So, here are a few pictures of my small H&B stockpile! Since I was only allowed 5 pictures, I wasn't able to get any of my food pictures and only got to load about half of my H&B photo's. I've been couponing for about a year, but I've only been stockpiling for about 3 months. I'm proud of my stockpile, but I cannot wait for it to get like some of the other photo's that I've seen! Do I seem to be doing well?

Here's a small inventory list of a lot of my items:
15) bottles of hand soap (Dial and Soft Soap)
53) Buddy Bars
28) Huggies wipes (72 ct tubs)
20) Band aids
41) J&J First aid kits
33) Huggies Pull Ups wipes (42 ct travel packs)
10)Tooth paste
25) Dental Floss
15)Packs of Disposable razors
25+)Pantiliners
17) Schick Razor starter kits (men's and women's)
11) Poptarts (we started out with 24 of these)
30) Yakisoba noodles
5)Mustard
5)Tobasco sauce
7)Hamburger Helper (started with 11)
8) Bob Evans breakfast items (I'm planning on getting about 20 more of these!)

And there are lots of other random stuff that I have less than 5 of.

great start! Love the pics If you want to post more pics just put them in a different post in this thread. They only allow 5 pics per post....so just post again

[staciedawn84]

I tried to do another post with more pictures, but for some reason it would only allow me to upload one more photo, so I'm just going to hold off on posting more until my stockpile gets bigger!

[jeanettebr]

I cannot tell you exactly how much I paid for all of it, but I know I got the Buddy Bars, First Aid kits, Razors, Bandaids, smelly stuff, all of the pads and tampons, some of the hand soap and some of the liners for free. I paid .12 cent each for the Pull ups wipes, .04 cent for some of the Huggies wipes and .29 cent for the other part of them, .25 cent for part of the pantiliners, .30 cent for some of the dial. I've saved thousands, I'd say close $3,000-$4,000 on all of my groceries and stockpile stuff just in the past 3 months, I have averaged about $1,300 in savings per month. I have all of my receipts put away, I'll be going through them soon to see exactly how much I've saved and then I'll let everyone know.

The Buddy Bars were actually my first deal, I got tons of them around Christmas time last year (this was the only thing I was buying in bulk) and I gave about 50 to the church, then I thought I had to have more because I had depleated my stash, so I went and got tons more and any time I come across the coupons, I get more! The kids love them and I've given so many away it's not even funny, I'd say probably another 25 on top of the 50 to the church! I was so excited to think that I could get something for free and I got tons of them! Then the pull ups wipes, the first time I went, I only got 12, when I saw that my total was only $1.?? I freaked out! Then they were out for quite some time, and when I went back, I got all that I had coupons for, well, actually, I have one more coupon (I left two on the shelf for the next person) and I'll be using it, but I think my husband might scream if I bring one more pack of wipes into this house! We almost have a lifetime supply!

I love my wipes! I can't help but grab them if I can get them super cheap or free, a quarter is much better than $2-$3 per tub! We have two toddlers and are hoping to try for another next year, so we can always use the wipes! As I said above, my husband would probably blow smoke out of his ears if I brought more wipes in, but if I can get more, I will!

Thanks everyone for your encouragement! I can't wait to share more pictures!

great pile where do you put it all.

Well...........
The Huggies wipes are under the buffet (this is used as a lizard tank stand) in the living room, the buddy bars, band aids, first aid kits and pull ups wipes are in one of the cabinets in the buffet (this used to be the cloth diaper cabinet). Those things are something that will not hurt the kids and since it's a very convenient place for little fingers, it's just a place for kid friendly items. Upstairs, there is storage closet where I keep all of my holiday stuff and Christmas paper, boxes, bags, etc. It's a weird closet because it's above another set of stairs, so there are only two shelves at the top and two steps in the bottom (the fourth picture is from the closet). So, I keep some stuff on the bottom "steps" with the stuff in the middle in wire baskets so that it can be moved when I need to get to the top shelves. We have lots of storage space in the bathroom! In the 2 cabinets above the toilet I keep towels, hand towels and wash cloths on the bottom shelves and then hand soap, the kids shampoo, baby washes and other random shampoo and conditioners on the top shelves. There are lots and lots of drawers where we keep other stuff that is already in use, such as cologne, deodorant, shaving gel, razors, toothpaste and a medicine/first aid drawer. But there is one spare drawer that I keep other random h&b items, stuff that I don't have lots of yet to really designate a specific place for it like toothpaste, baby soap bars, make up and applicators, etc. Then of course, all of the food is stored in the kitchen and we have a deep freezer in the carport. We do not have a pantry, but have lots of cabinet space. If the basement were more weather proof, I would keep everything down there on shelves, but it stays humid down there and I learned my lesson about keeping valuables down there when some of my wedding stuff was ruined! And yes, I do consider my stockpile to be valuables! So, yeah, I don't have one specific place designated to stockpiling yet, I may before it's all said and done but as of right now, it's just kind of spread out in different areas around the house. I am trying to get my husband to make me some shelves for the bathroom and for the weird storage closet, but with him working 14 or 15 hours per day, it's kind of hard.

Alright, well, I'm not sure if you really wanted that much detail or not, but I'm good at rambling on and on!
