Dental floss - As long as those $1/1 Reach coupons keep resetting and Target keeps charging $.97 for its white box of Reach dental floss, I think it’s fair to say that I’ll never pay so much as a penny for dental floss again.ġ5. I donated 9 bottles last year and held on to the rest. Walgreens paid ME $5 for every three bottles I “bought”. Cough syrup – One of the first deals I ever did was Robitussin cough syrup. I haven’t bought deodorant in well over a year, and we still have at least six a piece in the basement store room.ġ3. Deodorant – There was a time that CVS was very good to me and my need to not-stink-up-the-place. But it’s more than adequate for printing out my coupons!ġ2. Is it the highest weight paper in the world? Nah. Printer paper – Thanks to Office Depot, Office Max and Staples, I enjoy a steady supply of free-after-reward-program paper. Bic and I are all stocked up, thank you.ġ1. Pens & Pencils – Remember all those back-to-school deals? Now when my mom tries to bring me free pens from conferences she attends, I hand them back to her. Thank you Babies R Us clearance sale + coupons + Seventh Gen rebate!ĩ. I’m down to just 10 boxes, but at one time I had 18. Dish Washer Detergent – I’ve told you before that I don’t buy exclusively organic, but you wouldn’t know it from my stockpile of Seventh Generation dishwasher tabs. But then I got wind of the $.69 deal at Target on Seventh Generation and decided to make up with Mother Earth for my eco-hating purchases of new razors.Ĩ. Dish Soap – I used to stockpile Dawn, since it is so often free with the $1/1 coupon in the Homemade Simple home mailer. Despite it going against every Earth-loving bone in body, I refuse to fall for their trap! When my blades need replacing, I just grab another free razor from my stockpile.ħ. Razors – Manufacturers love to put their razors on sale, and then charge a fortune for replacement blades. Shampoo & Conditioner – Thanks to CVS and Walgreens, we enjoy high-end drug store brands, including organic ones, for free or less than $1/bottle.Ħ. Body Wash - Again, as long as you aren’t brand loyal (the kiss of death to a couponer), free body wash should never be a problem.ĥ. Toothbrushes – We’re not brand loyal, and we use the old fashioned manual kind, but even still, our supply of free or $.50 toothbrushes is pretty staggering.Ĥ. If you don’t have a stockpile, just watch my weekly CVS post (I post it Motzei Shabbat) and you should be able to accumulate your own little stash.ģ. Toothpaste – I haven’t bought toothpaste in well over 6 months and I still have 10 or more tubes in my basement. In fact, I’d be hard pressed to imagine every paying more than $1 for a box of cereal at this point.Ģ. Cereal – Seriously, if nothing else, this blog has hopefully proven that cereal doesn’t have to cost $3.50 a box. One of the ways I compensate for the more expensive items on my shopping list - like $4.99/lb ground beef - is by stocking up on other items when they are at their rock bottom price, or better yet, free! (Of course, we limit our consumption of the expensive stuff, too.)Īfter two years of couponing and stockpiling, I can confidently say that I’ll never pay retail again for….ġ. And when you keep kosher, well, it’s even harder. It's really nice to be able to order baby supplies and have them come right to your house.It’s not always easy to find bargains on your groceries and household items. If you want to stockpile something, I would save up Amazon gift cards. In the past I have searched for sales/clipped coupons but I am finding that Amazon (with the 20% off) is usually the same price or better than the sales and coupons that I was finding. If you use Subscribe and Save you get 20% off your diapers. The hospital will most likely send you home with a lot of diapers (usually Pampers Swaddlers.) I have found that subscribe and save is the best deal out there and would definitely recommend getting them that way. It really does depend on the baby's shape and size which brand will work best (I've had 4 babies and different diapers worked better at different times for each of them.) I would buy a small to medium package of Pampers Swaddlers and Huggies Snugglers in Newborn size and try them out for the first week before getting more. I would stay away from stockpiling too many only because you don't know which diapers will work for your babies.
