![]() Some weeks you’ll come home with a huge selection of food. In order to maximize your savings each week, you need to buy almost exclusively what is on sale. It is sort-of like your own personal Supercenter right in your own home. What is a stockpile?įor couponing purposes, a stockpile is your personal collection of food, toiletries, drugstore items, and other household items that have been purchased at their ROCK BOTTOM prices and then stored until needed. ![]() Extreme couponing without a stockpile just doesn’t work. Thank you so much for sticking with me during this couponing series! I know you’re all well on your way to being savvy coupon shoppers using the info I’ve given you over the last 2 months.My husband makes fun of me sometimes because I use the word “stockpile” so often.īut I can’t emphasize enough the importance of having a well-stocked pantry for successful couponing. But if I buy as many bottles as I can com and let me know what’s holding you back. Chances are when I go back to the store in a couple months it’s not free anymore and I’d have to pay for it. That would last my family a couple months and then we’d need more. Imagine if I had gone to the store and only bought one or two bottles of body wash, shampoo, and conditioner when it was completely free. Nice, right? I haven’t paid more than $10 for this entire closet full of stuff from deodorant to hand soap to feminine products and we haven’t run out of shampoo or conditioner or been forced to run into the Dollar Store for body wash because we were out since I started couponing in January. But first, here’s a photo of my toiletries stockpile. In this post I’m going to convince you that maintaining a stockpile is a good idea because, in the long run, it saves you even more money. ![]() Unless you’re the lady I saw on TLC that had several year’s worth of diapers and no kids. I promise that this does not make you a hoarder. What every single couponer should and can do is maintain a stockpile. 50% savings is huge! And noteworthy! And you should mentally high five yourself when you save 50% at the grocery store! Or be a cool kid like me and actually high five yourself. Plus, just going into the store with the mindset that you can walk out with hundreds of dollars worth of products for pennies regularly will set you up for failure. And magically all go on break when you headed towards checkout. They’d probably roll their eyes at you every single time you walked in the door. Could you imagine going into your local grocery store and asking to do that all in one day at one time? Yeah, me neither. In one episode I saw a woman do over 15 different transactions so she could buy $800 worth of product for less than $50. Most stores have policies that don’t allow you to buy $1,000 worth of product for pennies in a single shopping trip. But that is the last time I will use them as an example because those people are crazy and are not an accurate representation of a “regular” extreme couponer. If you’ve ever watched TLC’s Extreme Couponing or just flipped past it while channel surfing then you know that every single one of them has a stockpile. If you’re new to the series or missed a post or two jump over and catch up! Then come back and join us. I can’t believe that this is the last post in my Couponing for Beginners Series! We’ve covered a lot of information in the series so far, from getting started to how to organize to how to make the most of money saving apps. Why buy for a few months when you can buy for a year and save hundreds! ![]() Maintaining a stockpile saves your family even more money in the long run. ![]()
