My Stockpile
Okay, here is my stockpile. I wasn't able to get the fridge in the picture, which on top of are more paper towels and toilet paper, and inside of are cheeses, yogurts, juices, pillsbury pizza doughs, and in the freezer side are frozen items like hamburger, hot dogs, bread, chicken, etc. It's not as impressive as it once was, and it is impossible to see everything that is there, as the new stuff goes in front and moves back as I pull from the back. It looks as though I've got tons of Health and Beauty products, which I do, and tons of cleaning items, which I also do, but there is a lot of non-perishable food stuff in there as well. I'm hoping to live off of it for February with the exception of milk, fruits, and poultry/meat.
The way I build it up is by comparing sales and coupons and shopping loss leaders. When ShopRite had it's can-can sale, I bought tons of canned vegetables, as they were 12 for $2. Ronzoni pasta was on sale a few weeks ago, 6 boxes for $1. When they triple coupons, I get all I can get because I know I will use it. I never buy things that I don't normally use just to build the stockpile, because the products will just sit there and take up space.
Everything in this picture cost less than $1 per item.My Blog: http://amysreallife.com

That's pretty impressive.
Can I add it to the stockpile gallery section?
