Stockpiling 101: Week 5–I have $10, what do I buy?

Posted by Little Miss Know it All

Its a quiet week, but these two small deals are definitely worth the time!

Both are at Walgreens this week. Band Aids, boxes of 30 or 40 (they’re marked) are only .99. (normally $1.99) There is a coupon for $1 off any Band Aid from a recent Sunday paper. This makes them free! Reynolds Wrap, 20 ft rolls, are $.89 with a Walgreens coupon. (Get the coupon in store in the weekly ad) There are coupons available online (via ebay, couponclippers or more) for $1.50 off two, making them only $.14 a roll!

I’d buy:

20 boxes of Band Aids–Free!

20 boxes of Reynolds Wrap–$4

That leaves you $6 to stock up on milk or meat for your freezer. Buy a gallon or two of milk, or a couple pounds of meat, and freeze it for a later date!

Couple of quick notes for regular readers. LMKIA will be in the Cincinnati Enquirer this Wednesday, in the Life section, talking about coupons and stockpiling! Also, I will be offering a class in couponing and savings techniques. The class will be June 29th at 3 pm, at the Vineyard Church in Florence. The cost is $10. I’ll have more details soon!

Great article in the paper - even better comments on politics in your blog!

I am heading over to Wags this evening. My dilema is that I only have one $1 off q for the Bandaids, but several for $0.75 off. I guess Bandaids for $.24 is still a pretty good deal. Then, I can’t find the other $1.50 off Reynolds Wrap, but I am still looking. I can’t wait to come and “absorb your greatness” at the end of the month!!! Thanks!

How do you get coupons in time if you order them from ebay or something? won’t the sale be over by the time you get them?

If you watch Cincymoms, you will often know the sales a few days before–say, Thursday of the week before the sale. But even if you don’t get the deals until Sunday morning, if you order them on Sunday/Monday, you should have them by Thursday/Friday, in time to shop.

Quick wave from Disney World, where its hotter than hades….

I have been looking around CincyMoms and I have had no luck finding any of your blogs or coupon and sale information. Hoping somone can give me a little direction! Thanks!

This is my blog, and I post deals here on Stockpiling. On Cincymoms, go to Shopping and Deals I’ve found or Grocery and Drugstores. They will be there!
