Places like Publix that do BOGO sales or Kroger that does the 10/$10 sales are a great place to stock up on the cheap. Buy the one, put the free away. Buy 10 put 5 away, etc. This doesn't take long and it really doesn't cost all that much to prepare. Grow your own good. Instead of planting flowers, plant beans or potatoes, etc. A flower bed can become a potato bet.
