Most things:
. Baked beans

I always buy enough to cover me to the next time its on offer. Its a rare thing for me to buy something at full price unless I totally run out or need a particular ingredient for a recipe and none of the Big 4 have it on offer or not available at Aldi, FF or Iceland.0 -

If something I use is on offer then I stock up on it. I don't tend to pay full price for things like
washing powder/conditioner
dishwasher tablets
cleaning stuff
shampoo/conditioner
shower gel/deodrant
toilet/kitchen roll
I also stock up on tinned tomatoes/soup/beans/spaghetti/pasta etc but as there are 6 of us I do sometimes have to buy odd tins at full price whilst waiting for an offer.
