    I had a stockpile during Lockdown, but used it up. I buy a tray or two of Italian organic canned tomatoes from Costco online and 1.5  litres of organic olive oil but other than that just a can of this and that. Soup, if gluten-free either freezeable or canned. Decaffeinated teabags and coffee bags, loo rolls on offer, canned fish. 
  • Living in the countryside as I do with no shops or bus service makes keeping and rotating a good store cupboard a sensible idea as running out of anything essential means a 20 mile round trip into town.
    I don't stockpile or bulk buy (no space or spare money) but just aim to have enough to cover for about a month so can manage without shopping for a few weeks



    Newly retired and looking forward to 
    a fulfilling, positive & happy future.
