When we moved recently, we went through the pantries and there were multiple cans of various things hidden in the back that she had been stockpiling "just in case". Too funny!<BR/><BR/>-HilaHilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12113107221785400285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36217996.post-370230805919597002007-02-24T20:38:00.000-05:002007-02-24T20:38:00.000-05:00PT - Even though your wife can allegedly make a ku...PT - Even though your wife can allegedly make a kugel out of them, marinated mushrooms are not on my list of staples. Yikes.<BR/><BR/>SL - We are definitely kindred blogger spirits! Don't even get me started on how many diapers we have! I haven't bought those in months, and it's not for lack of using them! Andy's been steadily holding at size 4 for a long while, and I have some leftover 5's of Ann's when he needs them. <BR/><BR/>Shopping sales for the basics is great, and by not being brand-loyal about almost anything, I find that there's always some brand of what I'm looking for on sale, even without too much advance research or planning.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and thanks for blogrolling me!RaggedyMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01022064984702182705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36217996.post-57582843298109265502007-02-23T16:58:00.000-05:002007-02-23T16:58:00.000-05:00We must be twins or something because I am always ...We must be twins or something because I am always stocked (oh, and the neighbors are well aware, so I practically run a sample shop).<BR/><BR/>I can always relate to your posts, but if I posted my list even I would be embarrassed. Let's just say that if we were snowed in we could probably eat for 3 months if need be and we wouldn't run out of diapers either. :) <BR/><BR/>I am really good with the sales and we do work down our inventory, just in shifts.<BR/><BR/> BTW-I finally updated my blogroll, so you will see yourself there.Orthonomicshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07892074485262548496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36217996.post-41557587538037113282007-02-23T11:19:00.000-05:002007-02-23T11:19:00.000-05:00...mmm...marinated mushrooms...we're all OUT!!

We go through elbows like toilet paper around here. I agree, why are we always shopping?!<BR/><BR/>PT - I can't even imagine the food turnaround at your house. I remember having breakfast once at my cousins' house (11 kids) and the quantity of milk and boxes of cereal made me dizzy! Thank G-d you have such a great 'head of inventory'!<BR/><BR/>Orieyenta - Something about eggs just makes me feel ready to cook anything! Glad I'm not alone!<BR/><BR/>Mother in Israel - I'm with you, I'm trying to go through the freezer, pantry, and fridge as much as I can these days and actually use the stuff instead of cramming in new purchases and losing things in the shuffle. We're a big leftovers family, and I try to rotate new stuff to the back!<BR/><BR/><BR/>Luby - LOL! I was trying to find pictures of food and came across the picture that my daughter wanted me to take of some food we prepared for a Shalom Zachar.RaggedyMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01022064984702182705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36217996.post-41686143371169752222007-02-22T17:02:00.000-05:002007-02-22T17:02:00.000-05:00Because you don't want to have to get your kids dr...Because you don't want to have to get your kids dressed and run to the store an hour before dinner is on the table. But the flip side of that is that we don't go shopping all the time either. I love the challenge of cooking with what I have and throwing out as little as possible.mother in israelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13715046177293916034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36217996.post-32925825348039980682007-02-22T16:28:00.000-05:002007-02-22T16:28:00.000-05:00Too funny.

I am right there with you on the eggs...we could have a whole house full of food but if there were no eggs we'd probably walk around wondering what to eat!orieyentahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08196912567675213457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36217996.post-16773408065141980632007-02-22T14:22:00.000-05:002007-02-22T14:22:00.000-05:00We go through milk like you wouldn't believe-easil...We go through milk like you wouldn't believe-easily a gallon a day when all the kids are home.<BR/><BR/>I have no idea how Mrs. B. manages to keep us stocked up. Somehow she knows exactly how many gallons are in the fridge and how many are in the "overflow" fridge downstairs and always manages to bring a few home just when we're about to run out.PsychoToddlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00874353280798371891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36217996.post-65561054127062032112007-02-22T13:52:00.000-05:002007-02-22T13:52:00.000-05:00you're not alone! everyone i know keeps multiple ...you're not alone! everyone i know keeps multiple cans of tuna, boxes of pasta and cereal, jars of tomato sauce etc on hand, and we are still all in the supermarket 2-3 times per week!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
