This week I will be posting my 2012 Stock Up Price Lists.
You can see the stockpile price lists for toiletries here.
I want to make sure you are aware that these prices are based on national averages. I believe that 85% of the readers of FTM are able to obtain these prices using coupons, combined with sales and store rewards. Many of these prices are obtained by shopping sales cycles and require time and effort. These price points may not be the prices that you are willing to shop at. They are to give you a starting point to creating your own.
You will notice some drastic increases from my early 2011 price lists. This is due to several things:
This week I will be posting my 2012 Stock Up Price Lists. This series started last year and you can see the prices I listed here. Don’t worry about printing all of these, at the end of the week there will be a complete stockpile price list.

You will notice some drastic increases from my early 2011 price lists. This is due to several things:
The buy price is the max I will pay for the product – unless I have a dire emergency . The stock up price is my normal buy price – meaning this is what I would normally pay and I would buy more than 1. Of course, there are always opportunity to do better than these prices. You will also notice that this years Buy Price may be higher than last year. This is due to decreased opportunities to save. Since sales are less frequent lately and less stock available, you may have to purchase products in between stock up opportunities.

Many of you have been asking where I find the Free Kindle Books, like Gooseberry Patch’s Savory Pie Recipes. There are two ways.
Amazon has a list of classics that are always free. You can download them at any time for free. In addition, Amazon has a limited time promotional area of the website that lists books that are free for a limited time. Sometimes this books come and go in a matter of a day
You can bookmark this page to quickly check in on free Amazon Kindle Books. As of today, there are 279 titles available.
Hopefully this will allow you to find books quickly! No worries, I will continue to post the free books as they pop up, specifically the more popular titles.

If you have a Payless Shoe Store, you may want to check out the clearance sale, that can be combined with buy one, get one 50% off sale. Heather was able to save about 75% off her purchase. Here is what she did,
Two woman’s sneakers at $9.00 each (originally $34.99). Combined with the bogo sale, she paid just $13.50 for both.
Both pairs of sunglasses were clearanced to $2.00, so she paid just $3.00 for both after clearance and bogo sale.
The Payless BOGO sale is also available online, with free shipping to store.
Nice job Heather!
