If you have the money, restock your pantry, your freezer, your refrigerator with stuff that will last a few months, if not longer.
Christmas and Easter are when most stores offer bargains with the most products.
Example: I found Maxwell House Coffee (24.5 oz) sold for $9.99, reduced to $16.29, reduced from $27-something. I got 4 canisters.
Pasta, flour, cheese, butter, and more. Buy chicken, pork, and meat -- and freezer paper and freezer bags.
Cleansers (dishes, clothes, etc.). Vinegar, baking soda. Sponges, "scrubbers". Bars of soap for hand-washing and showers.
Toilet paper. Paper towels.
Get a circular from several stores and study them like Napoleon studied the maps of Europe.
Not only will you save money today, but tomorrow b/c we know the prices will increase with "gas surcharges" for deliveries to the stores in the near future.
Just be careful to not buy too much and there are storage issues.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
