I'd never actually thought about it that way. When things were on offer, I used to just put the cash saved in a jar & use it next time (or for anything else we needed during the month). But it makes even more sense to spend the same amount, but buy double & put the extra to one side so it's kind of prepping for free.

Cheers mate

its the way I do it Rob, normally buy "little and often" just enough to keep ticking over, and so that I don't get everything from the same batch, but when stuff is on offer I multi buy and increase the stocks that way, when we use a tin I restock the next time we go shopping so the "amount" of stock never goes down it increases but slowly.

I have never subscribed to this buy huge amounts in one go-especially all in the one place-that way if there is anything wrong with the batch we could lose the entire stock of that item. anyway some of us are on a budget!
