Re: Do You Stock Up Or Buy Only What You Need?
I have lots of room in my garage so am always well stocked up and pride myself on never paying full price for washing and cleaning products.With regard to food , for most things I have one in use and 2+ spare. The store cupboard always has a good supply of dry goods and there is fresh yeast in the freezer which can quickly be turned into bread .
When you live out in the countryside with no shops around it is wise to be well stocked up.
Fruit and vegetables store well in the garage too and at various times of the year there are vegetables and fruit in the garden. I have just picked some lovely purple broccoli for lunch. There are only 6 plants in the raised bed but they have kept me well supplied.

I don't have a great deal of storage space so tend not to hoard much. But I do have 2 freezers, one chest freezer and one small upright, so I will stock up on frozen stuff but only when it's cheap

We grow our own as much as we can, and with the hens and ducks we are never short of an egg and I can make something out of nothing at times

Re: Do You Stock Up Or Buy Only What You Need?
Both my salad drawers in the fridge are full of tubs of Clover when they were on offer at half price. I also seem to be buying more than I need with packets of brown rice for my little dogs, I have a drawer of the freezer full of them.I also have at least a dozen bottles of Fairy Liquid when a £1 off, and don't even get me started on Andrex Quilted Toilet Rolls and Handwash in the Bathroom cupboard that I had to close with brute force to fit them in!
To my eternal shame, I am guilty too of forever buying more than I use in vegetables, which I guarantee some of which go in the food bin untouched every week. Yesterday I binned some red potatoes, a whole untouched packet of mushrooms and a whole swede and parsnip.
Sigh! "More money than Sense" my disapproving lovely mum would have said.
