The key is to stock up on things that you WILL need and will eventually use. This isn't wasteful. The only thing you lose is the interest you would have earned having the money in the bank - and these days, with interest rates as they are, I'd rather have enough toilet paper in the house. <grin>

I'll buy two or three of something if it's on sale, and I have a spare freezer so I do keep a fair stock of meat in there when I find it on sale. Other than that, I'm not a "stocker" as it takes up precious space that I don't have.

Wait ... we're NOT talking about fabric stocking are we? I mean, that doesn't count.

I stock up on the items that I regularly use. By doing so I can save money by getting them on sales/specials/coupons, and I am money ahead.
I can always apply my savings to my ever increasing electric bill or to help compensate for rising gas prices :D:D:D

I made sure I bought enough toilet paper to last for a while. That is the only thing I don't want to run out of. I can live without a lot of things, but not toilet paper. lol

I understand stocking up on good deals, when they come along. The only thing we are stocking up on is reg. light bulbs and thats because I'am upset with the gov. mandateing the use of the new light bulbs, how dare they tell us what kind of light bulbs to use then charge us (around here) 7.00 dollars for two new light bulbs that have mercery in them and then charge us.50cents to despose of them, and no they don't last any longer at least the ones I purchasedtwo of them burnt out as soon as I put them in. Oh well off my soap box. your right no since in hoarding money either , off to my LQ S :D
