Do you hate running out of things.

I am like this a lot. I have ant traps and wasp spray. Wal Mart no longer carries borax or boric acid powder. I went yesterday to get stuff to make homemade laundry soap, and Wal Mart did not have a single one of the ingredients I needed.

No wasps is even better than no ants, Jugs! Gerty, what a coincidence. Just today I was reading a forum all about making homemade laundry soap and many people said that WalMart carries washing soda, but I've never seen it there. I am in Arizona this week, so I did find Borax at a grocery chain store called Bashas. They changed the color of the box again, so I had to hunt for it.

Lol,i got some wasp spray,as we kept seeing wasps out side,well now there are none in sight for some reason.At least i will have wasp spray now if i need it at any time.I hate to keep running out of things,as i have to ask the husband to get the things that i need,as i can not go to get them myself.

I love to get things when they are on special,especially things like washing powder,dish washer tablets,also other things that will keep.We tend to do bulk,as it is easier for us aswell as it saves money,aswell as time,we have a large family,so we have to get loads of things each time that we go shopping.

Love a good sale. I have a small family and with only three of us we don't need alot. I was brought up by people who lived through the depression and so we do ok.

Thats a really good idea, there is nothing worse than going to have a cuppa and finding there is no milk

We have six children,so when we go shopping we tend to get six lots of six pints of milk.we sometimes run out of milk,but not always.In the winter i tend to freeze milk aswell as then if we run out then there is more that we can use in the freezer.

I think that in the end it can save soo much time aswell as soo much money when you buy in bulk.If there are things on special then we also get more than we need and that lasts sometimes for more than a month,mainly cleaning things like dish washer tablets aswell as washing powder,loo roll.

I do so agree. Tho there is only the two of us plus two cat and two dogs, we are constantly running out of things. We do try to buy enough in bulk for the things that are not perishable.

actually you are right, when we buy in bulk, the price we get is in wholesale price already and we got to get a real good price with it

We do alot of bulk shopping as we find it easier than keep backwards aswell as forwards to the shop all of the time.A friend of mine said that she will take me shopping so that i can get all the things that i want to that my husband always forgets about,but thankfully he has been shopping yet again today and got bulk shopping.

I think that shopping is getting alot more expensive and when things are on special then it is always a great idea to get them,as in the long run it saves soo much money.With having a big family like us we find that there are always alot of things that we have to get each week,most weeks my husband has to use two trolleys and still go back to get another one,he takes one of the children to help him.

My husband has todo the shopping,as i am unable todo it.He do tend to forget things even when they are written on a list for him.He has had to go shopping nearly every day of this week,he hates shopping,as there are always things that we need.

We tend to write a list,but there are times that we forget things that we have not put on the list,i find that even when we have done bulk shopping there are always things that we run out of and it is horrid,when you need the things there and then that we run out of.

on my case, the ones i usually put on stock are things and not necessarily food, especially the ones that have expiry dates, well if in case i do stock up some food, it will have to be those food that do not have expiry date

I know what you mean,as i love to drink coke of an evening aswell as snack on a few things,so if we run out then i tend to send my husband on a shopping spree,lol.

My husband hates shopping at the best of times,so when we run out of things he is never happy,as he is the person that has to get the things we run out of.I think that by doing bulk shopping we can save money aswell as alot of time.

I tend to buy the largest boxes of things rather than a normal size,also like you i usually buy two of things rather than one,that way there is last chance of running out of them.I tend to buy alot of things that do not have a before date,like all the cleaning things that we use,aswell as things that can be stored.

I am forever trying to remember to write all the things that we need down on a list.There are things that we tend to forget to write on the list,so this time we got bulk of everything that we needed aswell as a few extra things,just to make sure that we do not run out of them.

We have always done bulk shopping,aswell as got all the largest size of items that we use,i think it is also a great way to save money aswell.My husband forgot a few things this week,all due to lack of time doing the shopping i think.We tend to get at least six lots of six pints of milk a week,thankfully we have two fridges,aswell as we freeze bread,so that we always have a few in the freezer if we run out,thankfully i have two fridge freezers,aswell as a cheast freezer.The only problem we have is space,so when buying bulk we have to find places to put all the shopping that we can not fit in aswell as on cupboards.I buy bulk cat food,i get a sack of cat biscuits,aswell as cases of cat food,but there are times we run out of cat food tins.
