I don't tend to stock up, I just replace things as I use them. For instance, when I open a new bottle of laundry detergent (or other cleaning product) I buy the replacement.
In the last few years with all the kids gone, I have wasted more food by buying it and not using it before the expiration date.
Reading this thread reminds me that my son has said he wants a chest freezer and I have a small one that I really could give him. I think there are a couple out of date frozen pizzas in it as well as some ice packs and maybe a couple pounds of butter. It tends to hold a turkey for half a month before Thanksgiving.
