You will notice the shopping cart has a couple of bottles of wine in it. We get ours at the big box warehouse store and it is about half the price in the "discount" liquor stores. Rum is even cheaper.

As for the cereal, none of the grocery stores carry Chocolate Cheerios so we have to buy it at the big box store.

Salt, flour, corn-meal, TP, canned meats, PB, chocolate, tobacco, booze.

A shopping list/rations list from the 1860s is very enlightening.

Oh, and yeast. Sams has 2 lbs for about the same price as 4 oz in the grocery store.

Bulk Ammo!

I use waltonfeed.com

For example, a small jar of molasses to make whole wheat bread is about $3 (ripoff). I bought a 59 lb. bucket of molasses for $40 and repackaged in gallon jars.

Buy a pallet at a time and save on shipping.

Ammo..... Lots of ammo! Buy it until you have enough to make living room furniture out of the cases.

I should advertise for these people. These little suckers are GOOD! And they have vitamins, are little and get you over a lot of hunger:

Spotted Cow

[Lazlo in PA]

This is what I buy in bulk. Make sure it's single malt and not that blended garbage.

Ammo, incandescent lightbulbs, and TP. In that order. Ok, maybe some chocolate.

[BigCinBigD]

Ammo and TP.

I was joking about buying the spotted cow in bulk.
It is a non pasteurized farmhouse beer, so I don’t think it would have a great shelf life, but man is that good stuff.
If I lived up there I would always have that on hand.

That said, the article is a bit goofey.
How do you store baked goods in bulk?

If I dont use a fresh loaf in 4 days its going to go moldy.

Here’s a tip I learned in Home-Ec class at L’Ecole de Rehabilitation Saint Jean Bosco:

Two-ply toilet paper is more comfortable, but also more expensive. So: buy SINGLE PLY toilet paper, but... Fold it in two before you use it!

Our class actually made the international finals of Genie en Herbe not long ago. Here’s the Youtube coverage.

Gas is the most important thing we buy at Costco. We about save the price of our membership right there.

On the other hand, we may just be spending what we saved on gas over in the wine department. If wine wasn’t so reasonable and tasty at Costco, maybe we would not serve it as often, and would save more money.

I recently stocked up on non-fat dry milk.

Thing is, tons of recipes call for some milk. Maybe a cup or so.

As far as using it to drink, I found that if you mix it up, and add maybe a tsp or a bit more of coffee creamer, it’s actually pretty good!

I’m looking to buy certain items in bulk but have it delivered to my door-any suggestions?
