We leave a florescent light on in the bathroom on the main floor and in the laundry room (in the basement). Bugs are attracted to the light. Our bathroom counter gets lots of bugs as does the basement floor. The counters in the kitchen, diningroom etc. are virtually bug free. We also keep a few spiders in the corners of the rooms- they help eat the bugs. (the really huge spiders we take outdoors- and no, we're not talking trantulas or other dangerous ones!). Also cedar shavings in a jar (less toxic than mothballs) could be put in a corner of the cupboard/ storage area keeps away moths ( think grandma's cedar chest for blankets).

Especially bulk canned items. For example, I find that I really notice a difference when eating a canned soup as opposed to a home made recipe for vegetable soup. However, I think many will easily throw out the organic items.

Unfortunately, the items on our list last month are not always in stock this month (much like Walmart). So we try to stay somewhat flexible in our purchase of substitutes and multi-month purchases. We also constantly compare prices to see if prices of the same item are cheaper at other stores. For example, diapers may be cheaper at Sam's one month, and then cheaper at Walmart the next.
