Isn't that the way? Those BOGOs get you sometimes. I have potatoes
on my shopping list, get to the store, there are the potatoes I want, and
if I buy one bag, I get one free. Well, how can I just leave the free one
there? So I take it home and try to use it up before it goes bad. I
usually manage, but 10 pound of potatoes is a lot for me to use up.

Before anyone says it, yes I could drop off the potatoes at the food
bank, whatever. I am just using potatoes as an example, there are
many BOGOs in the sales circulars, same deal. Not great for single
people looking to save money.
