Take it from ants that save food for the rainy
days. Even if the sun is high and the
weather forecast has no sign of rain or
thunderstorm, they continue to collect and
store food. In the same sense, you can choose
to start your own stockpile even when
there is no obvious and urgent need to do so.
Think of it as your contingency plan
when you run out of cash for shopping. Or,
simply create one because an opportunity
presents itself—tons of discount coupons.
As you may know, such vouchers allow you to buy
things at a lower price, but not
everything that may be included in your grocery
list. To avoid wasting a chance to
save on canned goods, flour, or sugar, buy them
using a grocery discount card and
then store them at an appropriate place.
How do you stay on top of the expiration date?
Simply follow the first-in first-out
system so you will consume the items that you
bought first. It is also important that
you keep an inventory of perishable goods to
avoid buying too many of the same
product, which you may be unable to use or eat
before they spoil.
You may want to familiarize the cycle of
grocery sales in your area as well, which is
similar to off-peak and on-peak season in
tourism. By knowing when products are sold
at the lowest price and then combining it with discount cards, you will be able to
save more and add more to your stockpile.
