Convenience store shops

Shoppergirly, i apologize if I derailed your the main point of your post in any way.
We each have own ways...peace to you.
I too have found convenience store prices a challenge and more so, in the past couple of years.
For me, it's not unlike the stores, some online, that have an order minimum of 4 of something or 6 of something.... American households getting smaller, bulk purchases at places like Costco, getting bigger.
I think that's why I did well in Italy. Small stores, reasonable sizes.
C'est la vie in America.

If they have bakery items, the glazed donuts are usually $1.

I wish I know how to do with that coupon thing ...any hint on how to start doing that?

I used to buy a sunday paper and use paper coupons, but those are rare. Most coupons are on apps now. Whatever stores you go to, download their app to start, clip whatever coupons in there that you might use.

Check out The Krazy Coupon Lady website. She'll normally list good deals which might be a combo of apps, like the store app, Ibotta (this is a rebate app, you don't save money at the checkout, but you get the money back after purchase), and/or Fetch Rewards.

I used to also use a site called Iheartcvs and iheartwags that would list deals for those stores or give you a sneak peek into the upcoming deals for the week.

I do not consider anything that you have mentioned as a hoard. My entire family is from Appalachia.Prepardness is a way of life in the mountains/rural areas. What you describe seems normal and reasonable. I consider 20 years worth of anything a hoard. I remember one lady from the extreme coupon show who had 100 bottles of mustard. To me, thats excessive. I don't want or need that much in my house. I hope that anyone who has that much excess would consider giving to a friend or neighbor in need.

Gigi,

A very good lifelong friend was a Mormon, and part of their faith is preparedness. They are supposed to keep one full year of supplies, for everything they need. And it's a GOOD practice. I'm NOT Mormon, not even close, but they have good sound ideas for serving their community and preparedness.

This is part of the reason I own 3 chest freezers and 2 refrigerators. I don't keep a full year worth of anything, but you can bet that there are at least 2 cases of toilet paper, and more than 2 months worth of most sundries. Between canned goods and my freezers, I doubt I would have trouble feeding me and my dogs for at least two or three months with a little bit of creative cooking..

You might have to qualify that statement about mustard.. I eat mustard on MANY things, usually at least once in any given day. I have 5 different types of mustard (none of which are honey mustard), and two different types of mustard seeds for making my own mustard. And I probably have 3 or 4 bottles of each type of prepared mustard, but my son doesn't always update me on the stock levels, so I sometimes run out of the horseradish mustard.

Same. Many types of mustard, except honey mustard. I like real mustard.
