I still buy in bulk when I find a good deal. I'm not going to turn down 15% savings.
On the other hand, perhaps the FAA could have managed to not buy a bunch of tubes for their computers, and have upgraded by now...

I’ve been buying nonperishable staples whenever they’re on sale since 2007. Things I’d use anyway, eventually. Not nuts about it, pantry’s always full. That’s about the extent of it. If I had to survive off of what I’ve put back I’d make it a few months at most, and would be sick of rice and beans by then, lol. But, it’s peace of mind and a fallback if needed. It’s not money poorly spent, it’s a net gain.
