Abstract
Price deals for consumer nondurables may cause consumers to buy larger than normal quantities of a product (stockpiling). Despite the potential importance of stockpiling to the profitability of both retailers and manufacturers, seemingly little can be said with confidence about the phenomenon. Using household-level grocery purchase data, the study finds that deal proneness, the household's level of product inventory, and the level of price cuts are consistently related to the incidence of stockpiling.
