Buying in Bulk- Valentines Day Treat Bags

February 8, 2018 by Alex Daynes

Have you ever bought anything in bulk? It is my favorite way to buy things! When you figure everything out, it almost always is cheaper to buy things in bulk! Sure it adds a little extra time and prep on your part, but it is almost always going to be so much cheaper! Just this week, my mom needed a little treat for her Primary class for Valentines Day. When looking at the grocery store, we found a decent size baggie of heart shaped candy, we were looking at close to $5 per bag, and she needed 6 of them. That’s $30 plus tax in prepackaged candies. When we bought the same candy in bulk and made up our own baggies, it ended up being close to $2/bag, and we made up 12 of them!

I bought my bulk candy from Sweet’s Candies, but I am sure you can get it other places too. I love buying in bulk! We also bought our Clear Party Baggies from Amazon. It was $4 for 100 bags, and we will use them all year long! See, buying in bulk again saves you big time!

What are some of your favorite things to buy in bulk? I like to buy candy, rice, beans, chocolate chips, granola, trail mix, and dried fruit to name a few! Leave me what you love in the comments below!

Valentines Day Treat Bags

10-12 clear party bags
1 three pound bag juju hearts
1 three pound bag sugar coated cinnamon hearts
1 three pound bag cinnamon lips

Evenly divide up the candies into each bag, and seal with a ribbon or twisty tie! Give them out as gifts, for a class, or to friends!

A delicious cheeseburger patty topped with homemade aioli, caramelized onions, red onion, lettuce, and tomato served in a warm pita bread pocket. These Red Rock Burgers are my copycat recipe for one of my favorite cheeseburgers from Red Rock Brewery. They are always served with carrot chips and a side of ranch dip. It’s the perfect easy summer dinner and a fun shake-up to your typical burger night!

One minute you’re the cute pregnant lady crushing One minute you’re the cute pregnant lady crushing it at the gym, and the next everything is softer, weaker, and feels heavier. 

You no longer have the visual explanation 🤰 for how you’re feeling on the inside.

You may look “normal” again but you don’t feel yourself. 

Your clothes don’t fit like they used to. The weights are lighter than normal. The workouts don’t feel like they did before. 

You have to work to find yourself again. 

I always say exercising after birth is much harder than exercising pregnant. 

Keep showing up. Keep pushing. Keep rebuilding. 

The bump may be gone and with it go the compliments from strangers telling you that you’re doing a great job. If no one has told you lately, please know that you’re doing a super great job!! 

You birthed a whole human!! It isn’t selfish to take care of you, while taking care of them!!

Agree or Disagree?? I was so nervous to have ano Agree or Disagree?? 

I was so nervous to have another baby after my daughter because honestly everything felt so hard the first time. Everything was new, I was constantly nervous, filled with anxiety, and often times couldn’t imagine adding any more kids to the mix. 

Fast forward to 6 weeks in to two kids and I am loving it! I’m a more confident mother, I know what I’m doing and I know what to expect, expectations are manageable and above all I’m so happy. We are thriving instead of just surviving the newborn phase this time around! 

Having all the knowledge, tools, and gear made this 1-2 transition so simple this time! But we do still need a double stroller so big sis doesn’t have to ride in the basket underneath 😜 drop your favorite doubles below!
