My boss looked at me and told me I have no room to talk, I just bought a ½ a pig and a ¼ cow. The difference is, I will not be storing any of that meat under my son's bed and we will consume it over the next year. I won't need to buy pork or beef for the next year or so and I won't buy any just because it's on sale. I have what I need and I bought it for a great price. When I need more, I will order another one. That is not hoarding as I will be almost out before I buy another one.
I would consider what you did as being along the same lines as preserving, freezing, and canning produce from your garden. (or someone's garden, anyway.) You are "putting by" for a season...and you have a specific time in mind when you will need to do the same thing again. That is way different than someone HOARDING every single item on a store shelf for themselves. Extreme Couponers make me angry when I go to the store, and I see them with a cart full of a single item, and then I try to buy ONE of the same item and the shelves are empty. :grumpy: I can't buy ONE bottle of ketchup, or one package of napkins, because some HOARDER has emptied out the shelf. Then, with my luck, I get stuck behind one of them in the checkout lane, while they are arguing with the cashier over every single stupid deduction. Grrrrr.....:grumpy::grumpy::grumpyand yes - that has all happened to me. I try to steer clear of the extreme couponers as much as possible. There is a huge difference between trying to get the best deal on something your family needs for that shopping cycle, and hoarding everything for yourself, ending up with enough mustard to last a lifetime.)Fortunately, we buy mostly whole foods, and I do most of my shopping at places other than the big box grocery stores, so I don't have to deal with them often.lt1jane said:we were talking about that show at work.
