Many people think with couponing you have to buy things that you don't want and don't need. FALSE.
Only clip coupons and buy what you are going to use! We aren't hoarders!
Tip: I would suggest saving all coupons just in case one ends up being a money maker and earning you money. So earn the money and then give the product to someone who will use it!
Why Build a Stockpile
We build a stockpile by buying items at rock bottom deals so that when we need it we won't have to pay full price. By doing this you will end up saving tons of money!
As college students this can be hard to do, but if you know you are going to be in Rexburg for 2 semesters then you know you need at least a 3-5 month supply of stuff. That means when cereal originally is $4 is on sale and you have a coupon for it and will only pay $0.50 for a box, buy enough to last you till the end of the semester!
hahah your roommates might think you are a tad crazy if you have cereal under your bed, but hey you spent $5 on 10 boxes and saved $35! Now you can spend that $35 on maybe going out with friends, guys could take a girl on a date ;), or graduating college debt free!
Honestly is a cheap way to build food storage just like we have been counseled and now that we are out of our parents house we need to have our own food storage. I know there have been a couple hard months here and there where my husband and I have lived off of our food storage which was such a blessing.
When to Stock Up?
* When we see a good deal we will want to stock up for a 1- 3 months
* When there is a rock bottom deal we want to stock up for 4+ months (7+ months if you can) cause who knows when That sale is coming back!
In Rexburg food is more expensive, lets face it there isn't a lot of competition with grocery stores there. But when I see a good sale I'll let you know!
$ = Good deal, stock up for 1-3 months
$$ = Awesome deal stock up 4+ months
There are many sites that list ALL the sales of EVERY store. I'm not going to do that, I will just list some really good ones in Rexburg. So if you're interested in more you can go to:
