spending

[Gerianne]

when you are buying something you use on a daily basis or close to it,
do you wait until you completely run out ane then order or buy a new supply
or buy a new supply when you are almost out of it?

Actually I try to stock up on it when it's on sale.

I agree, it's better to stock up on it when there's a sale going on.  For things you know you will need (households, personal items, etc.) it's better not to wait until you need it to get it, it's more consuming, cost/time efficient to already have it.

Depends what it is. certain things, I stockpile. Mainly things that have no expiration date - toilet paper, shampoo, etc. I never run out of that stuff, or even get close to it. Food, I typically buy by the week.

i don't usually stock up on things on sale because next week another store will have it on sale or the sale has to be really good.when i buy something i thibnk if i can get it at the 99cent store like watermelon had been 2.99 at a store but 99cent at the 99cent store and same size and just as good.

I usually stock pile. But if i can't stockpile it, i buy some of it before i ran out.

[laurindat]

If it's something I use daily I usually stock up ahead of time with a sale, as others have mentioned, if it's something necessary&generic like toilet paper or napkins or whatever. For things like shampoo and skincare products I usually get new ones when I'm close to running out instead of stocking up because there's always so many new types coming out, and I don't want to limit myself to the old ones if I stocked up on them.

[devilroljin]

Yeah it depends on what it is, if it is a daily used item, then it doesn't matter how much you have left, you tend to stock up if it is on sale. For other non daily items, if they are on sale as well, I try to stock up, but not as much, for I know I'm not gonna be needing that much so soon.

[Shandara09]

I don't stockpile because I have limited space, but I always buy things when they're about to run out.  I try to never let it get to the point of being completely out of anything.

Yes, that's the best way to do it. I'm always looking for sales and coupons. I generally have a stockpile of things I use frequently, except when there hasn't been a sale on the item for a long time, so my stockpile dwindles down.

[clickers]

I stockpile because it's more economical. I really dislike running out of things like dish washing liquid, toilet paper, body wash etc.

[BK_Adores_Chase]

almost out.  When I read this question I am thinking of cooking ingredients! 

[SweetApril74]

almost out for most stuff, but never same time

[patycake56]

i hate to run out of anything i try to keep enough on hand till the next time

[smarie62]

This is what I do I stock up on everything from personal items to household items at the beginning of the year or when I have been to spend so that way I never run out of anything but when I get down to 2 products I go out and buy extra products.
