It's time to stock up...

...Happy Valentine's Everyone!

So at this time of year chocolate is on sale and it is a good chance to stock up.

The word stock means inventory, 在庫 (ざいこ). So when something is sold-out it is, out of stock = 売り切れ (うりきれ). Around Valentine's is a good time to stock up on chocolate.

Stock up means that you build up a lot of inventory-you buy many so that you can use them in the future. So whenever I see snacks on sale at a good price I often stock up so that I can enjoy them later ^_^

Ok that is all for today but here is a link to a website where you can study more Valentine's English:
