FabSwingers.com forum: Extreme couponing

There’s a programme on one of the satellite channels called extreme couponing where, in America, they use coupons from papers not only to get really cheap shopping but to bulk buy. Most store it in a spare room, garage, shed etc.

Do you think once this all calms down you will be more minded to keep a store of non perishable or items with long use by dates like rice and pasta and tins and jars in case this or anything else comes back?

If so what would your top 3 items be?

Mine

Pasta

Toilet roll

Soap

No, because after the initial unnecessary panic, I’ve been able to find pretty much everything I’ve needed.

We do this anyway for offers, so we have a household budget per month but If something is on a good deal that we use like washing powder, well bulk buy it & store in the garage , biz or savings will loan the house the cash and house pay back the amount per month used of the item as normal, in effect buying sine items from stock. That way you always max the sales and stay within in budget

Just common sense !
