I bought three huge bags of snacky pretzels today (I'm from Central/Eastern/Southern Europe :pac:).

First bought 2 in Tesco's, then clocked they had them in Lidl for almost half the price.

Don't ye hate it when that happens? :rolleyes:

I thought we'd see more chest freezer stocking up like meat, bread, etc, toiletries are the obvious one really. I'd buy office stationery in bulk like reams of paper, toner cartridges, consumables like pens, pos-its (I don't use them, hate them in fact, but the girl in the office love the coloured ones!), actually that reminds me - bottled water, I buy about forty litres a month in Tesco, and coffee, the big tins you get on vikingdirect.ie.

I always look at the special offers on the tesco site before I go shopping. Today they had 4 Birds eye frozen fish with breadcrumbs for 2.49 and are usually over a fiver. I bought 10 boxes:o

I do this with everything whenever there is a very good deal!

I remember the good pizzas were going for 2 for 3 euro. I bought 20 pizzas

Add some plastic sheeting to that list

Flights & Stems

con___manx1

match sticks

Moisturisers and cleansers - those buy 2, get 3rd free offers will be the death of my wallet. Same for hair products and make-up, I've vowed to run down stocks before buying any more but I'm very easily influenced by pretty things, especially if they're shiny. :P

Batteries - whenever I see them reduced I stock up on tons of AA and AAA's.

Paracetamol and Ibuprofen - obviously almost impossible to buy useful quantities of these to have in reserve in Ireland, but I buy large tubs of each when abroad.

Loo rolls and household detergents. Imagine the nightmare of running out of loo roll!

Coffee/tea/cereals/pasta/rice. Anything with a long shelf life is fair game.

Cleaning wipes, kitchen sponges, light bulbs (I have a drawer just of bulbs, about 50 of them), loo roll, sugar (I don't use sugar), tampons, tissues, kitchen roll, crackers. razor blades, baby wipes, stamps, wrapping paper, anchovies, tuna, cat food, jam jars, weed killer, napkins, tea light, water and tupperware. I have multiples of all of those things in the house at any one time. I even have a drawer full of emergency presents.

All I really need is a storm cellar and an apocalypse and I'm in business.
