Saturday Night Savefest

1.  Go shopping late Saturday night, and look for stuff you use that's on sale. 

2.  If you finds it, skips it(!), (stay with me)....but,

3.  if it's sold out - and it often is, since Saturday is the end of the sale (stores let the displays run down, which leads to customers clearing the stocked shelves, which won't restocked until the night shift)

4.  you get a rain check.$

This way, you don't have to buy Corn Flakes until he he actually needs it 3 weeks later.You get it for the sale price of $2.50, not the usual $3.39. You may also wait until the rain check is almost expired to see if a coupon shows up in the Sunday paper. Double savings!
