Frugal and Energy Efficient Living

is not near at all and it's been years, but our son and DIL have repurchased a membership and I've been wanting to check it out. Dried beans also.

Unopened olive oil should last a couple of years, and I'm down on that. I like to have a couple bottles waiting in our basement pantry (we don't use fast enough to buy large cans). I also prefer tuna and sardines packed in oil, so that's what's usually on the shelf.

Again, just buying extras of what we'll eat and need anyway, with the nearest market nearly 20 minutes away. The only problem is sometimes deciding what to make with so many possibilities that can be thrown together from the pantry, Or my husband's insisting we CAN'T be out of something just because it's not in our kitchen pantry and that I should run down to the basement to double check before he leaves for the market.
