Since I retired I keep my eyes open for things that I use regularly being on offer. This is a good way to save a few pounds but I've discovered that you need quite a lot of room especially if you are buying bulky items.
Cleaning and washing products have been the most popular buys just lately because some had been on offer for quite a long time. I haven't had to buy any washing up liquid for a couple of months and probably won't need to until somewhen around about Christmas time because in one shop I found they had it on offer for a month. Every time I went in I bought another bottle because I was getting twice as much for the same price I was paying in Tesco.
Today I bought an enormous box of washing powder and two bottles of fabric softener for half the price so I won't need to get more for a few months but it just takes up quite a bit of room under the stairs though!
Shampoo and hair conditioner are other things that I buy when they have BOGOF's and I think it must be time for someone to have those on offer again quite soon because I have nearly used up the last lot!
A few weeks ago I also found a good offer on canned tuna and am slowly eating my way through that, I had eight tins! Baked beans are another item that often come up on a good deal.
It does pay to keep your eyes open when you are out shopping to see who has the best deal but I draw the line at going to areas where I don't normally shop just to get a bargain.
