I have selected all products of the type that replacements are generally not kept. They are everyday items to me yet the volume used everyday is minimal. This ensures they stay in stock for all a very long time. Plus due to its slow usage volume wise, i have a lengthy period in which to purchase replacements, so never really running out/
This is why all my products have a low stock turn, max being 12 / year, so once a month. The reason is lifestye, i grow and eat alot of my own veg so don't need to buy regulary from shops/supermarkets. For this reason space in cupboards is not a premium and i do not /cannot increase efficiency of my shopping trips. (perhaps since all are non-perishable.)
I could however seek further discounts by buying at wholesalers in larger quantity. Yet although spce is not an issue for me in terms of volume overall, often larger packs come in awkward sizes for the domestic kitchen cupboards, not fitting on shelves would cause a space problem when there is plenty!!
Taken from a fellow students notes on tgf forum in regard to pareto and abc inventory, added here as he is saying how he does not shop a lot because he grows alot of his own stuff= saving money but also being healthy.
