What are the best things to buy in bulk when on offer?

Cereals sorts out breakfast. Tinned fish, fruit, beans and tomatoes, dried pulse, pasta, couscous, frozen veg.

I haven't found many herbs and spices on offer so have stuck with the local Asian store that gives a much better deal.

Loo roll, instant coffee, tuna/tinned fish (OH eats loads), cleaning products, toiletries - also laundry products, I have favourites so I stock up when I see them on offer.

Make sure its things you won't eat more of just because you stocked up - for this reason I don't stock up on crisps biscuits chocolate etc as we would eat twice as many which isn't moneysvaing.

Hi,I have a large cupboard where I store all my bargains,my husband fitted a lock and only I have the key.This means it cant be raided and I can drip feed the goodies as and when needed.The more food I store in the kitchen the more they eat.We are a family of 5 adults.Its saved me a fortune.

I wish i had that, We have a very small kitchen with a not very big cupboard, and we have a half freezer/half fridge, I live with my OH and a house mate, so I have to be considerate when i'm filling up the place with my bargains.
