I rarely buy cases of food. I did buy a case of Campbell's chicken and
noodle soup for about $4.00. Even if I give the remaining cans away, I
didn't lose money. I buy some vegetables by the case because we eat that
many. I did buy that case of Taco Bell sauce that is horrible. Had I liked
it, it wouldn't have been a waste. I have bought fruit spread and seed
butter by the case but again, even if we didn't eat all of it, I was still
saving money. I did have to buy some things by the case when Angela had to
eat gluten free only because they didn't come any other way.

These days every store sells gluten free and there are a lot more products
than there were when she needed the diet. It didn't used to be that way.

I get most of my cooking things at Target or Sur La Table. Sometimes
Walmart, Fred Meyer, Big Lots, Dollar Tree or Amazon. I always try to look
for the best price and I pretty well know what other stores charge. I just
haven't found many bargains at Bed Bath and Beyond.
