In terms of couponing, you may ask, "What is stockpiling?" To tell you the truth, stockpiling refers to purchasing more than what you really need for that particular moment. This is usually done when the prices are ridiculously low--this way, you will not pay the full price. Stockpiling is a great plan of your budgeting plan in terms of keeping some money.
Here are a few suggestions for stockpiling your coupons:
- Purchase more than one Sunday newspaper: In other words, you will need to combine quite a few coupons, either from collecting from a stack of Sunday newspapers, or just randomly collecting them. This is one way of starting up your stockpiling coupons.
- Look out for sales: Sales are your friend! Products generally goes on save at least every eight weeks. For example, if you were to purchase something within an eight week period, then you will have plenty of stuff to last until it goes on sale the next sales cycle.
- Pay attention to expiration dates: Paying attention to expiration dates is a must-do! Your must put your new purchased items in front and the older ones in the back.
- Last, but not least--do not overdo it!: Many people will take things to the extreme--even when it comes to couponing! Only purchase the things with coupons that you want. Some people will even buy impulsively with coupons because it is a discount. This means do not buy forty boxes of cereal when in reality you do not eat cereal. Some people may think that it is a smart idea to do--it is a waste of energy, time, more importantly--your money!
