Is this a stock up price, or just a really good deal?ģ. Is this something I like and consume regularly?Ģ. If you’re unsure if you should stock up on an item ask yourself these questions:ġ. I had a coupon to match with an extremely good deal, which meant I could get three twelve count boxes for just $2.31! Since I had two of these coupons, I bought six boxes of Pop-tarts and only spent $4.62 total!

Here’s an example of how we use sales to stock our coupon stockpile (without going crazy):Ī few months ago, there was a REALLY good deal on Pop-Tarts at Publix. But next week Coke will be, so you stock up on Pepsi this week, and Coke the next (unless you are brand loyal to one brand over the other, then you stock up on enough PEPSI until it will be on sale again… and you pass right over the Coke sale. So right now, Pepsi might be on sale, and at it’s lowest price (the stock up price), and that means Coke is not. Remember that this cycle is ongoing for each item that goes on sale. Many of the items you use will hit their lowest price every four to six-weeks (we call this the sales cycle), that means you need to buy enough to last your family until the next cycle. If an item you use regularly is on sale, and it meets its stock up price criteria, stock up! So how do you save money when you are buying more? I’m going to share with you my secrets to building your stockpile.

James and I have a regular house and garage and we have a stockpile.
#COUPONING STOCKPILE FULL#
Shopping this way ensures you never pay full price for the items you’d be using anyway!īut don’t get me wrong, you don’t have to fill your garage top to bottom with pasta, peanut butter, and condiments to reap the benefits of a coupon stockpile. When a product reaches its rock-bottom price (between 50 to 70 percent off), you purchase enough to last your family until the next sale. Instead of purchasing what you need on a weekly basis, you watch the sales cycles and match those items with coupons. While it might seem a bit counterintuitive, buying multiple quantities of an item your family regularly uses when it reaches its rock-bottom price will save you tons of money. Stockpiling isn’t just something you do to prepare for that looming hurricane or snow blizzard, it can also help reduce your grocery bill significantly as you use it every other month of the year.Īsk any TrueCouponer what their secret to saving money is, and they’ll likely tell you it’s creating a coupon stockpile. If you are new to Couponing, you might want to take a moment to read more in my Getting Started Couponing series.Now about my coupon stockpile. So talk with your friends about getting together and swapping some of your stockpile items! This is what I ended up with which were all items I was running low on also!

I did this the other day with another couponing friend of mine. Donating stockpile surpluses is a great way rid yourself of too many body washes but if you have other couponing friends, you can help each other out buy getting together for some swapping! What you have too much of may be just what another friend needs and she may have something she can’t use that you can!
