Here's another trip to R-A on son's card to a different store this week. I was looking for the Natural Power Mitchum so I could use my stacked Qs for it. I also found some 75% clearance items that I had Qs for and discount candy with .50¢ off stickers so I made a $15 transaction(for 2 of the Bonus Cash Challenges for this account).

I also earned $2 cash from Ibotta for buying the Vitamin E sticks.

I also went to Weis on Friday to get the freebie and the Friday deals.......
Friday deals-Lysol toilet bowl cleaner was .99¢ I used 4 .50¢/1 Qs that doubled to $1 so .04¢ in overage to apply to other items in my order.
The Keebler cookies are $1.97 this ad and I used 2 .75¢/1 Qs that doubled to $1.50 so each pack cost .47¢.
I also printed the .55¢/1 Little Debbie fudge brownie with English walnuts Q x 2 that was on coupons dotcom last week or so(it's NLA now). I found this variety at the Weis across the street from the R-A where I found the make-up clearance pictured above, and LD snacks are 3/$5 this week, so I got 2 boxes of brownies for $1.14 total OOP(.57¢ each).
The Pure Leaf was a clearance find(not marked on the shelf-I found out about it from a Weis Q group on FB)$1.49 per bottle for the Hibiscus Lemonade Tea variety. Between my store and the Weis in the town West of here let's just say I am well stocked on that now. lolz And no, I didn't clear them out.
I saw lots of panic buying on Thursday and Friday at various Weis stores while I was out. Crazy! People are not making fun of me for having a well stocked pantry now, are they? ;-)
It's always a good idea to keep extra food/paper goods as your extra cash allows.
You never know when your store supply chains will be disrupted.
Blizzards, tornadoes, hurricanes(where I grew up), earthquakes and now pandemics with a fear of being quarantined or having to self-isolate. These are all reasons to keep your wits about you but have a stockpile of whatever size works for you.
Do you keep a stockpile?
If you don't you should.

Yes, I do keep a stockpile. But, I did do panic shopping today...lol. I am going to post it right now.
ReplyDeleteIt's kind of hard to do a stockpile in my little space, but I do a small stockpile. Paper goods, dry goods and the basics.
ReplyDeleteI have tons of stuff at home but limited by car space while traveling. The stop over hotel came with two rolls of tp so you know one is leaving with me. 😁
ReplyDeleteJen G.
Having extras is usual, but all out stockpiling is not my norm. I guess going forward, I'll plan a case of some things to spare, but admiitedlt, I never thought store shelves would be completely wiped out of paper products.
ReplyDeleteI think being prepared in the things we use comes naturally to me as I had parents who grew up in the depression. My dad never bought one can of anything-he bought six! My mother always circled the expiration date and rotated the pantry as needed so nothing ever went to waste. We ate everything on our plates even if we hated it. Just the way it was in those days. Those days now taught me a valuable lesson in today's world. We don't hoard but are prepared & gladly can share to those who are without.

You now need to open a store in your neighborhood. Do you have a penny candy section? Do you sell donuts?
