No, really. When you have a chunk of money, go buy large quantities of things you use all the time, like toilet paper, vegetables in season, meat and baking goods like sugar, flour and rice.
Blanch and freeze the veggies, or can them, separate the large packages of meat into useable sizes and freeze, and seal the sugar, flour and rice into vermin-proof containers.
If you buy bulk, the initial cost is more, but the per pound or unit price is much lower. For example, a couple of weeks ago, I bought two 24-packs of toilet paper. We won't use that for nearly 6 months, but I spent 11 bucks (basically, 5 pounds). At that price, it was what, 23 cents a roll? how cheap is that?
