gonna stock less.

well, this past week i (think i) really did need 12 papers,
to get max benefit from my chex mix raincheck.

and things like canned tomatoes and cns,
we'll use as fast as i can stockpile.

and if i have lots of unused q's from buying 12 papers,
that's more for the military program,
so i'm doing a good thing,
right?

but looking at my pantry, i'm starting to think maybe
just maybe
i've gone a little overboard
on things like canned oranges & green beans
(not really though, because my kids will eat them both straight from the can)
and chili
(but it doesn't expire til 2012! and doesn't require water -- great emergency rations!)
and ravioli
(well it seemed like a great deal, but nobody really wants it.)

then again, maybe not.
because i sure don't have to mess with the store at all this sucky-sale week!
and that's a nice feeling.
besides that, it'll "save" me $92
(the average i've spent on groceries so far this year).
and when things get close to expiring
or we just never want to see them again
i can always donate them.

i guess i just need to usually think of getting only 4 papers
unless there's an exceptional sale.
(like free chex mix!! jeez!!)
