Stockpile Cleaning Supplies When You Find a Great Deal

Whether you’re stocking up to save money, or just want to make sure your family has everything on hand that you need, creating a stockpile can be an excellent way to save money on non-perishable items when you find a great deal. Stocking up on items when they are free or on sale can allow you to wait until there is another opportunity to save instead of paying full price. While current concerns over the flu and other viruses may tempt you to panic buy, make sure you don’t stockpile out of fear and avoid paying inflated prices where demand is high. Be sure to check out our 5 reasons to build a stockpile.

Buy in Bulk

Depending on the price or product, buying in bulk and shopping at warehouse stores like Sam’s Club or Costco can be cheaper, especially when you’re purchasing stock-up quantities. Keep in mind any membership fees before joining and be sure to calculate the individual unit price to make sure the bulk quantity is the best deal.

Consider Reusable Cleaning Supplies

While disposable cleaning wipes, mop heads, and paper towels are convenient, they can also be more costly. Reusable and multi-use items can be a bit more expensive to initially purchase but can pay for themselves in the long run. Just make sure that you clean and sanitize regularly and replace the items when needed.
