I scour the ads every week. But I’m soo stocked up, that unless it’s a great deal price, I don’t shop. And if it’s a great deal price, I buy lots.
Have my own garden, and apple trees, grapes, peach and pear. Men in the family hunt deer and squirrel.
I can, freeze and/or dehydrate...
Have 5 freezers and lots of canned and dehydrated foods. One freezer for fruits and veggies, one for beef, one for pork, one for poultry, one for odds n ends such as deep fryer foods, frozen bread dough, pizza etc...
Yes, you can buy milk and cheese and freeze it. You can even can butter!
5 freezers?
what happens when the power fails?
I do that also. When I used to be able to find milk, bread or cheese that was marked down I would buy as much as they had or as much as my extra freezer would hold. The area I live in now doesn't have too much organic on clearance, so I can't do it like I did in Washington state.
I shop biweekly. I have quite a bit stocked up now, so I usually only buy what is on sale and what I have coupons for. Makes grocery shopping a lot less expensive than buying daily at the going price.
