Stockpile Level 3

12-Week Coupon Stockpile - (12-WCS)

I know this can sound impossible or completely overwhelming.  Take a deep breath, the twelve week coupon stockpile is the stockpile we will be talking about over the next month.  When I first heard about this kind of stockpile I was sure Dave from coupon-wizards (http://www.coupon-wizards.com/) had a reason for this madness, but it just sounded crazy.  There is a cycle for the coupons to be released and the lowest price at our stores.  Normally the cycle is a twelve week time fame.

12-WCS uses the coupon and sale cycle to build a stockpile to save their family the most money.  They only buy items on sale with the matching coupon.  Plus they try to stack store coupons with the manufacture coupon as much as possible.  They also use the stores rebate programs to get free items for the stockpile.

If we look at the example of Barilla pasta sauce that Meijer had it on sale 2 weeks ago.  If the family uses one jar a week, you would need 12 jars for the kind of stockpile.  You could spend 33.36 for them. Buying then on sale with the matching mfg and store coupons will cost you 9.00 for 12 week supply.  A savings of 24.36. 

I hope you are making your list of the itmes your family uses every week and the amount used.  This is the first step in making a twelve week stock pile.
