10 things I only buy on sale!

Since this is all about reaching my goals and finding financial freedom I thought maybe today I'd cover the simplest way we started saving money!

These are the 10 things I ONLY buy when they are on sale.
1 - Pasta Sauce, normally pasta sauce can cost between $3-$5 per jar. I only buy this when it is on a 10 for $10 sale. doing this saves us at least $20 every time!
2 - Bread, bread is expansive too so instead of buying the good stuff full price I tend to buy it on sale and Freeze it. When you freeze bread make sure you freeze it upside down, and thaw it right side up. this freeze thaw method will keep bread from becoming soggy!
3 - Snacks, I have two kids so I know as well as anyone that quick snacks are a must in the house. You can save $50 at a time if you stock up on snack foods when they are buy on get one or at least 50% off.
4 - Juice is another one that randomly goes on great sales. We typically buy the frozen juices and try to only buy them when they are under a dollar each.
5 - Sun Block. My little girl is as fair as they come so sun block is something we cannot go without! if you buy your sun block in the fall when it becomes out of season you can get it for up to 75% off!
6 - Soda. Soda is a big treat in our house. Normally I refuse to buy it at all, but once in a while in summer we are allowed to splurge on a case if the price is right.
7 - Clothes. As a rule of thumb if it cost more dollars than I think I'll get to wear it it is to highly priced.
8 - Art and School supplies are another big thing I will Never Buy off sale. the before school sales are amazing. you can save hundreds of dollars on these things if you buy enough to last you a year or more this time of year!
9 - Meat - Since it is the largest expanse at the grocery store. I am a stickler, any meat not on sale will not go in the cart. almost any meat I buy is at or under $2.50 per lb. most of our dinners have less than a pound of meat to them total saving us unbelievable amounts of money.
10 - Books or toys. These things are little extras, I try to get the things my kids like out of clearance bins but when I cant... I look for sales and stock up on them when I can. Usually most of the special just because gifts for them are bought on the day after Thanksgiving and stored in the basement until they are earned.

These things should NEVER be bought at full price. Doing so is likely to waste a ton of money over a single year. For more tips and tricks see the articles below!
