300.00 worth of food stamps for 150.00. Making sure the bitch goes to the store with me so I don’t get ganked.
What the heck are food stamps? Vouchers for food or something? We don't have anything like that here, people on benefits just get paid money.
It’s money on a card that can only be used for food. People will sell them for half price.
Shit, we spend 250.00 a week on groceries. I jump on these types of deals. If I don’t, someone else will.
I manage all foodstuffs and cooking, so we live quite comfortably on 100-150 a week by buying half off stuff every two weeks and either freezing extra, dehydrating it, or shelf stocking the pantry. No need to do what you're doing...but I understand.
We are purchasing a freezer and cabinet for the garage soon. Costs will go down then. I buy a lot of fresh veggies, fruits and meat.
This opportunity comes once a year, if I’m lucky.
I order stuff for delivery every two weeks...make sure it gets past the 300.00 mark so I pay no delivery fee. No matter what we have, I still go through the deals to get into the 300-310 range.
Over time we can bulk up or dwindle a bit here or there on the rare item, but it's cyclical and our pantry, fridge, and freezers could easily endure a 6-12 month full on lockdown, at a 25-50% fortnightly discount.
A savings of 3.5-5k per year, as the crow flies...
We could never truly stock up til now due to space.
