I prefer to put it on the list of things I need sometime
and only buy it when it shows up as a special. And I
have a list of the best specials prices I have seen too.

And also the stuff that has been seen on a better than usual
special price as long as I will use it before its best before date etc.

I have a lot more than that with quite a bit of stuff. For example
I currently have a year's supply of marmalade when I found a
special for limes, something you dont see that often at all and
I decided to get into making marmalade because the one I liked
most stopped being made and I couldnt find anything as good.

I only do that when the the supply is getting low. And it
isnt a shopping list with other than fresh food either, its
essentially a list of what to look for in specials etc.

Thats not that easy with fresh fruit and veg.

In my case it isnt, but I find shopping too boring so prefer to minimise the
trips.
