I just made 50% on my money

There is nothing that gives you such a good return on your money as buying groceries, household products and personal products on sale. Even buying non-perishable items at regular price will save you money as the regular price of these items always goes up.

The trick is to buy what you actually use, rotate your stock, restock at sale prices again and pay cash.

It is silly to think that not spending money saves you money. You have to buy certain items so buying those that are not perishable will save you more money than folding it and putting it back in your pocket. You are just fooling yourself by delaying an expenditure. It is better to buy low and have extra and not end up paying whatever price you will have to pay when you need what you need.

When I worked at the post office one of my customers was a lady who would only buy stamps one at a time and was in line nearly every day to buy one stamp. Her reasoning was that she could die at anytime so why invest money in extra stamps. wow. I told her that her heirs would profit by inheriting stamps or they could use the stamps to notify her friends and relatives of her passing. She could not see that if she bought the stamps in rolls of 100 she would save 25% off the purchase price plus since they were unmarked stamps (no value amount printed on them) if it took her 2 years to use them up she would have saved both yearly increases and would still be mailing stamps at the old price.

Fishhead did save on his purchase by buying it on sale because he will use the item, he got it cheaper than regular price and the regular price will go up anyways. The $1.50 he saved on each item can be used to buy something else on sale thus saving even more money. And if the raisins do "dry" out they are dried fruit to begin with so they will just get drier and this is immaterial since you can then re-hydrate them.

Common sense should tell you if you gave someone some money it meant you were spending money, not saving it.
Much like the govt.

I think your answer to me was right We are working off the thread title

That is being pedantic. The discussion is about saving money on expenditures. Everyone can save all their money simply by not spending it. What interests people is how to save on the amount of money that we must spend on normal expenditures.

If I use 30 pounds of sugar for canning and I purchase it in 3 ten pound bags that are on sale in January at a price that saves me $2 per bag on the regular price I may have had a larger initial outlay but I still SAVE $6 on the purchase of an item that I will need and use. Of course I could wait and buy it at regular price (or the inflated price that occurs during canning season) when I must have it but that would be foolish. I would rather save the $6 on one purchase and be able to reroute it into more discounted purchases.
