I still got lots of toothpaste and fair amount of body soaps and shampoo but am really needing to get working on my cleaning stuff. We also have our food stamps for the rest of this month so I will be stocking up big time the rest of this month on food deals. Anyways I just wanted to share my story of why I will continue to stockpile the rest of my life, you never know what will happen and you will need it. ]]> Stockpiling 101 sugarprincess http://www.afullcup.com/forums/stockpiling-101/319216-needing-get-my-stockpile-built-back-up-after-hard-year.html http://www.afullcup.com/forums/stockpiling-101/319101-new-afc-new-shawsing-1st-cat-oop-question.html Sat, 14 Nov 2009 16:28:14 GMT

I'm a newbie and i feel like i'm out of control. I just started a spreadsheet and entered all my receipts, and I feel so guilty for spending so much in such a short amount of time. I'm trying to get a stockpile going for 2 people, but i feel like i'm going overboard. My first official coupon shopping day was Oct. 15. Here's the damage:

32 receipts
spent $256.65
savings reflected on the receipts was $443.25
I have $15 RR left for walgreens
I have $5 gift card for target

I feel like i'm out of control on the spending. What do you think? I think I will stop shopping for awhile. Would appreciate any advice.

The problem is that instead of using it in the same moderate manner we usually do, the kids think, "Oh goodie, there is so much of this I can eat more of it!" This defeats the purpose of my stockpiling. Instead I am just using more of an item and having to buy it again.

I'm a newbie and just discovered couponing and AFC a week ago...and I must admit, I am hooked! I can't imagine paying full price for my household goods again.

Quick question for everyone, and sorry if it's a stupid question but: is now a good time to stockpile the Fuzion razors and Vaseline lotion from Walgreens since they are essentially free because of the RR? I want to start stockpiling and me and the hubby definitely use lotion and razors. But I guess my question is whether I should wait until I get them free (from Qs and store sale) or is the RR at WAGS just as good? how many lotions and razors have you all gotten from this month's WAGS RR deals? would appreciate any input! thanks!! ]]> Stockpiling 101 joyskisaver http://www.afullcup.com/forums/stockpiling-101/278631-stockpiling-question.html http://www.afullcup.com/forums/stockpiling-101/278325-what-did-you-say-ur-stockpile-sale.html Thu, 22 Oct 2009 06:05:55 GMT ok, so just wanted to see what all afc'ers would say at there stockpile sale as to why, how, where all the stuff came from? i would say i just got to much of the items i put out and they would say wow how much do you have??? ]]> Stockpiling 101 tinkerbell82 http://www.afullcup.com/forums/stockpiling-101/278325-what-did-you-say-ur-stockpile-sale.html http://www.afullcup.com/forums/stockpiling-101/278304-my-husband-hates-stockpiling.html Thu, 22 Oct 2009 04:38:06 GMT Ah! He hates it. We don't have a big house, but for cheap or free I'll make space for things if I have to hang a kid from the wall to sleep and sell their bed. :hysterical:

He would rather I just buy things when we need them. :( How sad! None of the logical arguments have made a dent.

So much of my stock has been going to friends or the church. Which is fine, don't get me wrong. I love giving away things to people, especially if they need it. :) I just want to keep some stuff!!!!!!!

Yesterday he told me if I died he'd throw out all of the coupons and WOULD NEVER USE ONE AGAIN?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!!!!!! Ah! :eek2:

Anybody else have a husband like this?
