Stock-up Price List

In order to be really successful at saving money by stacking coupons with sales and rebates, you'll need to follow these rules:


1. Do NOT be brand specific...I buy whatever the best deal is (although I do consider quality)

2. Look at price per unit. Many times it is a much better deal to buy several smaller packages than it is to buy one large package, especially when you can use multiple coupons!

3. STOCKPILE ~ when prices are rock bottom, buy what your family will need for 6-8 weeks(sales rotate about every 6 weeks)

Many of you have asked when to stock-up on items, so I've been working on a list of my general stock-up prices. Prices vary by region, so you may be able to get better prices than me. All the prices listed are the maximum price I would consider a stock-up price.
