Dumb Kwestion #40! - Shopping

Look what I bought a couple weeks ago! Couldn't believe it! 50 large packets for 6 bucks !!!!

About a week prior at Staters, I bought a box of the same brand = 1 box of 6 six ounce packages for almost $4 

I mean, what a difference! I gave 2 big handfuls to my son and daughter and the box is still super full. We've had hot chocolate almost every night 

It's bulk deals like that that keep me going back.

We also buy OTC meds there as well. We save a fortune buying Naproxen (Aleve) 500 in a bottle. Also Fish Oil, Vitamin D, Co-Q-10, Magnesium, Multi Vits, and so on (stuff really helps with cholesterol and my heart issues)

WAY back when burning CD-Rs was a new thing, it used to cost $3 PER blank CD-R at your average supplier. I discovered Costco had spindles of CD-Rs = 50 for $25 bucks. Over about a 3 year period I must've bought 7 or 8 of those spindles. 

I could go on and on with all the things we get. Everything from what Staybrite listed to several other items.... we have a standalone freezer, so we stock up on freezables - meats, bacon, vegetables, etc. 

We also stock up on dishwasher detergent, multi-packs of floss, huge containers of blueberries for the same price as the tiny containers at Vons, and on and on and on.... We love Costco 

NUTELLA!!!!! So yum. But 6 pounds of it...or rather, 6.6 pounds of it? Sheesh! Who needs that kind of temptation?

16 rolls of paper towels?!! Seriously? That'd last me five years and four months (I use 3 a year). lol lol lol I think y'all must have more storage space and bigger freezers like Jim. Envy, envy, envy

I don't order cloths online.
That's why I have to get shopping when I need new cloths.

For some reason it isn't uncommon for us to go through two rolls of paper towels a week (I think my goes through quite a bit working on his car).  I have to buy a large pack of the paper towels every other month.

I tend to shift back and forth between rags and paper towels.  Paper towels are bad for the environment and cloth rags just push germs around after the first time you use them.....what's an environmentally conscious clean freak supposed to do!? 

As the sole dishwasher in the house, I am a strong supporter of paper towels, paper plates, and napkins

When there are only two people living in the house, it is far easier.  We have done this for years.  My wife even keeps plastic forks/spoons at home so we don't have to wash them.
