List of Everyday Items to Keep on Hand

Follow & Share!

If you buy your everyday items now, and keep a 1 year supply on hand, it will be less money coming out of your grocery bill! More money for food! I have boys to feed and my husband. We don’t have a lot of money to buy food. So keeping toilet paper, paper towels, shampoo and other items on hand instead of them constantly being on the grocery list saves me time and money!

List of everyday items you can keep on hand. If your grocery bill is full of dry goods, it means less to spend on actual food stuff!

Take dry goods out of your grocery budget

It really helps that I do not have to buy stuff like toilet paper, or deodorant and use the grocery money to buy them, because simply we would not be able to eat much more than bean and rice! Thank goodness I have gotten pretty crafty at getting the most out of my grocery money. Don’t spend important grocery dollars on non food items! Get creative where the money can come from. If you get a big return on taxes, you could spend a couple hundred of it on the everyday items. Or save up all of your change for 1 whole year, and see how much that can get you.

Remember about expiration and other important dates…

Please keep in mind that these items can have expiration dates and other important dates to watch. If it’s not going to last a year by the expiration date you may not want to buy it. Make sure that you use FIFO, which means first in first out. The newer products get used last!

Using coupons…

Use coupons & sales as much as possible to buy these items as cheap as possible. Also, buy what you can at the Dollar store where things are only $1. Now that you have seen the list, doesn’t it seems a little overwhelming to have all of that on your grocery bill? It adds up to a lot of money! If you think of items I may have forgotten please feel free to comment so I can add them to the list!

Make sure to check Use by/sell by dates etc. and use and store properly.
