In order to create a stock pile and get the most for your buck, you’ll have to be able to buy the brand that is on sale and not necessarily your favorite. There are a lot of great brands out there and it will take some experimenting to see which ones will fit your needs.

You will also find, during your shopping endeavors, that there are not a lot of coupons for store-brand items; so most of your purchases will be main-stream brands.
