is buying bulk items on sale basically investing lol?
this is just a random thought that came to my mind when shopping.
when we invest, like into stocks, we buy them and expect their value to rise, so we can sell them for profit.
but like, why do we need to sell them? because well, there is nothing else you can do with the stock.
but what if it wasn't a stock but an item, like **coffee** **beans** for example.
let's say you buy 1 package a month for $10 this is essentially a 120$ expense every year.
but let's say your store has sale, now it's only $5 a package, so you buy 12 of them for the whole year.
most people would just think that they got good deal and saved money, but in reality, you just invested(tied) your money into a commodity same as you do with stocks.
expect here, you aren't going to sell the beans, but use them, but the final result is the same.
you just made $60, same as if you bought stock for 60$ and it rose to $120.
if this is true, being frugal basically means you are an investor by default, kinda cool to think about.
