don't forget Publix weekly BOGO sales. This week they have mustard, lighters, veggies, bbq sauce, etc. Not sure how their prices compare but I am pretty satisfied with some of their deals. About every 6-8 weeks, they run a BOGO on 8 oclock coffee at $5.99 That works out ot $3.00 per 12 oz...
Just a word of personal experience. I bought the exact same item last year with similar thoughts. I tried to use it/test it twice. Utter failure. There were leaks, one of the pieces broke, etc. I couldn't even make myself return it. Mine was a POS and I will never buy another. Great idea...

We have been putting extra food back for 2 years now when funds permit. We have had to use it once already when my BIL lost his job and they ran short of $$. It's amazing how seeing it first hand brings it into clear focus. Was able to give them enough food for a month for 3 people. We am...
