I mostly choose things that can be stored for a long time, things that can be stored conveniently, such as toilet paper, laundry detergent and so on. These things are necessities of life, which are consumed almost all the time and can be stored for a long time. For example, a bag of toilet paper can be stored for three years, and so can laundry detergent, so you can save a lot of money by buying more while you are cheap. And if you store more at home, you can plan ahead.
Buy rice, noodles, oil and other things, and take advantage of the promotion to buy more, but not too much. Generally, you only need to buy enough for one or two months. Because this kind of thing can't be stored for a long time, it's not only stale, but also prone to mildew, especially if too much food is stored in summer, it will lead to many moths at home. So everyone should be calm when hoarding things. Although some things look cheap, they can't be stored for long.
Secondly, it depends on the shelf life of things. For example, some milk is cheap because it is near the shelf life. Such milk will soon expire when it is bought home. When it is wasted, it will not be worth the candle. Moreover, it is also necessary to see if one thing is really a promotion. Some merchants are under the banner of promotion, but in fact things are more expensive than usual. So you can usually look at the price of something and wait until it is really cheap before buying it.
