Stockpiling= Money In My Pocket!

Do you stockpile? If not you should. Wondering what stockpiling is? Well, it's when you stock up on items you use regularly when they are at their lowest price aka rock bottom price.

Stockpiling is a major part of my savings. You see if I stock up when items are at rock bottom pricing I'm saving by not having to buy it later at a much higher price. Thus leaving more moolah in my pocket! That's the way I like it. Uh-huh, uh-huh! I know, the light just calls my name sometimes. Back to it...

For instance this week I've stockpiled cereal and fruit snacks. Right now Randalls has an awesome deal on the Betty Crocker fruit snacks and they had a great deal on the Kellogg's cereal too. The timing on this is perfect as we had no more snacks left and only a few boxes of cereal. Seeing how I had to replenish my stockpile I bought 17 boxes of snacks and 23 boxes of cereal! No, that's not a typo. *wink* Don't worry there was tons left!

Best of all I added it ALL to my stockpile for FREE. Yep, FREE!! Can I get a what, what? I know I have issues, bear with me.

Onto the how of this fantabulous deal:

Best of all my out of pocket expense was ONLY 98¢! Woot! I love when I can stock up without making a huge dent in my allotted grocery money.

Stockpiling snacks and cereal may not work for your family and that's okay. We all have different needs and wants. However whether your stockpiling snacks or canned vegetables the benefits of stockpiling is still the same.

I hope I've given you a better understanding of stockpiling and have encouraged you to start your very own stockpile. I mean cause who doesn't want more money in their pocket?
