Its really very difficult to suggest from here without having the knowlwdge of actual requirment at your side.
I would suggest you instead of storing them separately ,store with some flag setting as a single entity.

agreed.

the idea of a relational database is to vastly reduce the amount of stored data by keeping it separate and unique.

get a copy of microsoft access (even a very old copy) and look at the north wind traders database. it is what you describe.
