3.0 STOCK UP AND STOCKPILE - BUY ON-SALE, AT DISCOUNTS WAREHOUSES AND SPECIALTY STORES

Save an extra 40% on non-perishable items.

==Average Discount = $400

Save time and money by stocking up and stockpiling: time, because you'll buy less during your regular weekly shopping and won't have to rush to the convenience store when you're out of something; money, because you'll buy goods at the best possible price. But there is an art to it.

TIPS:

==Estimate how much you will use. If you own a freezer, include things you can freeze.

==Just buy 2-3 months worth at one time; don't go overboard and buy a year's worth.

==Have a general list of stores or sales that you follow. For example, a warehouse store 30 miles away may be worth a trip every couple of months.

==Sales typically repeat. I stock up on bath soap when it goes on sale periodically.

==Setting up a stockpiling system will take you some additional time at the beginning since you must change your shopping habits.
