Buying in Bulk

Buying in Bulk

Author: Brittany Duncan May 19, 2026 Duration: 21:42
In this episode of Untraditionally Traditional: A Millennial Homemaker, we’re talking all things bulk buying — how to save money on groceries, what’s actually worth buying in bulk, how to compare prices between stores, and practical ways to store and use bulk foods without waste. I’m sharing what works for our family, where we shop, how we organize our pantry and freezer, and why buying and cooking in bulk has completely changed the way we feed our home.Follow along on Instagram: @untraditionallytraditionalpodSubscribe to my newsletter: www.untraditionallytraditional.comSupport the podcast www.buymeacoffee.com/UTPod  

Brittany Duncan hosts Untraditionally Traditional: A Millennial Homemaker, a podcast that digs into the quiet, satisfying work of building a life from the ground up. It’s for anyone who finds their calm in the rhythm of kneading dough or the feel of soil between their fingers, yet whose reality also includes inboxes and deadlines. Each episode feels like a conversation with a friend who gets it, weaving together practical tips from the garden and the kitchen with honest reflections on what it means to be a modern keeper of the home. You’ll hear about preserving a harvest from a small balcony plot, the lessons learned from a sourdough starter that refused to cooperate, and how to create a sense of sanctuary without sacrificing a career. This isn’t about perfection or a return to some mythical past; it’s about crafting a personal, intentional tradition that fits a contemporary life. The podcast explores how these seemingly small, daily acts of care-for our spaces, our food, and ourselves-can become a profound source of grounding and joy. Brittany’s perspective is that of a fellow traveler, sharing what she’s learned not as an expert, but as someone figuring it out season by season, making this a genuinely relatable listen for anyone drawn to the hearth but living in the real, bustling world.
