The
Couponing 101 series continues with a foundational definition when it comes to
couponing—the stockpile. What is a stockpile, you ask?
A stockpile is having multiples of each product you use. BUT, you get the multiples when there is a really good deal. For example, instead of buying shaving cream every time you need it, you stock up (i.e., get multiples) when it is on sale and you have a coupon.
Last year,
there was a $6 off of 3 Gillette shaving creams coupon. Gillette shaving creams
are $2 each at Target. Total score! I went to a local library and got a bunch
of these coupons and stocked up—I ended up getting dozens of shaving creams for
free!! It was couponing heaven. I saved a bunch for me and my husband, gave
some to my friends and then donated the rest to a shelter.
Since I
stockpiled the shaving cream, we haven’t had to purchase it in months. Now I
can wait for another spectacular sale to come around again before getting
shaving cream.
The take
home message is: Stockpile when you can get a really good deal on a product,
then you’ll never have to pay full price for an item because you can wait for
the next time a deal comes around.
Happy Couponing!
