These are a few tips to get you started:
How to create a stockpile of food and household items.
1. Identify the items you would like to stockpile
Examples are toothpaste, toilet paper, paper towels, deodorant, laundry detergent, facial tissue, shampoo, conditioner, razors, frozen foods, canned foods
2. How much do you need of each item
Keep at least the minimum amount to have until the next good sale comes around. The stores usually cycle every 8 to 12 weeks.
3. Buy at lowest price with coupons
Make sure to combine the sale price with a coupon to get the best possible price then keep track of the price that you paid in your price book.
4. Organization and Storage
Be creative; think outside of the box…like under the bed or the top shelf of the closet
5. Keep your stock rotated
Make sure you use the FIFO (first in first out) method – watch expiration dates.
