Have any of you ever stock up "for a year" for staples that would last a while?
I know canned goods for the family of two (hubby is strictly peanut butter sandwich, eats NO veggies (except ff), no fruits no meat). I would buy canned goods for 35 to 49 cents a piece for GG green beans. I bought three and half trays full. Frozen broccoli, corn. Canned carrots, the expensive kind was down to 39 cents a can from 1.88, I bought a tray of that. Campbell's, on the holidays, I would buy a flat of various cream of ---------- soup to make chicken pot pies, tater tots casseroles and clam chowders, etc.
Now I have to make a tally of how much toliet paper I use in a year, paper towels for spills (yes can use towels for other things) and I have not bought any "personals" in the past year since I bought some of BYCer's "personals". Its GREAT!
Instead of using swifter pads, I use towels to wipe down the floors. Use old towels for that!
So any of you have any tips for hamster/gerbil/guinea pig care? Bedding? Foods? We have three hammies now, and we only give them a teaspoon of food each day (or more if they did polish it up) but they do not like those millet seeds at all or some of the oats of lesser quality (looked dried out but the package is good for another year). We buy those dustless wood beddings. Paper is good but it stinks after three days. I thought about Sweet PDZ but not sure if they will be safe for hammies.
