More of the same.

I'm not a shop every week for what I need each week person. I buy on sale or large quantities. Hopefully, both at the same time.

And here I thought this post was about a literal bunker haha. That's how we keep all of the Boglehead's riff raff off of this board. They think we all live in bunkers stocked with AR-15's, gold bars and MRE's. ;) I have plenty of Larabars on hand! Actually, have plenty of several items on hand. Jus...

One thing that I think would really help is to revamp the sticky threads under each asset. I mean the links don't go anywhere, right?
