Now I've been asked before - Why do you buy all this food with just 2 people in your family?

Here is my answer - I am a huge fan of stockpiling. When I find a good deal on a product that is at a rock bottom price, I will buy multiples of them. I can't tell you how many times I have run out of deodorant or body wash, ziploc bags, paper towels, dishwasher detergent...and all I had to do was grab another one from my stash. This beats spending a crap ton of money on something you NEED at the moment, and it's probably not on sale.

I also buy things when I can make a profit. For example: each one of those Quaker Quakes was $1.00, but when I bought 10 ("participating items") they became only $.50. But on the Mega Deal, it just shows -$5.00 off your total, not $.50 off each item.

So in essence, they were:
$1.00 each
-$.75 manufacturer coupon
-$.50 for the Mega Deal
= -$.25
So each bag was -$.25, only to come off some other product. This is called overage! Because of this I was able to get 2 5lb. bags of flour, 1 dozen eggs, and pasta for SUPER cheap.

In fact, I paid $.83 total (after $.75 deposit into my Upromise account). How often can you buy 2 5lb. bags of flour, 1 dozen eggs, and pasta for that much without coupons?? Probably NEVER!!

I bought those 16 bags of Quaker Quakes so I could get the overage on my other items.

Anyways, I do have a lot of food and household items stockpiled around my house. I would rather have that than spend tons of money!
