| Not as impressive as some, but pretty good for 2 months!
I’ve been “coupon” stockpiling for a little over 2 months now. HOWEVER, I have always been someone who stocks up at Costco on things that I never want to run out on: toilet paper, paper towels, deodorants, food items we eat regularly, etc. With that said, I usually always have a 2-4 week solid stockpile in our home. Now that I’m couponing so intensely again, all that has changed. I will now stock up on something as much as I am able to buy at the pennies or free price. For example, we currently have 41 boxes of kleenex (well we have more, but I’m speaking about the ones I got free) because they are free. Today is the last day to take advantage of this deal so I’m going out and getting anywhere from 12-20 more depending upon the stock the store has available. Anyway, here are some pictures of my stockpiles, with explanations of what you are seeing within each picture. Enjoy!  View 1 of my main, near my kitchen, pantry The top shelf back in the corner has 20+ boxes of cereal… the edges of the pantry extend pretty deeply beyond the doors (sort of annoying when trying to utilize said space!!).  View 2 of my main, near my kitchen, pantry Again, top shelf has another 30+ boxes of cereal back in that corner. My pantry stockpile here is actually somewhat low right now. I haven’t been through a full cycle yet of sales/coupons (takes about a year) so there are things I haven’t stocked up on that we were using regularly. Now however, we’ll use what I’ve been able to purchase at steep discounts.  View 1 of my laundry room pantry area. My laundry room is nice and spacious. However, we recently moved in and I don’t have anything really built in yet. In another picture you’ll see some shelves we did put up - with supplies we already owned. Now the quest begins to find things free to better utilize this space.  View 2 of my laundry room pantry area. I can’t wait to start taking advantage of Walgreen’s and Rite Aid sundries sales… my coupon stockpile is pretty solid right now so BRING IT ON you two!!  View 3 of my laundry room pantry area. See what I mean about utilization of space?? I’m desperate for shelves, counters, etc. I’m excited for the day this room will really function well.  View 4 of my laundry room pantry area. As I said before, I did have some shelves and brackets so we put them up. I really want to extend this whole thing towards the right… someday!! FYI, 90 boxes of “helper” meals, all found for 62c a box. Capri Sun’s were free, so were crackers. Soups were 30c can or less, bars were free to $1.00 box. Kraft Mac and Cheese was 30c box or less, cereal is 75c/box or less, etc.  View 5 of my laundry room pantry area. Extended view of the last one… bin of snack size chips, bin of school supplies and 44 bottles of joint juice (free). Oh, and the lovely cat box (sorry!!). More photos of my couponing deals and stockpiling can be found on my website at Freedom and Happiness
