If your New Year's Resolution is to save money, then starting a stockpile can be the way to start saving big! There are many reasons to keeping a stockpile.....
- To Save Money
- To Have Food & Items In Case Of Natural Disasters
- To Have Food & Items In Case of Job Loss or Family Emergency
- To Shop Less & Save Money on Gas (driving back and forth to the store)
- To Just Be Prepared For Anything
- Create a Master List of Products you need and use
- Create a Price List to know how much you have paid for items in the past- this will help to know when to stock up
- Stockpile items when they are 75% or more off regular price
- Buy more than what you need now
- Keep enough products on hand for you and your family for 3-4 months
- Watch Sale Cycles- products, for the most part, go on sale every 10-12 weeks
- Keep your stockpile organized- rotate and date your stockpile
- Clear out a space for your stockpile
- Store items properly so they do not go bad before you use them
- Shop sales and match them up with coupons to get the best deals
- Be willing to switch brands
- Be willing to shop multiple stores to get the best deals
- Be Patient- it does take time to build a stockpile
