Save Every Cent



Saving every cent you can means stockpiles of your family’s favorite items. Most families will buy several core items over and over through the year. Buying when you have coupons and the item is on sale will save you more than 50% on those items.

Yet, the term Stockpile scares some shoppers. They envision mass amounts of items that they will not use. They start to cringe at the thought of storing food and consumables on the dining room table.

Stockpiling can be easy and any shopper can do it. Just follow some simple steps.

  1. Make a list of 25 items you use regularly. These are the core of your 200 items you purchase per year. Focus on those items as being you biggest savers. NOTE: list the items USED not Purchased.
  2. Find a place. You already have some space to stockpile now. The backs of your cabinets: Learn to stack your cans and jars 2-3 high and in lines in the cabinets. Most cabinets are too deep to see everything inside, this way you can store longer term deals to the back-yet still see if over the tops of other items.
  3. Who says food has to be in the kitchen? Especially canned goods, and jars. I had a cabinet in the bathroom with nothing inside. Perfect for some stockpiled items. Also look at closets, under beds, and anyplace you can put a seal tight plastic storage container.
  4. Clean out your impulse buys, that are collecting dust. We all get them,. Time to move them out of the cabinets, and to someone who can use them.
  5. Balance your list. If you list has all snack foods, you may need to re evaluate the list. You’ll need a well balanced stockpile should you want to make complete meals at any time with your goods.
Most foods will keep easily for a year. Even Cereal. If you start saving 50% on all items, it will stack up the savings.
