HI All
Well I have been keeping track of anything I do frugally. In the month of April my spending of food items has gone up but I have been mostly buying everything on sale and stockpiling a little more than I normally do. There are some financial experts that tell you not to do this. I don't agree. I feel that I am cost-averaging my food purchases. Since I only buy on sale, it makes sense to stock up.

For me my only debt is my house. We don't overeat, I make sure that it doesn't go bad. For me personally I dollar cost average my purchases so that I can effectively use my money better. Rather than pay $14.99 a pound for t-bones, by buying a side of beef, I pay 1.64 a pound for t-bones and they are packaged and trimed the way we like. Same with other foods.
I only buy in bulk (or dollarcost averaging) foods that we use on a consist basis. Foods that are a little more infrequent I buy when needed.
