as much as I can afford when something is on sale, and head over to the Goodwill when I need something. I just bought 6 five-pound bags of sugar at 99 cents each at my grocery store, and will go back and buy 6 more later in the week (the limit is 6). I just carefully pack them away in closets, being careful about bugs. Last month I bought 60 boxes of Rice Roni for 30 dollars, and have them stored away. My son loves Rice Roni.

I try to do the best I can with the little I got and make it stretch as far as possible at stores that I believe have decent business practices. Wal-Mart doesn't make the cut.
