do you keep a stash of food and essentials?

I’ve been grocery shopping like crazy the past couple of weekends since the fuel price increase. Actually it doesn’t have much to do with the price increase. I’m just a chronic bulk shopper, that’s all.

I like the comfort of knowing I have stock on hand instead of having to rush out like a desperado to buy something just before the last drop or after we totally run out. I always have half of a dozen of everything stocked up in my kitchen and utility cupboard.

When something is on sale, I don’t just buy one, I buy maybe 4 or 6 at once. I have two fridges so there’s plenty of room for storage. When the 2kg Milo was on sale, I bought 6 bags of it. That’s enough to start a small coffee shop. Same with coffee and Jacob’s crackers (got 3 tins of those sitting around).

A quick peek in my toiletries store. I have at least 120 rolls of toilet paper, 20 boxes of Kleenex, 6 tubes of toothpaste, dozens of toothbrushes. Call me nuts but that’s me.

I really take advantage of sales and promos to save money. Well, it’s not only money, it’s also peace of mind .
