In answer to the original question. We tend to keep a stock of items in the larder and freezer. That allows me to shop when things are on sale or if I have a coupon. For example corn beef is cheap and plentiful right now because of Saint Patty's day so I bought eight to keep in the freezer.

I tend to shop during the summer months now since I always hated having to do it in the winter when it is cold. Now that I'm FIRED I see no reason to go out in rotten weather if I don't have to, at least not for food. In the winter I don't shop if it is snowing or raining. Love that.
We are able to keep most food items over the winter except fresh eggs, milk and produce so we do go out for that if we want it. (usually if we are out for some other reason.) We can and do bake our own bread now that we have the time and if the weather really stinks I keep Egg Beaters in the freezer and have powdered milk to use for cooking.
