Hello my friends. Hope you are all well this fine day. It is a wet day here. Not sure what time it started raining during the night but woke to a little thunder and rain. It is muggy and extremely cloudy. It stopped for the moment, and I got to get out and feed the cats - they were hungry.
Boy everything is just vibrant and almost glowing this morning. The grass is so bright green. I have all kinds of lilies that are shooting up buds - Tiger and D'Oro - tons of them. It will soon be a sea of orange and yellow out back.
Whether sale or not - I am always stocking up on cat food - both dry and canned. That is probably the one item I do not always get on sale. I do get special deals from Kroger (as they keep track) on things I buy, and cat food is usually in the mix. I get the best deals I can - but it is always in demand here.
I do not leave a grocery store WITHOUT buying cat food, in some form.
Other things I always watch for - are sales and clearance on certain items. Whenever I see a good price on TP and ground meat - I BUY IT! It doesn't matter if I need it now, I will always use it. I am always stocked very well on both.
I used to buy pasta just about every time I went shopping. I now have a good supply, and have it sealed to last, so I am good on that. I got so many good deals on all sorts of pasta. Same with all sorts of dried legumes.
I keep my eyes open for dish soap and laundry soap as well. Sales and clearance only!!!! When I find it, I get it.
I know many look for the super cheap case deals on canned veggies, and then on turkeys and hams at the holiday sales. I do keep an eye open for sure.
I often buy garden seeds when they are on clearance to keep for the future. They last well, when kept dry!
What are the things you ALWAYS buy when the price is right?
I know this is a shorter post - but I am curious what you all do. It might help others to see what you stock up on - new ideas they hadn't thought of.
What say you??????
Have a wonderful day and give thanks for all gifts.
I have a designated spot for TP and when our preferred brand 12pk is on sale, I buy enough to refill-I believe it holds 6.
ReplyDeleteI do buy a spiral sliced ham at Easter and Christmas when on sale. We vac seal portions that equal 4 meals and we have ham year round.
Tea. We have 3 specific ones we love. Those sales never go to waste. When I was in pantry earlier, there are currently 12 boxes. I need to stop so it doesn't get too old. Is tea like spices? Does it lose flavor? Hmmmmm, IDK.
Breakfast sausage-I buy up the max allowed. We cook up 1/week.
While we have enough food around to get us through a month or 2 if circumstances didn't allow any purchasing, I am by no means a prepper like my friend in eastern TN who has a 2 year food room.
One time I found canned salmon for 50 cents per can, so I bought 50 cans! I will always stock up on that and other things I find on sale or mark down including canned tomatoes, canned fruit, canned chicken, canned vegetables, canned or dried beans, shelf stable milk, canned milk, and spaghetti sauce.
ReplyDeleteAnd there are probably other things I'm forgetting right now. I always keep a stash of garbage bags and we do the cat food here too.
