Don't Stock it if you Ain't gonna use it!

Cherry Picking Shopping

Cherry Picking 101

What is it?
 It means after you have your Stockpile started
 and you are USING it NOT HOARDING it away just to say...Hey look at my Stockpile..{wink wink}

See what you need for your Menu Plan?

What would you like to add if money allows you to?

When you go and do your shopping list You now will be looking at the different stores in your area to get what you have a coupon for and/or is on sale {Watch the sales sometimes its not better}

Look at your pricebook is it a good deal?
{ if you don't have one start one}

Now let's go "Cherry Picking" get those couple of items that you need
I am lucky that I have a town near me that has all the stores right across the way from each other so this works for me it might not for you but just wanted to give you an idea on how I save on my Groceries....
I have looked at next weeks flyers and looked at my Stockpile
 and I don't see anything I will need so next week no shopping....
except a Wacky Wednesday Sale today
Bread is .69 each gonna go stock up on that ....{hopefully}
