But you can look back at your purchases over the last few months and see what you bought a lot of, this will tell you what products you should really stock up on when it’s on sale.Ī good example from my family is we love Duke’s Mayonnaise, it’s the only mayonnaise I will buy. This is different for everyone, I can’t honestly tell you how many of what your family may need. How do I know what amount is right for my family? This ensures you won’t wipe off all the products and still allows you to buy as many as you need. You can purchase up to 5 of each product and still be stocked for a decent while depending on the size of your family and how much of each product you may use.Īnd if it’s certain product you use a lot you can make a larger purchase, I always recommend stopping at two stores to do this or hitting the store once at the beginning of the sale and once at the end. No, this would cause shelf clearing which is a big no no for most couponers. You will find by buying a decent amount of sale products you can build your stockpile up rather quickly. I have never overbought or wiped out a store and trust me, my stockpile is well stocked and my family and I are well taken care of. ![]() Otherwise you run into the issue of products expiring before you’re able to actually use them.Ī decent stockpile can be built in just a few months, this going off the basis that you buy moderately and don’t “clear the shelves” by buying 20 of each product. Keep in mind that deals/sales rotate every few months so you do not need to put up for 5yrs worth of products, just enough until the item/deal is on sale again. How long does it take to build a stockpile? This saves money in the long run and is the reason most couponers start a stockpile. So when you run out of one bottle you have another on hand instead of going out and paying full price. For instance, if you use body wash and it’s on sale for free or $.50 cents you want to buy enough to last your family until the next sale. one held in reserve for use at a time of shortage or other emergency.Ī stockpile is based off of one principal, buy while the price is good so you save money later. The exact definition of Stockpile is A large accumulated stock of goods or materials, esp. This is what most would call “extreme” and rightfully so. Let’s face it, your child doesn’t want a bunch of toilet paper and 2 Liter drinks stuck under their bed and your spouse doesn’t want boxes and boxes of products shoved in your closet. ![]() Those are not normal stockpiles… those are not stockpiles most normal families need in their homes. When some people think of a stockpile they tend to think a basement full of shelves and products that grossly resembles a super market or they think of products shoved under children’s bed, in the master closet, etc etc. ![]()
