Remember - Shop a Little, Save a Lot!
If you have the funds to do so, be sure to stock up on the items above while they are at their best prices...
Also, for items like canned goods, specific toiletries and pharmaceutical items, and so on, be sure to watch for coupons so you can save even more. Your bank account and your wallet (not to mention your sanity) will thank you!
If you live North of Miami, and have been here in this country this year, you'll recognize the value of stocking up and not having to schlep about for food and other items that are just as easy to store, and if you can get them at the rock bottom price, you can do so for incredibly little money.
I always try to have at least six months of food and toiletry items on hand at all times. That way if we are snowed in for a week or so, and the neighbors run out of something, I have more than enough for my own family, plus plenty to share.
I am a firm believer that many in this country could stand to learn what good neighbors and friends are really there for...
Be sure to take a look at your Christmas Notebook, so that you can spot if the perfect gift for next year is available during these sales!
By stocking up each month, and by purchasing your gifts when they are on sale, you can save hundreds of dollars a year - both in gifts and on regular food and household supplies. It also allows you to keep back a small fund for "fun" or "extra" gifts during the season when you'll pay more, even if these items are marked as being "on sale."
I do hope you enjoy shopping and saving a ton of money this February!
Please let me know if you find any phenomenal deals I haven't mentioned above! I'll add them to the list so that we can all enjoy this great shopping month!
Many Blessings!
