Amen, Lux! I scored 5 pounds of flour yesterday for 84 cents because the corner had ripped and been taped. And when I buy a specialized item for a recipe, I try to find other recipes that can use it as well so it doesn't go to waste. I can't imagine not having something in the pantry unless one is too poor and that's another story.
