5 Reasons to Buy in Bulk  -

02th July 2018

If you’re a restaurant owner or in the catering industry, you and your employees probably have a grocery routine that’s quite different from the regular consumer’s. Not only do you have to make sure that your pantries and kitchen cabinets are fully stocked and equipped, but you must also ensure that everything is of top quality. This is where buying in bulk comes in – it ensures that you have the right quantity as well as a number of other benefits. The team at Hi Trading would like to share some advantages of purchasing food products in Malta in bulk. 

 

1. It’s cost-effective

The key to saving money when buying in bulk is to aim for a low cost per unit. Once it’s as low as it can possibly get, you should buy as much as you possibly can. Units are not measured in single products (for example, one bottle of vinegar or one can of olives) but in ounces, grams or millimetres. Take the total cost of your purchase and divide it by the number of units; like this, you can figure out how many units you will be buying. 

 

2. Food remains fresh

Most food importers have high stock turnovers, which means that they are constantly replenishing their goods. As a consequence, whatever products they have will be newly fresh and of the best quality. Bacteria and other germs are eliminated by keeping the stock in temperature controlled environments. 

 

3. It’s perfect for large events or gatherings

Bulk purchases ensure that you have enough food for all the guests, and because they’re delivered right to your doorstep, they also save a lot of time and hassle. Planning becomes a lot less stressful when you know you have large quantities of supplies to fall back on. 

 

4. It reduces packaging

Food bought in bulk does away with single-use plastic or excessive packaging. Certain wrappings or storage materials can also release harmful chemical components into the food; buying in bulk avoids this particular problem. It’s also eco-friendly, as less packaging material means less waste to get rid of, which is beneficial to the planet as a whole. 

 

5. Certain foods keep well over time

We’re mainly talking about rice here, of which most grains (basmati, jasmine, white) have an indefinite shelf life. Rice lasts over an extremely long period of time, making it an ideal food item to buy in bulk.
