Do you offer classes? Id be happy to send my wife and DIL


No, but I can reccomend the 'School of Hard Knocks'.

I buy most non perishables by the tray, or carton. I asked the
manager of Save-A-Lot to order extras for me, so I can get unopened bulk
items like an eight pack of soda in two liter bottles. I shop at Sam's
Club about once a month, and generally only go shopping two or three
times a month. I save a lot of miles on the old truck that way. My rule
of thumb is, 'If something is down to half the bulk package, get
another.' A few are allowed to go down to a quarter, but they are large
or not used as often.

"Use the last one, buy two". The replacement, and the spare.

Light bulbs, fuses, widgets, thing-gummies and what nots.
