Growing up I was used to this, my parents are as frugal as they come and we had a basement where we would store a ton of things that we bought in bulk. If paper towels were on a superb sale they'd buy up cartons and we'd have enough for a year, same with most household items and most non-perishable groceries that we used. We used things like canned tomatoes and canned kidney beans a lot but hardly ever bought them. We'd buy them a couple times a year in bulk when they were on super cheap sales. When I used to come home from college I would literally just go down to their basement with a couple of empty bags and stock up on things. Now that I live on my own I do the same type of shopping, I live in an apartment but use a closet to store bulk items I buy. The savings are big and its actually more convenient since I don't have to buy many things for several months. Another great tip is to never buy clothes/housewares, etc. the first time you see them. If you're at the mall this weekend and see some things you want to buy, hold off and say you'll buy them next week. By the time next weekend rolls around you probably won't care to get that stuff anymore.

Even though the "savings" add up... And in a year you might save maybe 50k... The wasted time adds up, and if you implement these things you wasted 90% of your time on money-saving activities, as well as... spending 100% of your mental focus on being a "money saver". The irony is... Its easier to become richer, than to save this much. It takes less effort to make 100k a year, than it takes effort to save 50k a year.
