I have been doing that with butter and flour lately, and for milk
yesterday.

Albertsons in this area has been having these sales on all three of
those items. Flour has been $1.89/5lbs, so I got several bags. It
is their store brand, and they have unbleached as well as bread flour.
With the cost of flour skyrocketing, I felt it was too good a deal to
pass up.

Same with butter. For a few weeks now, they have had it at
$1.67/pound. I stocked up my freezer.

And this week, they have milk at $1/half gallon. I got a few cartons,
to make some paneer, and to just have on hand. Milk freezes well,
correct?
