I buy my paper products and cleaning supplies in bulk, I just did tonight, spent way to much at the grocery store, but I had coupons and they had sales. I always spend more when I have coupons, but some things I won't have to buy for months now.

Yes, we buy in bulk... We have a deep freeze out in the garage and we but all our extras in there. And, we buy anything on sale in there.. A couple of weeks ago we bought 90% lean hamburger meat at Safeway and put in the freezer..
We buy most of our cleaning supplies at Costco.... Things like that... |

| I do buy bulk, especially if I see an item on sale. Things like shampoo and conditioner, toothpaste, toilet paper and other bathroom items, I keep a pretty good stock of those items that will keep for a few months. I also buy paper towel, paper plates and cups toward the end of picnic season, seems the prices are a little lower, the stores wanting these items are of the shelves. I just store them for the summer season. I usually clip my coupons when I am going to buy bulk and the items are on sale, that way I get that little thrill of saving a little more. |

| I only like to keep meat for the most like 3 months, no longer than that and I make sure it is wrapped up good and tight to keep the air out and keep it from freezer burning. |

I went to the bulk store today, was a little disappointed in their inventory, I got all my canned vegetables and some junk food, but did not really come out with much. I see more and more amish people there. My four year old kills me when we go there. She is not used to seeing them and I never know what will come out of her mouth. I really got to pay attention and keep her engaged in conversation with me. Today, she said, excuse me lady, why do you wear that hat? The lady told her that it matches her dress, of course it was black and her dress was blue, so my kid says, No it don’t your dress is blue. Out of the mouth of babes. I swear this child is just too honest sometimes. LOL.

I do bulk shopping once every month. I dont want my parents to visit the grocery for this and that every time. So we make a list and get things all at a same time. For things that cannot be kept really long I go to the nearby stores on the weekends.
