Store Cupboard / Stockpile

freyasmum

We've just added Chicken Tonight Spanish Chicken to ours. There was a jar in the cupboard and I used it thinking that it would make room for something else. Well, we actually really liked it! But there's no way I'm going to pay £1.70 for a jar! :eek: It's currently £1.00 in Sainsurys at the moment, so I shall stock up on a few jars.

We do a lot of travelling and sometimes don't get home until really, really late on a Sunday evening when the shops have closed at 4pm. So I keep a litre carton of UHT milk in for such occasions so that we can have a cuppa until we get some fresh milk.

I stock up on toilet rolls when we visit farmfoods. These even save money on aldi prices.

I'd be interested in people's reasons for having a store cupboard. I understand the elderly worrying they might not be able to get out and those really strapped for cash have it as a 'rainy day' back up. Personally I have a storecupboard of good value items either from offers in my usual shops or from stores that I don't get to very often like Home Bargains.

Mine is pure and simply to save money.

We have a few items that we buy branded and really do prefer enough to spend the extra. So I buy a few of each item - enough to last until it goes on offer again.

We've switched our main shop to aldi and I get the bits that I can't get in there in other shops.
