do you write lists?

At least there's someone to share the junk food with if you're not alone while shopping...

I think it is the most common and we all write shopping list.

I guess Candy will have to double the purchase )

My memory is working today. Candy from years back - Secret Drinker

I recently came across popcorn kitkats. They were really lovely. But as they were being sold at half price, I guess I won't see them again.

I always try things on the sale rack hoping to find something different I might like. When I do, I rarely find it again. I guess that's why it was on the sale rack.

I can too, but I have to be fairly confident that I will use them all.

I was the same as work. We used to use a cleanser called Dispray. The stores manager told me it was going cheap as the factory was selling off the last of the old stock. I looked at the use by date, calculated how many we would use before that date and ordered a few crates of the stuff.

Only one can was thrown out when it expired. My guesstimate was pretty good.

Bulk buying can often be a good idea for items that need to be stored. I tend to bulk-buy certain items. But not all the time.

You have to have storage space for buying in bulk, so I could understand if you didn't. I've got so many bookshelves and other entertainment items that I don't keep a lot of extra space for bulk-buying.

I buy paper products in bulk all the time...only one package at a time, though. Sam's Member's Mark toilet tissue comes in 45-roll packs, but I only buy 2-3 in a year. In 2020, I bought a 45-pack in January. In March, I was getting a little worried whether I could get any more, so I bought a bidet. By the time we had to buy toilet paper again, manufacturers had increased their production almost enough to meet demand.

Pfft.

Next you will be saying that bad taste is out of style? 

I buy one at a time also and don'y rebuy until I het down to around 10 rolls or so. As long as the supply is stable I will continue with that plan. 

It seems like everyplace you try to do business has some sort of issue.
