I order enough to last the month and always order more than I need, I
never get to where it's an emergency... I actually keep at least a
month's worth ahead. I do the same with people foods... if it's
something I know we will use that's not perishable and it's on sale
I'll buy 3-4. Last week orange marmalade was on sale at half the
usual price, I bought four jars. I like orange marmalade as aspread
but I also use it as a cooking ingredient in orinetal dishes, it's
even good in salad dressings... I use it for baking too, excellent in
chocolate cake/brownies.
