20 Ways to Cut the Cost of Shopping - Tip #1

Stockpile!

By , About.com Guide

When you see an exceptional buy on something, go ahead and stockpile. Take for example, tube-socks that are marked down because the packaging is old or they are from the previous season. Often they will sell for $3.00 or less a dozen. Go ahead and buy 4-dozen. Do the math - you can get 48 pairs of socks for .25 cents a pair. Now that is a deal.
