Murphy's Law Of Buying In Bulk

"You can keep purchasing small costlier-per-piece packages of a product till Doomsday, and you will always continue needing a sizable amount/quantity of it per week/month/year. But then just as soon as you plunk down a tidy sum for an economy-priced bulk-quantity of said commodity, your needs and/or lifestyle will immediately change, and so now you will likely never even begin to consume that much volume in your entire lifetime."

For example, you purchase several cases of plain white paraffin candles for your antique chandelier that you love to illuminate every evening, only to then discover that an electric-candle "upgrade" kit is available, and comes with fixtures that look just like the elegant candles and fit perfectly into your chandelier's holders! So now you're stuck with many hundreds of little white-wax tapers that you'll probably never have any use for.

I feel like such a total bulk-buying buffoon --- I had been consuming several expensive plywood-cutting circular-saw blades per year in my household woodworking-tasks, and so eventually I had purchased a bargain-priced fifty-pack of only-minutely-rusty "new old stock" Skilsaw-blades from a private seller on E-Bay. But then I had started using a larger-bladed table-saw for most of my panel-slicing/trimming needs, and so I've only used one or two of the circular-saw blades from the package in the many months since that time! Sounds like a classic case of "Murphy's Law Of Buying In Bulk" to me!!!

bulk-buying buffoon

Humorous term for the total jackass that you feel like after making a large-quantity purchase of something in an attempt to save money in the long run, but then discover that you don't need nearly so much of the product as you'd expected you would.

A good example of a bulk-buying buffoon would be someone who liked repairing old VHS cassettes and therefore bought several large rolls of half-inch-wide splicing-tape instead of the much-costlier-per-foot dinky little tape-rolls that you usually find included in tape-splicing kits, only to discover that most of the movies he liked were now available on DVD, and so he would seldom have a need to splice broken videotapes anymore.

Static Bulk

When gym bros past their prime overeat without exercising but still claim they’re “bulking.” A common cope for lack of discipline in training and dieting, leading to cognitive dissonance about their growing waistline instead of muscle.

Bro swears he’s bulking, but it’s just a static bulk—all calories, no gains.
