Stockpiling and An Awesome Sale on Toilet paper!!!

Ok People!  A BIG part of coupon shopping is Stockpiling! When you find an amazing sale you are going to want to stock up! My stockpile shelf is full of toothpaste, shampoo, deodorant, body wash, razors, sunscreen, etc.  that I have gotten for pennies! I combined a sale and coupons and was able to get things we needed for close to FREE!  I can concentrate on spending my money on the more important (and expensive)  things and still keep a low budget! At first it will seem weird to buy 6 deodorants when you only need one - but when you are getting them for $.23 instead of $4 - think of all the money you will be saving!  Instead of running out to the store and paying full price when you run out, you can pull from your stockpile and save that money!  One rule to couponing is not to be brand loyal.  If you refuse to only use the most expensive shampoos, couponing may not be for you.  Now don't get me wrong, we rarely use anything generic in this house simply because there aren't a whole lot of coupons for generic items out there, but we do use whatever is on sale and whatever we have coupons for.  My stockpile of shampoo consists of  Pantene, John Frieda, Dove and Ulta brands! And there is about 3-4 of each...because that's how many coupons I had during that particular sale!   And if you do prefer the expensive shampoos, but don't really care about what kind of toilet paper you use, then you can get TP on the cheap and save the money for your pricey hair products!

Here is a great deal on TP - and TP is never on sale!  In fact, I bought some TP today and it was an ok deal, but now I'm kicking myself!

Amazon.com has 40 rolls of Charmin Basic double rolls on sale for $16.40!  AND if you sign up for the subscribe and save it drops to $13.94.  There is no obligation and you can cancel the subscribe and save anytime - just make sure you cancel it after you receive the TP otherwise they might cancel your order... but if you sign up for Amazon Prime for Moms and caregivers you can get it in 2 days with free shipping!

That's $.35 a roll.... your tushy will be thanking me and so will your wallet! 

Now the next time you run out of toilet paper  you can just "shop" your stockpile instead and then you can take the money you saved and buy yourself a treat for being so smart!


***if you happen to acquire too much stockpile - there are a lot of nursing homes, shelters and soldiers out there who would love to get a donated package!
