Thanks to Brittaney for this question: Paul’s is having their case lot sale going on right now and I wondered your opinion about whether or not items were worthy to buy or not.
Answer: I know many people who do not coupon but instead use the case lot sale as a chance to stock up each year on some of their pantry staples. It is a quick way for them to save each year without the weekly stress of matching coupons with sales. It works for them so for that I say great job.
A few of the draw backs are you do have to buy in bulk (not always depends on store) so since the case lot sale is only once a year you have to put a HUGE investment down in one shopping trip. If you have the money now great, but never put it on credit, the interest you have to pay will defeat any saveing you may see. I know many who use their tax return each year to purchase case lot items and it works for them. Also often you are buying store brand, so if you are brand loyal you may not be happy with the selection offered at your store.
That being said I think many of the price below are rather good (not rock bottom but good), and if it is a product your family uses worth stocking up on. Yes you may find some of these items much cheaper throughout the year with coupons but you can just add them to your pantry and know not to purchase them next year.
I would LOVE to hear READERS FEEDBACK…. what do you think of these prices?
