orange Juice Powder	16.99	$ 11.82	30%
Organic Supergreens	26.99	$ 15.45	43%

As you can see, buying in bulk provides substantial savings in cost per lb and therefore, in cost per serving.

Based on these five random examples out of more than 300 incredibly wonderful natural foods in our store, the cost savings and benefits of buying in bulk are huge.
