    Default Some pictures of my stockpile......

    I am in the process of getting my stockpile built back up for winter. I've been trying to get it organized and thought I would share some pictures. It's definitely not as impressive as what some have.

    This also isn't everything that I have. I have canned veggies in my bedroom and more ketchup somewhere LOL. I have a tub with toothpaste, deodorants and razors under my bed and I have toilet paper and shampoo on another shelf in my closet. But here is what some of it looks like so far.

    The wooden shelf unit is in my kitchen. It holds the things that I use really often like canned veggies, soups, tuna, etc. The metal unit is in my spare room and holds the overflow!

    Wow! That's quite impressive, you're doing great! Just have to ask, do you get multiple newspapers or order extra coupons? I NEED to start doing that, lol!

    Nice. I love pics of other stockpiles. I can't wait for the day I have a real pantry for mine.

    I rarely ever use a coupon. Our papers don't have many and they are usually for things that I don't buy. I buy mostly off brands. I just watch for really good sales and then stock up. For instance I got the Ragu (one of the few things I like in name brand) for 1.00 a jar.

    Jealous of your peanut butter stock. We seriously go through two jars a week here. I try to stock up, but it never works.

    Thanks for sharing.

    When I catch it on sale for 1.00 or less I buy as many as I can afford. I bought 6 of the Peter Pan for .99 and then when Kroger had their brand for 1.00 last week I got 15. I had a coupon that Kroger sent me in the mail for one jar free and then .40 off another one. But when I got home and looked at my receipt I realized that the girl took off two free coupons instead of the .40 off so I actually paid for 13 jars and got two free.

    It goes on sale here for 99 cents but always it seems limit two! I'm too lazy to run out to the car and back in line to buy more.

    NICE!!

    BTW, not sure if you care, but I have a recipe for gateraide that uses Kool-Aid that tastes spot on and cost pennies on the dollar for the real stuff.

    (the secret is that you actually add some salt's to it)
