2FER aka Buy one get one FREE...

I shop for grocery deals in a few different places. The one place I avoid is Costco. I'm not saying you cannot find deals there, it's the quantity purchasing that doesn't work for me.
My wife and I aren't big consumers. For example, a 7 pound container of granulated garlic would harden in the package before I could use it up. I do buy a medium size garlic and refill the small round shaker jars, but I know my limit. I forgot that dehydrated parsley is actually green. I tossed out a container where it looked brown like oregano.

Now... here's the catch. I like potato chips, but limit my intake because of the salt content. So what do you do when you come upon the extra large party bag and the sign reads: Buy 1 get 1 FREE
answer: buy it.

Entenmann's baked good are some of the tastiest you can find anywhere.
When the all butter loaf (pound) cake goes on sale... It's the 2fer one I cannot resist!

Not a big fan of costco either.its only myself.so smaller amounts of food get eatten up eventually.
I think you can freeze those cakes if you wrap them very very well.
Entenmanns ?? Read the ingredients before you buy stuff.
Jim... it's ALL butter and a few dozen chemicals.
I don't like having to buy so much but I love Costco at least for meat and cheeses because the quality is far superior than any grocery store, I just have to separate the packages into smaller portions which I'm used to doing anyways. I don't have to go to Costco often but I love it when I do and all their other products have been thumbs up quality.

I had to back off BOGO's because when I went to pack for the move a few months back I discovered I had turned into a food horder. I was ashamed at how many duplicate, triplicat or six plus items of the same thing I had because when it is bogo in the store, I couldn't remember if I had it at home. sheesh. I keep my cabitnets a lot less stacked which is ironic since I have soooo much more room, I just don't want to horde.
I haven't shopped inside big stores such as Costcos or Sam's club in years.when my adult sons were youngins I used to purchased laundry soap,bath soap,bread,meat etc in large packages.Then when my two sons had reached adulthood and left home I canceled both membership cards to both stores.Then I began shopping at normal stores whatever is considered normal anymore.giggle

During the summer months I don't do too much baking but looking forward to when the cooler months arrive so I can go back baking again.
