Ok, now I have stockpiled enough shampoo to last a long time. I still have some things to work on.

I guess I've rambled on a long time now. I just wanted to show you all how I'm doing my stockpiling.

**Shellshome** · 10-08-2006, 10:26 AM

I am stock piling nothing this week. We have so much stuff we need to eat some before we buy anything else. So we are not going to the store only if we need milk will we get that but other then that nothing. I know it will kill me with the deals and things proably but that is ok. We go the following week and I don't plan to get much then either.

Glad for all the deals everyone else is getting thou.

**my4littlebuffaloes** · 10-08-2006, 02:11 PM

- 2 jars of Bush's chilli today for $.50 each

- 3 pounds of 92% lean ground beef

- 5 5 lb bags of self rising flour for $1.25 each, this is the lowest I have seen it in over a year, now I have 7 bags in the freezer

**jettsmom** · 10-10-2006, 01:51 PM

I haven't stockpiled this week. I spent yesterday moving my stockpile around. I got new shelves and reorganized everything. Today I made a list of things I need to stock up on. Mainly soups and veggies. I'll probably go do that tomorrow.

**peanut** · 10-10-2006, 01:55 PM

I don't know how you find things so cheap! Where I live butter is $3.69/lb., and it never goes on sale!

I'm not stockpiling as much as grocery exiling and processing food for the freezer. Mostly megacooking at the moment.

~ cooked up 18 c. of green lentils for the freezer.
~ megacooked fruit muffins using leftovers in the fridge.
~ megacooked Shepherd's pie for the freezer.

That's it. There are no deals in the grocery stores here. All food is expensive. At least the stuff I can eat. I can't eat the processed foods...they usually have soy in them, which I can't have.

**kabin63** · 10-10-2006, 03:52 PM

5 six packs of pepsi products for $10. I have about 8 six packs around so that hubby will now take it in his lunch and not have to pay one penny for any other drink, unless he wants to.

**sheidi** · 10-10-2006, 04:59 PM

i'm close to going over my food budget for the fortnight - but i'm guessing that happens a bit when you first try to stockpile? i imagine it evens out over a few months (hope so!)

so in the past few days i've stockpiled:

2 cakemixes @ 69cents ea
3kg sugar @ $1.79
3 packs chicken breasts @ $6 ea (half price)
2 lg packs chicken drumsticks @ $3 ea (third off)
2 lg jars of coffee @ $6.99 (almost half price)

so i think i have enough meat (i also have a lot of beef mince in my little freezer) and chicken to last into november. i would have bought more chicken if i had the space to store it - i just have the little freezer compartment above my fridge. its the corn fed, no hormone etc one, the best quality and tasting, but most expensive! i can see now that you have to check the use by dates, they slash the prices the day before they are due to run out.

**Lyn5** · 10-10-2006, 06:54 PM

~ picked up 5 more ketchups and 4 more packs of 24 roll TP on sale...I wasn't planning on purchasing stockpile stuff since I have a tough goal this month...but it was the cheapest price I can get...so I bought more.

**suzysaver** · 10-10-2006, 08:07 PM

Today I got a lot of stockup stuff:

2 mustards
3 ketchups
3 best foods mayo

more dry split pea to fill container
5 cans tuna
2 peanut butters
5 cans of cream of mushroom

pantry is finally starting to look better/ I'm not happy until stuff is falling off the shelves.
