Example of Stockpiling

Today's shopping trip is a good example of stockpiling.  Remember, most items go on sale in a cycle.  So, staple items, you want to always grab plenty of those because you don't want to find yourself grabbing only 1 or 2 and then paying full price when you run out.  If you notice that you have an abundance and a sale is coming back around on the same item, you can always donate it to family, friends, or charity. 

At Winn-Dixie, I stocked up on toothpaste, rice, and barbeque sauce.  I ran out of sauce a long time ago and refused to by any at full price.  I'm so thankful to have some for only .10 a bottle.  At my Winn-Dixie, they didn't have the KC Masterpeice sauce, so the manager allowed me to substitute it for whatever sauce I wanted.  This doesn't always happen, but when it does, yippee!!
