Cutting costs is one of our big musts in this house so we’ve discovered that the benefits of having a storeroom hidden away, and lots of unused cupboard space, is buying in bulk over Shopee! 
Our first bulk buy is our laundry detergent. We only do indoor drying, so we love Top’s Odour Buster series (that is somehow not found in Singapore’s supermarkets). We have only seen it in Malaysia or on Shopee. 
Indoor drying of bad smelling clothes is a double whammy, so we religiously use these Downy Infusions: Refresh laundry beads when we use the washing machine daily. Despite our indoor drying, our clothes always smell good. 
The last laundry item we buy in bulk is Vanish Oxi Action Powder for our whites. As a cream/white minimalist household, our bedlinen, hand towels and floor mats are all white so this helps keep our whites extra white. 
You may only see five bags, but there are five more behind. Toilet paper is often bulky to carry, and it doesn’t make financial sense to purchase just one or two bags each time, so we buy it in bulk as well and never have to worry about running out. 
The last item we purchase in bulk is tissues. This was not intentional as we lasted our first few weeks in our home without proper tissues. Alas, due to a series of miscommunications, we ended up with bulk purchases of tissues (packets and boxes) but as someone who regularly suffers from the occasional sniffles, that’s not something I’m complaining about.
