I started couponing about 4 years ago. Although just started "stockpiling" for about a year.
It is great to score awesome deals, and be able to provide for my family.
I stockpile everyday items such as shampoo, conditioner, razors, toilet paper, toothpaste, paper towels, etc.
When we run out of something, we are able to grab it from the stockpile verse running to the convenience store and spending twice the amount you would in a trip to Walmart.
I try to pick up items we will use with coupons, not just use a coupon because "it makes it cheaper".
Although I do grab any items I can that come out free with a coupon even if we wont actually use the product, some else can!
Food items are good to grab, alot of them don't turn out to be "free" but they are way cheaper than what you would pay full price. I have stockpiled some free food items, but they aren't always "healthy" and shouldn't be eaten on a daily basis.
I have here photos that show you some of my stockpile items. K built shelves for me in our laundry room, I used bins from the dollar store that stack and metal shelving as well. It was hard figuring out how to organize everything, I still have some items that don't have a "home" yet. ;)
I will be doing a monthly (possibly bi-weekly) post on couponing. Posting deals with photos that I have picked up and giving tips and advice on how to start your own stockpile! In the meantime if you have any questions, don't be afraid to ask!
