Stockpiling…
In the couponing world, the term stockpiling is used to refer to stocking up on products that are free or nearly free after coupons/sales. In a relatively short period of time, you can stock your pantry with 3-12 months worth of nonperishables and eliminate them from your grocery budget. This is how the most savings is realized because by doing this, you eliminate buying out of necessity – which is when you pay the most! The goal is to have enough on hand to get you through to the next rock bottom pricing, thus NEVER paying retail – or anything close to it!
For example: if you have a stockpile of shampoo, you’ll be able to wait three months until it’s at its rock bottom price before buying more. In contrast, if you’re out of shampoo, you’ll gladly pay the shelf price for it, sale or not.
