While we’re on the topic of what’s on sale, how do you actually go about building your grocery stockpile? Here’s a quick example of what I do. (Lots of links ahead — they mostly link to tutorial posts if you need more info.)
- When Meijer has a sale on Ortega, I know it’s time to stock up because everything will be under 25¢. I take advantage of the sale by stacking the Meijer Mealbox coupons with manufacturer coupons.
- You’ll need more coupons than you normally purchase. I order from The Coupon Clippers or from eBay. *Note: if you order from eBay, be sure to use Ebates for 2% cash back.
- Order your coupons by Monday or Tuesday so you can shop before the sale ends on Saturday!
I’ll be doing this again this week to stock up on the 45¢ Kraft Salad Dressing before the Meijer Mealbox coupon expires on 6/11/10. PS please don’t tell my trainer those Reese’s Dark are in my freezer. Thanks
What are your tips and tricks for building your grocery stockpile? How do you get more coupons? Do you keep a 6 month supply of staple items on hand? A year’s supply?
