My Answers:

Leave a commentLove the cat photo! We also bulk buy. The movers kept staring at us when they moved tons of bathroom supplies. And who in the heck turns down chocolate? Are they crazy!
I don’t buy as much as I once did when the boys were home but my mom always shopped the sales and stocked up so I guess I kind of learned that from her! And chocolate–heck yea!!!!
We don’t buy in bulk because we don’t have much storage space for extra stuff.
Sounds like the perfect winter night to me too.
I used to sleep straight through the night all the time but not anymore–those hot flashes wake me up! Sometimes I get stiff if I stay in one position now–I used to be able to sleep on my back all night long. Those were the days!
Hot flashes are grand, aren’t they? I don’t really get flashes but I get the night sweats which are lovely also. I love being a girl sometimes!!!
Good answers! I buy some things in bulk and others in 2 for 1 sales…I like to keep a good stock of the items we use.

Hey Mama Bear—thanks for stopping by and commenting. I agree—I like to do the 2 for 1 sales, too!!! It is a great way to have things on hand when you need them!!! Happy Friday!
bulk buying is a habit I had to break after the kids moved away!
Shopping in bulk for paper products is a huge help. I really wish we had the space to purchase more in bulk just to keep us from having to go to the store often. It would be awesome, if we could get diary home service delivery like in the old days at very reasonable prices. I’d sign on for that in a heart beat!
Sounds like a wonderful way to spend a winter night 🙂 & for me to have a full night sleep would be nearly impossible since I am a night owl & I dj outside of my regular job here at the food bank. I agree with “TBM”, what woman in her right mind would ever turn down chocolate???? lol And buying in bulk is a great idea to save money however, it is just me, so there would be a lot of extras to last me a looooooong time 😀
P.S. That photo of the cat is awesome! lol
Thanks, Alicia!! This is just a fun blog hop I do every week so I am glad to have you join in and share with me what you are thinking!!! And buying in bulk is a little silly for one person—I agree. By the time you get to it some of it may not be good—-unless it is paper products!!! 🙂
We try to do a Costco trip once a month or so… with 5 of us at home it makes sense. Love, love, love chocolate… the German kind is and I think, will always be my favorite!!! 🙂
Oh German chocolate is the best and of course YOU would be an expert on it!!! 🙂
LOL about the cat picture. Too funny! We’re only two people, too. I’m always looking to buy in bulk but it doesn’t pay for just the two of us.
The cat picture kind of describes me today……:-)
I like cats as you know and I love your picture of the sleeping cat. They seem to be able to sleep anytime, anywhere.
Thanks, Mother! The kitty picture was pretty cute, wasn’t it?
Bulk is so convenient for often used items and non-perishables.
Yep—-you can never have too much toilet paper, right???
OMG, I agree with ALL your answers… Sleeping through the night? What is that Love the picture! And buying in bulk, Marc and I do a weekly costco run (enough said?)
Weekly Costco run would be amazing—-we do the Sam’s Club thing but not with any regularity anymore.
