I’ve posted about how my mother and MIL taught us re buying house hold commodities.
If it is something you use with and long term or indefinite shelf life and it is on sale. Buy it and store it.
We also, use our Amazon credit card with a 5% cash reward.
Anything that is a by product of petroleum will soar in price before the year is over. On Amazon I can pre order auto shipments of these items and have them shipped free to me every 2 or 3 months and lock in a great price and still get my 5% cash back bonus $’s.
Cool, whatever you can do to reduce your costs is the wisest thing to do. We must always remember that we must think outside the box and realize our fate is only determined by others when we do pray for the best and be prepared for the worse.
My total debt right now is like $2000. My home is paid for, my 30 years old vehicles run great and I have no needs I cannot take care of.
If I need I have great credit, and always always take advantage of the credit cards that offer free interest on debt for a period of time and transfer my debt over so I have not paid any interest on any card, other than a 3% transfer fee, in 25 years.
Amazon? Traitor....
