How to build your grocery supply on budget?
We like to build our grocery supply throughout the year. We shop sales and stock up on vegetables in summer, eggs in spring, chicken in summer and pork in fall. We build the remaining of our grocery supply (non-food and shelf stable foods that don’t go on sale) in winter. However, we didn’t save enough from the grocery budget last year to stock of on our main grocery staples in winter. We usually purchased enough toilet paper for the year but didn’t do it at the end of 2019. We have 1 month and half worth of toilet paper left. We purchased 2 boxes at Sam’s club to increase our supply.
Build your food supply on budget
Apples were on sale for $0.99 a pound so did grapes. We stocked up on apple since they last longer in the fridge. Aldi apples were even cheaper than $0.99/lb. Therefore, we purchased apples for $26.30.
You can build your food supply on low budget. Just know what you eat or use. If any goes on sale, try not to pay full price for it. Stock up when you find it on sale. However, make sure we shop sales within your budget or at the end of the year it even out.
