Some things will costs more when we break it into smaller batches. I just bought a pkt of 1kg almond slices at $15.50 for my Swedish Cake. Noticed if I buy the 250g pkt, it costs $5.10 which works out to almost 25% & the hassle of going frequently to shop. Gotta to weigh all costs incl time & travel, unless it’s perishables like veggies that can’t keep.

It is common that prices are cheaper if we buy in bulk or bigger packets.

For me, the grocery shopping is always done by my \"bull\" alone. I just write down what I want to buy, then the \"bull\" will go to NTUC to carry these items back home.
