 Most people when they go shopping don't really think about planning ahead but I'm going to give you four items that if you have the money you should probably stock up on when you can. Hey there, NJRoot22.com here with a quick little consumer alert or a miser savings update. It's about buying things when they go on sale and we're not talking really about food items but items at your everyday supermarket that you should think about buying a little bit extra when they go on a good sale. Now mind you a lot of people do shop at Costco and BJs and Sam's Club and those shopping clubs and buying in bulk in general usually does save you money over buying individual units or smaller packages or stuff like that but I've found that at least from my observation that those price clubs aren't always like significantly more and of course you have to take into consideration the annual membership fees as well so that depending on how much you use or buy or spend it may or may not make a difference in your annual expended chairs but if you if you don't want to be bothered with the price club shopping then here's a here's a few items I came up with that you should probably think about buying on sale. Now my first item was paper, paper products but paper towels in particular. We've just we've said in the past that bounty paper towels are still kind of the best the best of the best I don't think there's any other brand or version that that's actually better in terms of actual quality but bounty per square foot is usually you know at least double sometimes three times more expensive than any other competitor even the premium competitors that we think that you can get like you can get premium Walmart paper towels premium Aldi paper towels which are sketchy I don't really buy the Aldi paper towels anymore because they vary their supplier month to month like sometimes you're getting an okay and sometimes they're getting a kind of a shoddy one so Aldi is no good but Lidl Lidl is a new German supermarket that's popping up and you're going to see a lot more of those Lidl's in the next couple of years I think they have equal to bounty and it's much much less it's the king of the hill right now there's a link in the in the article and you have to go to my website njroute22.com to read the article I don't think I'm going to put a link in the description I always forget I always forget the link you can go to my home page though there's a lot of fun things to look up on on the website but you can get bounty if bounty is is the old standby you can get it almost down to a respectable price but you have to buy them on sale you have to buy the biggest pack and then sometimes they have if you buy like two packs of bounty you'll get a $10 instant rebate at the checkout so you got to study the this like shop right flyer to to score that deal if you ever want to and you can buy like you know a hundred dollars worth of bounty and have many months of bounty to keep you going and those are necessities and same goes for toilet paper too I mean it depends on your brand I guess toilet paper is more of a personal preference obviously since it deals with areas where the light doesn't shine but that's something to keep in in mind but the next item I have for you all is seltzer I not everybody drinks seltzer but I'm a huge seltzer drinker because I drink it with my alcoholic beverages never alone just with my alcoholic beverages so refreshing um but I found a new king in the hill seltzer for me I mean I don't some people in my house swear by pariet and it's like a jib usually like almost three dollars a 25 ounce bottle at like places like kings but sometimes you can score pariet for like a buck a bottle buy five for five dollars but that that sale kind of fluctuates sometimes it's like four for five five whatever I like the shop right brand seltzers the best and my new flavor I don't even buy any other flavors it's cucumber melon it's truly a delightful drink and no man should say the word delightful it's an awesome drink it's an awesome drink I love the way it tastes but I you can score it from time to time I've noticed it for five liters for two dollars that's 40 cents a liter you know compared to like buying a less than a liter of pariet for almost three dollars it's it's insane but I like the shop right seltzers and you can buy those stay good for a long long long long time and I know a lot of people like their cans of seltzer they bring them with them on their in their car or whatever I don't know cans the smaller the package the more it costs always so if you can get the leaders that's your best unit size to to buy and you can learn to live with it I guess yeah but so if you ever see those seltzers on on sale like you should give the shop right ones a try pick pick up you know for two dollars for five you can get for 20 bucks you can get 50 liters of seltzer just put them in your shelf somewhere if you have the room and keep them keep them for a long time so always keep an eye on that stuff and and remember what your inventory was in your storage areas in your house and here I got another item for you and I this is not my favorite item to stock up on but because you know I take supplements vitamins quite a bit here so I used to buy like you know more name brand like I like now vitamins which amazon sells and other health foods holy shit there's a huge dragonfly in the my movie studio here or I don't know what it is I need oh you know what I have I have a bug zapper I'm gonna zap it if it comes anywhere near me this thing is huge holy mackerel why is it bothering me while I'm filming this is awful I'm gonna see this is my bug zapper I'm gonna get it thing is the size of a bat holy macaroni well I'm gonna try and film here wait I see it got it zap that dragonfly anyway completely unscripted wow these things are great they sell them at ocean state job offer 399 and don't have these around like your kids like as a mini stun gun you press the button it electrifies this field and anything that has water and it's going to get zapped so luckily I had this around I anyway vitamins there's a brand of vitamins I forget which one it is nature something or another because every vitamin at shop it has the word nature and it's so annoying but there's one it's not nature's truth it's nature's bounty that's what it is they every now and then they have a sale at shop right I think it's almost every month but it's 50% off and I take vitamin D vitamin C there's a couple others potassium you get them really cheap you know so if you take any vitamin regularly I would recommend you buy a couple extra when they're 50% off so but personal preference again and and I can tell that the nature's bounty ones do work I can and some of the other ones the sundown natural's at right aid is awful and there's another one yet the yellow vitamins I never I didn't like those yellow vitamins there's a couple of them I forget which one it is at shop right but the yellow vitamins a couple of them are okay like the vitamin B's definitely work but that's about it I can speak for them and lastly it's another consumable item it's bags either garbage bags or the food bags like those zip zipper bags they go on sale and like everybody has their there's the two big brands there's the hefty brands and the zip lock brands and the garbage bags I think it's glad and hefty um you know the name brands I think they are just a little bit better but nobody's like carrying a garbage bag it's a homeless person up like with them everywhere so I wouldn't really worry about the actual quality of the bags and I found good success with the shop right bags both the food zipper bags as well as the garbage bags and you can buy the family pack when they have that on sale it's it's pennies on the dollar compared to the hefty glad or zip lock brands so just try to pay attention always buy the bigger volume you pay less per bag and and if you use it regularly it's just a no-brainer money saver I did want to say one quick thing about the food bags I've noticed over the last several years that those slider bags with the little I guess a zipper they called zip lock bag they was always zip lock without the zipper and then they put a zipper on it and it's I don't know now they call them slider zippers I found that even the name brand hefty or or zip lock the zipper bags break like every other bag breaks especially if you like store like you're say you make like a couple pounds of bacon and you want to go in three or four times I think they have an expiration of four zips and then they break so I we're done a hundred percent done with any kind of sliding bag that's just for lazy people it sure is easier and it makes a definite seal but you can test the seal by by squeeze I can go all into how how you're supposed to zip a bag and test it but the double zipper manual bags are just fine you can get like so many like a hundred bags for like two dollars at shop right and you can also get those at Letal and and Aldi as well and there I think they're just as good as any of the house brands and of course I mean I would we'll add here that you know from time to time meats go on sale a ground beef and I wouldn't mess around with steaks but meats like ground beef and bacon frequently are always on sale like there's I think there's like four weeks a year that bacon isn't on sale at shop right but you got to keep in mind you got to freeze that stuff if you buy a lot of it and when you buy things and put it in the freezer you have to kind of rotate your freezer so anything you buy food wise and freeze you really have to have a good plan on how to eat that freezer food I used to call it freezer week in my house where like you know we got to make room in the freezer for fresh stuff and but that hasn't been working too well but that's it I hope you enjoyed my tips hope I didn't ramble too much I hope the exciting bug zappa was was fun but I got it first try have a good week ahead good rest of your week I don't know when I publish these so enjoy
