Buying something and paying it off. It shows the creditor that you are responsible and not a credit risk. Be aware though, you will be flooded with competing credit card company offers.

Does buying food in bulk cost less in the long run than buying it over time?

That depends. If you buy something that will spoil before you use it, it is a waste of money. If you buy something you don't like, it is a waste of money. If you don't have space to store it, it is a waste of money. If the time it takes to use it is an extended period of time such that the money you had to use could have made money in an interest-bearing account, it is a waste of money. Other than that, buying in bulk is generally a good idea.


How do you show a debit balance on a liability account?

You should never have a debit balance in a liability account. Liability accounts maintain a "credit" balance. If a debit balance incurs, it means that the company has paid too much to the account.For example, say I owe Company B $500 on an account payable (liability) and I for some reason pay them $600 instead, that does actually give me a debit balance, however that also means they owe me $100 since I overpaid them.If it's a supplier I order from on a regular basis then I can just leave the balance alone and let it balance itself out with the next purchase, making note about "why" there is a debit balance.However, if it's a company I made a one time purchase from, for example I bought a computer and don't plan on buying another one from the company for a while, it's best if I zero out the balance and move the balance from the liability account into an account receivable (an asset account) and contact that company about the error and a possible refund.
