This way I know that it won't go bad, and I have room to store it. It works for us anyway.

My magic number for my family on most items is six to 8 which is ironic due to what Betty wrote. this is how many I find I need until the next sale and or coupon but it took me years to perfect this number.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8075738812838303917.post-13254589297989977812011-05-20T12:32:47.128-04:002011-05-20T12:32:47.128-04:00Interesting question you posed there.

In your question, the number of coupons is "unlimited" so, I'll move on to my next criteria. How much money can I afford to spend on the extras? And last but not least, how much do I think my family will use until the next sale which I've learned over the years is about 6 to 8 weeks. Since we eat a pasta dish once a week, I'd buy at least 8 boxes of the sale pasta and that should get me to the next sale.
