I have been asked by several people to share how much I spend on stockpiling each week and what I usually buy. So, I thought I would share what I am planning on stockpiling and a few tips. I try to use only $10 of my $40 dollar a week budget for just this purpose.
Here are a few of my stockpiling tips:
- Look at the ads to see what the best deals of the week are.
- Take an inventory of what is on your shelves.
- Decide what items you could use for your stockpile.
- Shop the best deals, stocking up on items that you need that are Super Cheap.
My plan this week.
16 cans of Del Monte Vegetables – Use (2) $1/8 11/15 Red Plum insert-stack with (2)$1/6 = $Target coupon here = $4
4 cans Dole canned Fruit – used (4) $.50 printable HERE and here = Free!

What good ideas!
I also wanted you to know that Dole Foods created an online instant win game. Everyone who plays receives a printable coupon for Dole products.
There are also a bunch of other prizes you can win playing the game like a $10 grocery Visa card or a chance to win a trip for two to California and a 2-night stay at the Four Seasons Hotel Westlake Village along with a spa visit and wellness consultation.
If you don’t win at least it’s a fun way to grab a coupon!
You can check out the game (and receive your coupons) here: http://bit.ly/43JwLW
Is the grinder coupon the one that says $1 off any spice or extract?
Thanks..I like your $10 stockpile feature, I hope u do this weekly. If I am super busy it defines my must haves.
Holli, Yes that is the one. I used it tonight when I did my deals for the week.
I love this! It is very helpful.
Would it be a help if I highlighted the best deals each week? I have thought about doing it.
Yes, because then on busy weeks, you can concentrate on the best of the best.
