As for the tp, well, I just found I had another pack of 20 rolls in one of the closets! It'll last me enough til Xmas season when tp goes on sale again :)<BR/><BR/>WW, I'm with ya on buying stuff that lasts for a while in the cupboards! The only coupons I look for are for the items that I use a lot. Then I clip 'em, put 'em in an envelope along with the shopping list of stuff that I need. Then I set the envelope on the coffee table with the car keys so I won't forget to take the coupons and list when I go to the store.<BR/><BR/>And I've had to learn the hard way that just because something is on sale doesn't mean I need it!eroswingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06678990077292314028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7906051794067626825.post-15846263441658465412008-09-16T20:11:00.000-05:002008-09-16T20:11:00.000-05:00I hardly EVER use coupons, they're too hard to kee...I hardly EVER use coupons, they're too hard to keep track of.<BR/><BR/>Hell, I bought those environmentally friendly reusable grocery bags but forget them at home half the time and have to use plastic bags anyway!<BR/><BR/>I'm weary of things that say "sale" on them because it seems almost everything nowadays IS on sale.<BR/><BR/>I usually buy bulk for stuff I know I can store for a long time and that my kids and I will use.<BR/><BR/>Otherwise, I'm out at the store, once a week, spending way too much...WithinWithouthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05545398587099834271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7906051794067626825.post-27510496668587825762008-09-16T20:02:00.000-05:002008-09-16T20:02:00.000-05:00I never buy food in bulk.

I do like to buy the generic store brands of stuff sometimes, rather than the brand names. Although if you go very, very cheap, especially with garbage bags, you realize soon enough why they were so cheap. They can't handle regular garbage volume.Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16103812856035857566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7906051794067626825.post-8184729408379331032008-09-15T11:13:00.000-05:002008-09-15T11:13:00.000-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.BEASThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15428640137434521072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7906051794067626825.post-29500178749052304992008-09-15T11:12:00.000-05:002008-09-15T11:12:00.000-05:00How did that tosser Beast get here first?
