Viva! Welcome! And thank you for your wonderful post!

You have some really great info in there. What spreadsheet do you use? And the bulk buying I really want to get more into but first hubby needs to build me some more storage, I don't have near enough space to put stuff.

Which place do you bulk buy? We have a sam's but it's about 50 miles away I would only prob go there if I happened to be there for something else due to the gas cost. A costco would prob be about 60-70 miles for me but we have to go to Dallas every 1-2 monthes to my daughter's dermatologist so I could prob find one or the other along the way. I've never heard really which is better in deals. Usually we just buy the Walmart brand of stuff.

What items have you found to be really cost effective in bulk? Are there off brands to be found much cheaper?

I like all your money saving ways, I feel a kindred spirit!
