How much do you buy at a time?

I see people who buy 1000 of something at once, but the most I've bought of anything at one time is 50! I guess I could if I have the JB anyway. I was saving up so I could go to JV and set up shop. (Which I did, but haven't gone back yet to start serving!)

Maybe when I get to JV I'll start buying more at one time. I wish the inventory was set up a little differently so you don't have to scroll down to see what you have. It's easy to run out if you don't think to check it!

twin girls Ryleigh and Brenna are the joy of my life!

Everyone has their own purchasing style! When I start off I bought in 10s. One reason was lack of money and another is it helps remind me to constantly check my inventory because it is way too easy to run out and then you can't serve a drink they like.

Now it just depends on what it is. Like milk is only $1 so I buy it in major bulk. The more expensive beans I buy in 20s and try them out. If I like them I buy more and if I don't at least I tried them out!

If I'm at one store and I have to travel to another to get certain ingredients I stock up fairly well on those too.

The higher up you get in levels, the more you will find yourself buying at a time.  The first item I ended up buying in bulk was milk and I stocked up on like 3,000 of them.  My pet peeve is running out of an important ingredient so stocking up big time keeps my frustration level down, lol.

I try to buy about 1000-2000 java bucks worth of stuff at a time. It is usefull for when you move to different places and find the prices are higher on the basic things you need.
