A SINGLE mum-of-four has revealed how her trick to saving cash is to stockpile items from supermarkets.
The mum, who posts under @mummybudgets, showed her home laden with piles of goods, from shampoo to toothpaste.
In her video, she wrote: “Doing a 1 year household stockpile as a single mum of 4 on a budget.
“Got a delivery from Sainsbury’s.
“I put £40 away each month to stockpile on household stuff.”
First up from her mega haul were Little Ones shampoo and bath bottles, and she got 13 items for 85p each.
The mum added that they “are amazing and smell great.”
Next up was Johnson’s Bedtime Lotion, and she bought four for £2.60 each with Nectar offers.
She also bought six bottles of Faith in Nature shampoo and conditioners for £3 using her Nectar card, and put them away in the cupboard to top up her supplies.
The mum showed how she snapped up nine tubes of Oral toothpaste for £3, four bottles of £2 Sanex wash, and six bottles of toilet gel for 65p each, which she described as “decent.”
Also included in her stockpiling haul were four bottles of lavender fabric softener which she “loves the smell of”.
The mum also won’t run out of fairy liquid any time soon, as she bought 10 bottles for 62p each.
And she also got nine bottles of hand wash to stock her bathrooms.
The mum also added four bottles of rapeseed oil, nine bottles of ketchup, six bags of £1.35 pasta, seven packets of spaghetti, numerous rolls of the “cheapest toilet roll” as “no one in my house cares” among other things.
She concluded: “I do a shop like this every six months.
“Some things last three months, and others up to a year.
“It definitely saves me money as I get everything on offer and only have to worry about the food shop.”
The mum showed a room in her house dedicated to her bulk bought items, which had bottles and packets neatly piled high.
Many other parents praised her stockpiling strategy for saving money.
One said: “I’ve done the same thing as you and store it the same way! Give me more money for food or things to do and I don’t have to worry!”
Another added: “I do this too! Saves me so much money, & whatever I’d have spent each month, I put away.”
And a third commented: “This is actually hella smart.”
However, one said: “If I had a big enough house with enough storage, I’d probably do the same thing.”
