What am I Stockpiling This Week?

Yesterday, I gave a small introduction to stockpiling basics. You can expect more of these money saving tips in upcoming posts. Some of you may be wondering what I am stockpiling this week. This week, I am stockpiling ground chuck.
Food Lion has their ground chuck on sale this week for only $1.69/lb. Normally, you would pay $3.50 or more per pound for ground chuck. You certainly don’t want to pay that price when you can stockpile it now on sale for later use. By the way, if you plan on heading out to Food Lion, you’ll want to check this Food Lion sale and coupon match-up from A Full Cup.
By the way, I am in desperate need of a freezer. I sold ours when we moved and I’m hoping to find a good deal on one before the ground chuck sale ends on Tuesday. If I have the freezer space, I plan to buy 15-20 lbs of the meat. A freezer is essential for stockpiling sales on meats and frozen foods.
Are you taking advantage of the Memorial Day sales?

I was actually on my way tomorrow to stockpile on their ground beef myself. Keep telling us what to stockpile each week. It would be a great saving series for you!
Thanks. A stockpiling series is a great idea!
Just thought you might like to know that my Sam’s Club offers further discounts if you buy by the case 80lbs – The 80/20 meat is $1.54/lb. The 90/10 meat is $1.81/lb. My MOMS Club girlfriends just split one 4 ways…great savings and stockpiling for us all.
Splitting up meat with friends is a great idea!
Hey, also at Food lion are boneless skinless chicken breast and tenders for sale at 1.89/pound. I bought about 15 pounds of chicken and hamburger each and am probably going back tomorrow for more stockpiling!!
I need to head to Food Lion today for the meat sale since today is the last day. Hopefully, the will be out of stock and I can get a raincheck for later.
I like rainchecks because I can save them for when I have a need for the item or for when I have room to store it.
