Baby supplies and paper especially. We buy hamburger and divide it into 1 lb portions. Same with roasts and steaks. Their package of chuck roast can be divided into 4 portions and frozen and steaks frozen in packages of two.

Love the place. I don't have that much storage space either, plus a smallish refrigerator.
