Buy Two
Purchase enough fresh foods to last a week. Purchase two of anything that is not perishable. That way, when you run out of something, you can start on the second container until you return to the store for more. Purchase many of your canned goods by the case.
Special Purchases
I have a Gordons Foods near me. You may have a Costco or similar bulk food store. At Gordons, I purchase:
- Large bags of Walnuts and Sunflower Seeds. They are pricey but last a long time.
- Large cans of butter flavored pan spray
- Large bags of frozen blueberries.
