15 Foods You Didn't Know Were Cheaper in Bulk — All Under $5 at Walmart

Is the big size really cheaper? A former grocery fresh-foods manager walks you through 15 everyday foods that cost less per ounce in the bigger package at Walmart — every one under $5 — and how a household of one or two can actually finish them before they go bad. Mustard, mayonnaise, bouillon, jelly, flour, oats, white vinegar, raisins, tea bags, baking soda, whole peppercorns, vanilla, frozen chopped onions, popcorn kernels and frozen mixed vegetables: the unit price on the shelf tag, how long each one really keeps, and the small-household trick for every item. Plus the times the bigger size is NOT the better deal.
