Lookout supermarkets: Bunnings is now offering bulk cleaning products!
- Replies 6
Most of us have become quite accustomed to going out, doing a top-up shop at the supermarket and hauling home the usual cleaning agents. You know, the five-litre bottles of laundry liquid, the 20-pack tablets of dishwasher cleaner, the 3-litre bottles of disinfectant we sometimes buy outside of our regular shopping days?
But did you know that you can now find all of those bulk cleaning products–and loads more–at your local Bunnings?
That’s right, the iconic retailer has just extended its range to include over 2000 additional cleaning products from brands like OMO, Finish and Dettol. These brand-new products are spread across eight categories, including laundry, dishwashing, hand washing and irons. And best of all, Bunnings said its selection will be cheaper than the supermarkets, but come in larger sizes.
'Customers will no longer need to wait for their favourite cleaning products to go on sale at the supermarket as Bunnings will deliver customers with an even wider cleaning range with bigger quantities and better everyday prices,' Jen Tucker, Bunnings Director of Merchandise said.
Let’s break it down. Bunnings is charging $13.99 for a three-pack of Morning Fresh 900ml Lemon Dishwashing Liquid dishwashing liquid, compared to $28.50 at Coles. A 60-pack of Finish Quantum 60 Pack Lemon Sparkle All-In-One Dishwashing Tablets is $21.95 at Bunnings, while Woolworths is currently charging $23.50 for 60 tablets. Bunnings is also offering a 4.2L bottle of OMO Pro Laundry Liquid for $32.98, compared with the $35.99 being charged for the same product at Mitre 10.
In addition to selling bulk cleaning products, Bunnings is now also engaging in social media to promote its products.
'Last year, a video we shared of crazy paving being pressure washed had over one million views and, more recently, a tutorial on how to use all-purpose cleanser Bar Keepers Friend had nearly 150,000 views and more than 1,600 saves in 48hrs,' Tucker said.
Impact of Bulk Buying on Consumer Spending Habits
Bulk buying it’s not just a cultural phenomenon but also has a significant impact on our spending habits. Traditionally, bulk purchases were associated with big families or hospitality businesses, but with Bunnings expanding their bulk cleaning product range, even single households can jump onto the bulk buying ways.
Why does bulk buying benefit the average spender? Well, purchasing in bulk predominantly saves money. The large quantities that come with bulk buying often have a lower unit cost. Who wouldn’t love to nab a deal where their dollar stretches a little bit further?
Moreover, bulk buying can save you those extra trips to the supermarket because you run out of laundry detergent ahead of your weekly shopping trip. Reducing impromptu trips also means reducing the likelihood of making unnecessary or unplanned purchases, ultimately saving even more money in the process.
Additionally, from an environmental perspective, bulk buying can also help to reduce packaging waste, making it a choice that’s not only easier on the wallet but also kinder to our planet.
So members, if you want to dramatically reduce your supermarket bills–and upgrade your cleaning supplies–you might want to check out your local Bunnings and stock up on their bulk cleaning products. With cheaper prices and bigger sizes, it definitely pays to extend your shopping list. Do you also buy in bulk to minimise your spending? Let us know in the comments below!
