Stockpiling: when it saves, when it doesn't

Buying a few months' supply at a low price can save money. Buying a year's supply of something that expires, or that you stop using, doesn't.

Stock up on

• Things you use steadily and that keep: toilet paper, soap, canned goods
• Items at or below your price book low

Be careful with

• Food and medicines that expire
• Products you might switch from
• Anything you don't have room to store
