When you are stocked up on something, from chicken to cereal, you can be pickier about when you purchase it in the future. In fact, you can wait for rock-bottom prices. So what are some great rock bottom prices? That is a question I’m always asked and it’s a hard one to answer, because it depends on if you are brand-specific or not, along with where you live.
There are good prices, and then there are target prices. Below are my target prices for general items, though I do sometimes buy when the item is more expensive, these are the prices that scream, "stock up now"!
