Where do you keep your stock pile?

I have absolutely no room in my house so I cant stock pile no matter how much I want to. What can I do? I really want to start saving money, but I cant stock pile so I end up paying full price when I run out of things. I am going nuts! I literally have no closet space left, and I refuse to put things under the kids beds because they get into everything (as a 6 year old and a 2 year old should.) HELP!!!

We have no strage space either. I only really stock up on non-parishables like rice, oats, pasta etc.

I have a lot of cabinet space in my kitchen so one huge cabinet is food, and a small pantry closet, and a few shelves downstairs in the basement

I don't have a pantry, so I put some shelves in the closet under my stairs. as long as I can get to the crawl space door it works.

There are 6 of us in a single wide trailer and I still find plenty of room to stockpile. My closet is full of stuff, as is under our bed, the top shelves of the kids closets (where they can't reach), under the kitchen sing, and I had additional shelves put up above the chest freezer for more storage. I am in the middle of rearranging my books on the many shelves in the living room so I can add some of them to my food storage space as well. Toiletry stockpiles are under the bathroom sinks as is the TP.

Most of it I store where i'll use it (like toiletries under my sink, laundry/cleaning supplies above my w/d). I also have a shelf in the garage which is mainly cereal/pasta, toys, diapers, paper towels, and a chest freezer. If I absolutely had to, I could reorganize my cabinets and fit it all in my house (except the freezer). I have a lot of cabinet space.  Is there a closet you can "claim" just for your stockpile? It's amazing how much room I was able to get out of a few closets just by reorganizing and decluttering.

I have lots of cabinets and cupboards so I put all mine there. I was going to suggest under your bed?

I am lucky enough to have a walk-in pantry.  So, I keep it pretty well stocked for the kitchen.  I have great cabinet space and a closet in the master bathroom.  So, any stock piled toileties have a place in there.

But, I can remember days when I lived in places that didn't have such great storage space.  It was difficult indeed.
