With many items I simply order two, I'm going to use both anyway and
saves me from having to order so often, also saves money because
typically on the next order the price is higher. I get all my OTC
drugs and toiletries that way, lots of pet foods too, my cats like
Greenies treats, so I buy bulk, Amazon is cheaper than any other
store.
