Have you ever come home from the grocery store and notice how much packaging is used to seal a box of 6 granola bars, and you bought 3 boxes of them? You are probably left with a good amount of paper cardboard that you have to recycle now. However, there is a way to avoid excess packaging and also make your granola bars a little bit cheaper. The answer is buying in bulk. For example, when shopping at your local Costco or Sam’s Club, a box of granola bars will contain 20 or more in one box, reducing the amount of excess cardboard for individual boxes of 6. About 8 cents to every dollar is used for packaging costs in food production. When configuring the individual price of each bar, the package bought it bulk will be cheaper. So before you buy a smaller package of food at the grocery store, think EGOlogically about how much packaging and money you’d be saving if you bought it in bulk.
