Stockpiling Series: Part 3

Welcome back to how to build your stockpile.  If you’re just now joining us be sure to check out stockpiling series Part 1: Organization and Part 2: Calculating your stockpile need.

In Part 3 we’ll be waiting for the perfect sale to increase our stockpile.

In part 2 example we’ve calculated that we need to grab 12 toothbrushes to get us through the next sales cycle.

You don’t need to coupon in order to increase your stockpile, you just need to wait for the store to put the item on sale at their rock bottom price.  However if you have coupons to apply to the rock bottom price, you’re savings will be even more significant.

We’ll be assuming that all of us are couponers in my next example.

Let’s say, their is a sale on Colgate toothbrushes 10/$10.00, normally priced at $2.29 each.  By waiting for the sale I’ve already save $1.29, but now I want to further my savings to see if any coupons are available on this product.  So I’ll check the printable coupons.  Wahoo! I find $0.75/1 coupons are available for this product.  Which makes the final cost $0.25 each.  If I purchase all of these with a coupon it’ll cost me $3.00 for all 12!  Which is amazing since one at regular price was $2.29.

As I said earlier you don’t have to coupon to save.  The regular price would have been $27.48 if you bought all of these one at time when you needed it, not on sale.  Buying them on sale would cost you $12.00, saving you $15.48, but if you coupon, it would cost you $3.00 see how couponing pays off?

Having multiple coupons is key to this, join me tomorrow for Part 4:  Getting multiple coupons.
