Stockpiling means something different to everyone. I think it’s best thing to do is to take a few days to brake down the different kinds of stockpiling. Once we know which kind of stockpile we have. Then we go over the best way to build your stockpile with the right items and maintaining it.
General Shopper Stockpile (GSS)
Most of us have done general stockpiling at some point. We pick up extra items because the sale states 2/4. For example; Barilla pasta sauce 2 jars for $4.00. We buy both jars because that is what the sale is for. GSS buys some items on sale, but for the most part pick up the items as they are need for that weeks meals no matter the cost. GSS uses coupons here and there if they remember.
If you are still shopping this way, Stop now! There is a better way to shop that will save you time and money.
Basic Coupon Stockpile (BCS)
BCS understand using coupons when an item is on sale gives them the best discount on the item. They have also found the value of staking coupons. Using a manufacturer coupon with a store coupon. They buy multiple of the same item while it’s on sale with their coupons For example, BCS would buy 8 jars of the barilla pasta sauce because they had manufacturer coupon for a 1.00 off on jar, then a store coupon for 2.00 off 8 jars. This coupon combo brings each jar down to .75 cents. They saved $2.70 per jar.
Normally, BCS try to buy everything they can while it’s on sale with coupons. They know which stores have the best deals. They are starting to understand the coupon and sale ad cycle. On most transactions they are able to save at least 35%. They have saved a good amount of money and time by having a basic coupon stockpile.
If you are at this level, Great Job. It’s time to take it to the next level.
On Friday we will plunge into the 12-week coupon stockpile. This is the exciting level of stockpiling. You will see the biggest changes in the way you shop, the amount of money you will save. Plus you will always have a pantry full.
