I found pumpkin for 99 cents a can so I bought 6 cans.

I found pudding for 25 cents a box, so I bought 10 boxes for my cakes. I use them for icing along with cool whip.

I bought chocolate chips, and pecans on sale so I stocked up on them.

Marshmallow cream was 89 cents so I bought 3 of them for fudge.

I didn't stock up on much of anything this year, the sales prices this year at our local grocery store were not very good at all! I got some flour and yeast, and some ground ginger.
