A Cabinet Full of Jello
By: DebIn Grocery Shopping on July 13th, 2008
I’m not one of those hoarders who buys items on sale for the sake of buying items on sale, but if I find a decent sale on items we use all the time I stock up. Today I went to the “Discontinued” section of my local supermarket where they have items at a major discount because they’ll no longer be produced. They had shelves and shelves of Jello. Some of the flavors must not be selling well. I must have bought about 20 boxes at about 30 cents each - that’s the large boxes.
My family loves Jello. It’s easy to make, tastes good and it’s not filled with fat and calories. Ok, so it might take us a little while to eat our cabinet full of Jello, but I know we’ll use it so it isn’t a waste.
What are you hoarding?

Barilla Rigatoni. It was on sale in a big way and I thought it would be great for a graduation party, so I bought a lot. Peanut butter, my son is growing and eating and so I buy it in great quantities when it goes on sale. Ketchup - My whole family (excluding me) likes ketchup on everything.
