Not quoting you but please define bargain food.
Do you mean foods bought on sale or foods bought at the bargain barn?
The first is a good idea if you are going to use it all within about 6 months. The latter you might want to check the expiration dates as it might already be ruined.
Oh and not a good idea to stock up if the store's freezers have been turned off. (That was not a cheap lesson when it turned out all the frozen vegetables had thawed).
Oh and on your food analogy. That is only if you buy good for you foods in the first place.
Now yes, stocking up on sales is a good idea if you have the room.
Oh and your cost savings can apply to the pantry too.
Can you now spot the one that does stock up?
And thanks for the reminder that I need gallon freezer bags.
Oh if there are very few people in your household, you can also make bigger meals and freeze part of it for a quick meal later on.
Remember to date everything.
