Are You A Brand Junkie?

I know, I know... We all have the specific brands that we love and just have to have. And then there are those particular brands that we just can't live without! So do we just sit around and wait for a sale AND a matching coupon for the items that just have to have and that we can't live without?! No! We build our stockpile with a variety of brands and products. Tell me if you have ever seen a stockpile that only has one brand....I'll wait!

The greatest thing about being a Savvy Saver is that we will find deals anywhere and everywhere that we go, even if that means buying a brand we typically don't use. Now this does not mean go out and buy a product that you will never use just because its on sale but if Target is having a sale on Cottonelle toilet paper and you prefer Charmin toilet paper, which isn't on sale, it wouldn't make sense to buy Charmin at full price when you have the chance to stock up on Cottonelle now. I mean, in my world, toilet paper is all the same... its all going to get flushed anyway! And I understand that every product that you use you may not be willing to compromise with, so take advantage of sales and stock up when you can (and don't forget those coupons).

Another advantage that we gain from not being a brand junkie is that once our stockpile is built enough so that we don't have to shop for 6 months or more, we then can become more selective in our brand choices and which sales that we shop. So focus on building a stockpile that your family can live from, rather than the specific brands or products that your family likes. Then move on to adding brand favorites. And after a month or two of not buying certain products because you have stockpiled them, you will definitely see a difference in your bank account!
