11 Food Staples You Didn't Know You Could Buy In Bulk

Chances are any party you host or attend this summer will include chips and dip—and lots of it. So buying endless 15.5 ounce jars of salsa is just a waste of money. Why do so when you can get a literal 4 pound jug to glug for just $7.99? Think about it.

One gallon of pickles not enough for all your summer get togethers? No worries! This comes with four gallons, so hopefully that'll be enough kosher dill spears for you, your family, and friends.

Not only does ketchup go with everything, but it also lasts (pretty much) a lifetime. So next time you're trying to check this classic condiment off your grocery list, consider buying a seven-pounder (7 lb. 2 oz, to be exact) instead. It's not a bad idea.

Like ketchup, all your hot dogs, burgers, and veggie patties won't forgive you if you leave them naked on a bun (forgive me if you're more of a relish person, but also...stay tuned). This big boy will last you at least the summer.

There's nothing worse than a wiener with no toppings. So if you're anti-ketchup and anti-mustard on your dog, this giant gallon of relish is for you.

Do I have to explain why you need this one-gallon jug of margarita mix for the season?

Save yourself the hassle of going back to the store for more and just buy the big pack of hot dogs...After all, you can keep them frozen if you don't eat them all in one go.

Macaroni salad, cole slaw, sandwiches, you name it—mayo is especially a staple condiment in the summer. Don't worry about slathering it all over everything. Remember? You have a gallon to spare.

Can you ever really go wrong with extra movie theater buttered popcorn? Answer: no. Go big on your popcorn game and your summer movie nights will never be the same.

Yes, the price is insane. But please note that you will get not one, not two, not three, but FOUR gallons of Hidden Valley Ranch with this purchase. Unless you're ordering for a restaurant or cafeteria, I don't know if you could use it all before it goes bad, but hey! Who am I to judge if you do?

I don't think this would be a complete list if I didn't add this five-pound jug of peanut butter, because who the hell knew PB comes in such a giant container? Summer parties or not, this is a must-have in your pantry.
