Stockpiling Vs. Hoarding
Stockpiling
Goal is to use coupons on sale items and stock up during that time.
How many people are in my family?
How much of this product does my family go through?
How much space do I have to totally commit to stockpiling?
Hoarding
Goal is to get as many products as you can regardless if you need them or not.
You have tons of something that you do not need but you continue to accumulate more.
Some stockpile prices will be different because some people like name brands
7
Things You Will Never Pay For Again…
Brand Name!
Toothpaste
Deodorant
Shampoo
Razors
Toothbrushes
Shave Cream
Dish Soap/Hand Soap
Baby Wipes
Condiments
Cleaning Supplies
Cat treats lol
Cereal
…or at least very little…

Plan With Coupons
Rules of Thumb:
You cannot stack manufacturer coupons anywhere
Many stores will not allow a coupon on the Free item in a BOGO sale
All stores have register line limits, keep it to a reasonable number of items per transaction or break the transaction up into multiple transactions.
Some stores have limits on the number of coupons in a transaction. Don’t be afraid to break up your purchases into smaller transactions to stay within the store’s coupon policy.
Essentially: KNOW YOUR STORE’S POLICY
How Many Coupons Can I Use?
“Stacking” is using multiple coupons on one item
Only ONE of each of the following is allowed:
Manufacturer’s Coupon
Store Coupon
Rebate (MIR)
These can be combined:
Smartphone app (such as Ibotta, Shopkick)
Credit Card Rewards
Additional Store Reward Program (Such as Target Cartwheel)
