This week’s syndicated Super-Couponing Tips column is entitled “Solving the multiples conundrum.” Here’s an excerpt:
“I was so ‘happy’ to see someone else complain about having to buy multiple products to use a coupon. We are empty nesters living on a tight budget. I use coupons whenever I can to spend my budgeted grocery money wisely. I too have stopped cutting out the coupons when I have to buy more than one of something. How many people have the storage for three of something, like big bottles of juice, cereal, detergent, paper products, etc? I sure don’t.”

Hi- I live alone, and I have found out that some stuff such as pasta and cereal I can get in multiple boxes, and use it up in time. Some other stuff I can’t. Mayonnaise is one thing where it takes me forever to use up a large jar of it. I still have some canned pumpkin that I got on clearance last May at Jewel, but I will use it up eventually. I use it in pancakes and muffins. I go through about 10 cans of it a year.
I love peanut butter, and I bought five jars of it when Dominick’s was going out of business, and I only have two jars left. I did buy lots of Kraft cheese last year though on sale, and I forgot about some of it, and I had to throw about half of it away You do have to be more careful on perishable stuff when you are just cooking for one. I also have problems using up meat, and so I don’t buy a lot of meat other than chicken sausage or fish.
