Many times with super hot deals I buy 10,20, 30 of a product. One thing that helps get the product into my cart, and then into the car and then the house- is the displays at the store.
When I buy multiple taco seasonings ,for example- I ask the store if I can have the cardboard box they are displayed on the shelf in. Of course, I only take it if the ones I am buying are the last ones in that container and I aim to never clear a shelf. But many times there are 2 or more of these on the shelf and often some behind those!
When I stocked up on canned goods during the Food Lion Sale a few weeks ago – I asked the store to bring me ones that were still wrapped in the cardboard boxes. This way I had the boxes that allowed them to stack nicely. It also kept them from having to restock the shelf.
I wouldn’t remove items just to take the display or leave items strewn about- but I plan to buy a lot of Powerade next week- so I will be asking them to allow me to buy the ones still wrapped together. This allows me to transport them easier as well as to store them more orderly!
I’d love to hear your thrifty organizational tips!
Is there a heads up list on your website? I don’t see a button to click.
Can you be more specific…heads up for specific stores? All my heads up are categorized under each store.
I also ask for boxes store loves me taking empty boxes so stockers don’t have to bother with them! I also fell in love with the over the door shoe organizers to put everything from seasoning packets to spices small snacks in kitchen to sons room has hot wheels and xbox games:)
I thought of this idea last week. Using emptied coffee creamer bottles as a pen storage and dispenser. I also use one for my flour dispenser.
I’m confused… I thought most stores only take 3 or 4 of a like coupon and only 20/day…? So how can u purchase 10, 20, 30 of an item?
It’s not always purchased in one trip or if the coupon doesn’t double there may not be a limit – Walmart doesn’t limit coupons
So, for ex: at HT: if I have coupons that are $1+ off that don’t double that doesn’t count toward the 3-like coupon max? And at HT is the 20 max per day TOTAL coupons whether doubling or not?
If the coupons do not double the only restriction is any on the coupon itself. You could use 20 of them. The only max is 20 DOUBLED or 2 of the same internet coupons.
