Bulk buying has always been a hot debate in Pakistani households and retail shops. Is it really cheaper to stock up on products in larger quantities, or is it just a psychological trick? To settle this once and for all, we decided to compare 10 everyday items — from detergents and rice to cosmetics and stationery — by calculating retail prices vs. ReBox bulk bundle prices. The results might surprise you.
The Psychology of Bulk Buying
Research shows that shoppers associate bulk purchases with savings and convenience. But in reality, not every bulk purchase leads to lower costs. Factors like packaging, storage, and expiry dates play a huge role. At ReBox, bulk bundles are curated from clearance and overstock items, which means they actually provide genuine discounts compared to standard retail.
