That depends on what you're shipping and how you group it. Importantly, if you're shipping a knife vs. shipping a knife, some toilet paper, some paper towels, a bunch of sponges, and some assorted bulk food, the total amount that shipping is higher for the larger group of stuff is often way less than the amount you're saving cumulatively on all of it. Obviously, be smart and price compare, and take shipping prices into account, but I've been able to get pretty good deals on certain items fairly consistently
