Too funny Begonia. I just counted my effort a couple of days ago. Sounds like you're doing pretty well to me.
After saving and storing, but not specifically buying precancels over the past 20 or so years, I thought I had a lot. So I recently bought a K&P album and have been filling it from my hoard for several weeks. When I counted earlier this week... I'm only at 15%.

Time to start buying.
