"When the next month’s flyer comes out, I start my planning," Powell says. "I look it over; I mark what I want. I remember what certain customers ask me about and when it comes on sale, I let them know in advance that it’s on sale in the next week or two and we have it in stock. If they still want it, I’ll get it or if I have it, I set it aside for them.

I place my next month’s stock order at midnight on the 23rd each month when the new pricing starts. I do that because it’s a first-come, first-serve basis, and also because a lot of items are limited quantity right now due to the pandemic."
