Nutrition...feeding a family +5

[cfred]

One thing I do to save money is to buy A LOT of something when it goes on super deep discount. The one that gets me the most excited is toilet paper (yeah, I'm THAT cool!). Every now and then, No Frills will have it on for $9 for about 30 double rolls. I'll buy about 4 of them as that's enough toilet paper to get my family and daycare through about a year. Peanut butter....I bought 6 big jars of kraft @ $2 each about 8 months ago. Laundry soap, same thing. When we were having a particularly bad time financially a number of years ago, Suave shampoos and conditioners went on for $1. I bought about 20 of each and didn't have to get that again for well over a year...it was awesome! I'll spend and extra chunk when these go super cheap then I don't have to ever buy them at regular price and that little chunk is never on my bill. I've found this very helpful. It has gotten us through some lean times. And, I take great comfort in the fact that in the event of a zombie apocalypse, we'll always have toilet paper
