Hi all,

this is an oldie but a goodie - stock up on non perishible items when they are on sale.

Any thing like cans, pasta sauce, pasta, rice, or cleaning products, toilet paper, nappies etc I will buy extras of if they are on special. Once I filled a trolley with topilet paper - didn't need to buy any more for months!

The trick with this one is to make sure that you still use the product at the same rate that you would normally. For this reason I avoid stocking up on things which we don't use all the time. I don't stock up on treats, because that wouldn't be stocking up, it would be buying more!

And remember - it's not a bargain if no one will eat it, no matter how cheap it is! My rule is, if I wouldn't normally buy it at full price, I don't buy it on special!
