Weedkiller!
We live on almost 6 acres in Western Oregon.. Weeds and blackberry goes nuts this time of year so I always buy the 2.5 gallon jugs.
Oh in case your wondering.. Take the so called super concentrated Roundup in the 1 litre container and compare that to a generic glyphosphate 2.5 gallon jug at about $70.
The cost is 6.5 times as expensive in the smaller container!!!!!
This includes the fact that the 1 litre bottle is 18% concentration, but the 2.5 gallon jug is 49%.
How often or heavy do you apply to blackberries? I have not had much success with roundup, but digging them out is three times a year, so I am missing doing it sometimes, and now have more than I did when I started 5 yrs ago..
Sorry to hijack..
I buy peanut butter in bulk, for the year supply on sale, then buy 50 lb veggies (potatoes, carrots, beets, onions and cabbage) in fall when super cheap and freeze or preserve. They lasted about 4 months before we ate them all. Big bag of oats, quinoa, Sugar! Raisins, nuts ( keep in freezer), chic chips in 5 lb bags. Yeast in 1 lb qty in fzr ..good for 2years.. White flour, definitely, but the price doesn't drop much after the 25lb bag, and I get it on sale every 2 mos if needed...
Whole wheat or brown anything has oils that go rancid in less than 6 months.My mistake -I have way too much herbs and spices to use before going stale, so don't make my mistake!
I have bought beef and frozen chicken IQF in 10 to 50 lb qty. Need to eat a lot, though.
Bulk grass seed lasts 2 years if generously applied. I buy bulk compost and dirt when I get it.
I don't use containers, but we rarely gave pantry pests in the north. I like non zip freezer bags. Keep foods in their original paper/ burlap bags.
