Stockpiling (PIOG)

[Shlamoof]

I kinda hope I turn into one of those unsane extreme coupon ladies with the crazy stockpiles... only I won't have 1500 rolls of toilet paper, just enough to get me through to the next sale :p

My laundry soap stockpile :)

My refrigerated drink stockpile:

My (messy) freezer veggie stockpile:

My meats stockpile:

My cereal stockpile:

My pasta Stockpile:

My spice stockpile (and also a bag of pumpkin seeds and yes, that is spraypaint on my microwave *sad face*):

AAAAAAND... my dried beans stockpile:

Do you stockpile anything?

I want to stockpile but since I'm staying at my moms I don't have the room to do it. Her house is so small. I learned a lesson after getting divorced & laid off both within a few months' time. I was blessed to get food stamps but those didn't buy dish soap, laundry soap, shampoo, toilet paper, etc. I was so blessed to have my mom & sister help me. They aren't exactly rich either, my sis is a single mom of 2, & my own mom was forced into retirement due to layoffs. She collects social security now. I'd love to learn stockpiling tips myself in case that happens again.

 Awesome!  I love the colored baskets.  WTH happened to your 2 liters.  Someone squished them LOL

It's all very neat and organized!

I coupon and I make sure we have enough to feed us at least a month if something happens. We have money in the bank, we have food in the pantry.  If Tom gets laid off, we won't go hungry.  Anyway that's my philosophy behind it.  But I do coupon.

I don't think I have good pictures of anything. I'll see what I have.

 Collect coupons!  You can get most of the things you listed for free or at least less then a dollar.  We jut started a non food pantry for just the reason you stated.  People who are on food stamps but still can't buy non food items.  I'm helping to stock the shelves by couponing.  I turned in a huge bag yesterday that I  probably spent less then 5 bucks on.

I/ we stock pile.  but I don't buy stuff with coupons and usually the only time I buy certain things at the grocery store is if it's 10 for 10 things like that.  I have found the coupons are normally stuff we either don't eat or don't use.  I do shop at costco, sams alot.  and after buying in bulk or a really nice sale, we can the food and put it away.  by canning I mean in 10# metal coffee cans.  I'm in cahoots with a mormon!  they definently know how to stock pile!
