Tip # 5: Begin creating your stockpile

In order to get the most "bang for your buck" you have to watch the grocery store ads and see which items are at their lowest prices. When you use a coupon with this low-price item, you can get it really cheap!

At this point, you would want to stock-up on the item. Now, you only need to buy enough to last you 6-8 weeks, 10 weeks at the most. Grocery store items are typically on a sale every 6-8 weeks.

On the blog I follow, SouthernSavers.com, the writer will tell you which items are great stockpile items!

After a while, you'll have a nice stockpile of meats, groceries, toiletries, and cleaning products as well. I can tell you that I will never have to pay full price for things like detergent, toothpaste, and deodorant.

If any of you watched Extreme Couponing last week on TLC, you do not need to buy 70 bottles of mustard just because you can get it for .39 cents a bottle. Seriously, how much mustard will you go through in 10 weeks?
