Bingo! I don't buy anything unless it's *at least* 50% off. When it
is, I stock up. Occasionoally, seasonal sales are even better. My
last killing was last Thanksgiving. Swanson's broths, three for a
dollar. These days, with the supermarketing model being what it is,
everything is heavily discounted eventually. I let my Costco
membership expire.
