Alright you kids, my husband's work has just begun a 2-3 week shut down. We will of course collect unemployment during this twice yearly maintenance break, but I will have to be a little more creative than usual as we have regular bills to pay plus the hubs is getting his wisdom teeth out and we need to get the wood to make our kitchen cupboard doors. Because of this situation, I am going to be doing some amazing things in these next couple weeks and would challenge all of you to see if you can beat me!
Here's the plan: Pay 10% or less of retail!!! How much can you get, that you actually use, at this value?!?! I recommend going through your coupons and making the most of them on Tuesdays at Walmart and also stacking them with either Target coupons or stacking and mixing with Rite Aid or Walgreen's rewards. IT CAN BE DONE!!!
And since you should hopefully have built up a reasonable stockpile by now, you should be okay for just a couple of weeks with ONLY buying things that you can get for 10% or less!! Shopping your stockpile is good to do now and then because a. it rotates your stock to avoid expiration and waste, and b. it gives you an idea of what your family will actually use in a tight spot and if you have been stocking up the appropriate amounts of staples to sustain you through a crisis.
After this little shut down, I will go back into major stockpile building mode and will of course shower you all with tips and ideas for doing that effectively.
So..... can you do better than me?!?! I'd love to hear of your adventures, scores and hauls for 10% of retail or less!
Happy Couponing!!!
