The logic behind stock piling

EXAMPLE-
your family eats 1 box of Frosted Flakes a week.
It costs you $3.99 every week.
You buy it on sale, with coupons for .50 a box.
Why not buy 8 boxes for the $4? You now have emough for 2 months at the same price.
Cereal usually has a long shelf life.  AND so do many other products.

You not only do this with cereal, but with everything.
Change your way of thinking. You don't buy for the week, you buy for the next year. Except meat and produce.
Make your own store at your house- when you run out of something, you can shop in your own house.
We did not have the space so we got rid of all the videos we no longer watched. That's where our stockpile is now.
Now when I need cereal-cake mix-frosting-salsa-soup-peanut butter-ragu-kidney beans-rice-breakfast bars-fruit snacks-shampoo-face wash-razors- toilet paper-paper towels ..ECT... I go to my own grocery store. Why pay full price when you can get it cheap or free?
