I have just such a story of my own -- a few years ago I ran into a market closing out boxes of pasta for 25 cents each -- every variety and shape imaginable. I filled a grocery cart to overflowing and smiled all the way home. I learned that pasta lasts way beyond the expiration date! My husband did something similar when he found 2-liter bottles of Coke on sale for about 50 cents each - he bought 20 cases! Love this story.

One of the Krogers here had them for $1. They're normally $2.50-2.75. I bought every one I could. I brought some to the ladies I work with and they were thrilled. Gave some to my new DIL, she had never used them, so I now have about 7 boxes for me. 4 to a box- it will last me a couple of months at least Sounds like what I did with the Reynolds crock pot liners.

We stock up all the time whenever I have an errand in there. My kids only like the "traditional" kind, which means plain. No mushroom or garlic flavorings. I have six kids so this is a great and easy way to feed them. Target “Market brand” spaghetti sauce is 1.00 a jar. We stock up all the time whenever I have an errand in there.

You say you use up 3 or 4 bottles per month, it would be interesting to hear in a few months how many you've averaged. You might end up using more since you have so much readily available. In any case it works out to be a great deal. You should've gotten some different flavors though! Those are all the same! Great deal but I bet the sauce lasts you less time than you expect.

We had a big pantry room in our basement and it was always stocked up to capacity pretty much. When my parents saw a great deal on something that we used and didn't spoil, they'd buy a ton of it. Some may think its odd that we'd have a hundred cans of something but then again they saved up a lot of money on just a working class salary in a pretty expensive part of the country. I live alone and I still will buy up a ton of things like pasta sauce or whatever if its on a really good sale. I live in an apartment building and have had neighbors see me carrying all these things in and being alarmed because they know I live alone. But whatever. I just bought two cases (48 cans each) of Bumble Bee Tuna that was on a super sale of 25 cents a can (normally a good sale hear has them at like 80cents to $1). But I make tuna sandwiches a lot, and even though these will probably last me a year who cares, for a year I don't have to buy any. I do the same thing, it was just how we were raised I guess.
