Charting Usage To Determine Appropriate Stockpiles | I've Paid For This Twice Already... http://www.paidtwice.com/2008/12/11/charting-usage-to-determine-appropriate-stockpiles/#comment-66628 Stacey Fri, 12 Dec 2008 14:15:45 +0000 http://www.paidtwice.com/2008/12/11/charting-usage-to-determine-appropriate-stockpiles/#comment-66628 Great idea! I stocked up on toilet paper right after we bought our house, two 24-packs for a steal. Now I know that we use less than 1 roll per week, so 48 rolls last about a year - and that the best sales happen about once per year. :) I think we all do this subconciously, but taking inventory is a great idea for perisables. Like you said, always check the expiration date in the store - I almost bought expired coffee last week. Great idea!
