I stocked up on Dog food last week. it was on sale plus I had some high value coupons for it so we have a few 18lb bags... it will only last us a couple of weeks though lol.
our "stash" is a constant rotation of products. Nothing sits in the cupboard or in the basement for long. for example, when we run out of beans upstairs, I will grab some from downstairs and then buy to replace the stash and then use those ones when we run out and replace those and so on and so forth. But with three people in the house... one being a growing child who has a hollow leg... we go through the food rather quickly
