Lets say I can buy 200 of something for $20. but for $60, I can buy 750 of them. How can I quantify the money saved as cost per unit?

    Besides the math to determine per unit cost, you might also need to consider the opportunity cost of having so many.

    • How long will the bulk supply last?
    • Is it something you will get tired of having?
    • How much space does it occupy?
    • Is it perishable?
    • Will it expire?

      • Will you really use that many?

      I used to buy engine oil and filters in bulk, then car needed to be totaled. Difficult selling oil as a private.
