An Example of How I Stockpile to Save Money!

March 8, 2010

How do you Stockpile?

I have received several emails from readers wanting to know how I save the most. There are many methods, but the one way I would say accounts for about 75% of my savings is stockpiling!

What is Stockpiling?

Stockpiling is when you literally stock-up on items that you use the most of when they are at a rock bottom price! Since fruit snacks are something I often stockpile and I got such an awesome deal on them this week at Albertsons, I wanted to share with an example of exactly how I do this.

Ok, so this week at Albertsons I knew I could get fruit snacks for $.10 ea. I live in Southern California, so I don’t know if this is regional, but even so, it is a great example to use on how I stockpile. Since I knew I could get fruit snacks for $.10 ea., I bought 15 boxes!! YES 15 BOXES! I told you my husband laughs at me when I do this! Here is how I did it:

All in ONE trip to the grocery store!

*Each of the coupons in the transactions below are from different locations that you can still print, so if you want to do this sale yourself, you can. You have until tomorrow, Tuesday, March 9, 2010!

Transaction #1:
Buy 5 Boxes of Betty Crocker Fruit Snacks: $1.00 ea.
Use 2 $.50 Betty Crocker Fruit Snacks Printable Coupon
Pay: $4.00
Receive $3.50 Catalina Coupon
Final Price: $.10 ea.

Transaction #2
Buy 5 Boxes of Betty Crocker Fruit Snacks: $1.00 ea.
Use 2 $.50 Betty Crocker Fruit Snacks Printable Coupon
Use $3.50 Catalina Coupon from the 1st transaction
Pay: $.50
Final Price: $.10 ea.

Transaction #3:
Buy 5 Boxes of Betty Crocker Fruit Snacks: $1.00 ea.
Use 2 $.50 Betty Crocker Fruit Snacks Printable Coupon
Use $3.50 Catalina Coupon from the 2nd transaction
Pay: $.50
Final Price: $.10 ea.

So, basically I ended up paying $5.00 out of my pocket, but I have a $3.50 catalina coupon still that I can use on anthing :) So, I bet you are wondering how I store these…. I remove all of them from the boxes and store them in zip loc bags because they take up less room than all those boxes you see above. I put them in my stockpile cabinet and there you go.

The key to stockpiling is to choose the things you use the most of that can be stored and have a long shelf life. So, for me those things would be toilet paper, paper towels, laundry soap, toothpaste, shampoo, conditioner, lotion, cereal, granola bars, fruit snacks, condiments, bread, cheese, chicken, and ground turkey. I may be missing something, but you get the idea. I have a whole series that I am working on right now for next month where I will walk you through my whole thought process on stockpiling, breaking down my categories, and I am even going to take you inside my stockpile cabinet….CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT?! I warn you though….it’s kinda scary :) LOL….

What is a Catalina Coupon?

March 8, 2010

What is a Catalina Coupon?

A Catalina is a coupon that prints out at the cash register from a machine (like the one you see pictured above) because you have purchased things that are included in a promotion that either the store or manufacturer is offering on a particular item.

Here are some facts you may need to know about Catalina Coupons:

  • Catalina coupons are generally manufacturer coupons.
  • Catalina coupons most often can only be redeemed at the store you received them at. Although there are some stores that accept competitors coupons and will take them, so that is something you need to ask your individual store.
  • Usually you can use a Catalina coupon towards anything on your next purchase, but sometimes a Catalina will specifically state it is for a particular product only.
  • Catalina coupons have an expiration date like any other regular coupon, so don’t forget to redeem it.

What if your Catalina coupon did not print?

You can call: Catalina Category Marketing: (888) 926-8766 or (888) 322-3814
or contact the Catalina Category Marketing Company via email.
