Buying When You Run Out of Something
There’s a good chance you’ll pay more than necessary if you wait until you run out of items to replenish your supply. When you run out of something, there’s a good chance that what you need will not be on sale, Gault said.
Grocery sales run in cycles, so you’ll likely find most items you need are discounted at some point each month. “By stocking up on sale items that you regularly use, you should rarely be forced to pay full price,” she said. According to Gault, the best sales are when items are marked down at least 50%.
