    Default Stradegy for food purchases

    Instead of purchasing food out right from my bank account i like to use my credit card, since if ever a time i will need my emergency food i highly doubt discover card will be sending me bills.

    Buy mass quantities and make your minimum payment for the food and you may end up with alot of free food!

    That's an interesting way to spell strategy.
    Keep Calm and Carry.

    But not before spending twice as much as the food normally costs in interest...

    No joke.

    I think buying a little at a time every month, within your financial means, will work out better and not burden you with crazy debt. Then again if you believe 2012 is really the end and you need to stock up now, by all means rack up the credit card debt. Of course if I were a gambling man, I'd be willing to bet Jan 1 2013 is going to be here right on schedule, followed by a really big CC bill.

    Little bit here and there adds up pretty quick.

    I underlined the key word for you. You may also have Discover put a lien on your wages too. With that logic, why don't you take out a massive home equity loan on your house? You could buy a metric butt ton of food with that. They may foreclose on your house, but hey, you get to keep all that food!

    I can think of only one way this works out in your favor...
    ... and a lot of ways it doesn't...
