I like to think of it as a little algorithm: – if a food is overpriced, buy zero or the minimum possible amount you can live with – if a food is regular price, buy an amount to last until your next grocery trip (minimum 1 week supply) – if a food is underpriced, buy at least enough to last until the next expected sale at this level (4 weeks?) – if a food is drastically underpriced, buy a near-infinite amount, limited only by shelf life of food and available stock on shelves. If Bananas go to 1 cent per pound, you can’t really benefit. But if rolled oats dropped to an all-time low, I’d probably buy at least a year’s supply (100 pounds).
