Building a Stockpile!

Couponing is not just for those who can't pay full price etc. Couponing is a way to save money and to get more for your hard earned money!

With today's economy, building a stockpile is a great idea! Of course you probably have a great job etc, but what if you lost it tomorrow. How would you feed yourself, family etc.

Starting to build a stockpile can be easy and you can make it as big as you want. I have been couponing for almost 4 years now and am finally starting to get a decent stockpile going. This includes food, toiletries and more.

Step One: When there is a great week for coupons, buy more than one paper. Many times there can be high value coupons that help you to get an item free or very inexpensive(stock-up price).

Step Two: Find a pantry, closet, box etc to start storing these items.
Many will laugh but my unorganized stockpile is spread out.

 I have a good 10+ dishsoaps under my kitchen sink, plus atleast 10 boxes of dishwasher tabs.

Under my bathroom sink is all my shampoo, conditioner and bodywashes. At one point I have had a total of 50+ shampoo/conditioners under there. As I find great deals I continue to add to it(and these are not the 1.00 shampoos either. This stockpile includes name brands like Dove and Herbal Essence!)

We have a hallway closet which has to be organized constantly because I continue to find deals. This closet has food, more toiletries, candles and more.

I also have an old dresser in my garage that I started  filling with Toothpastes, toothbrushes, razors and women products. I have a good 25+ toothpastes, atleast 15 women razors and probably 5 mens razors in there.

When you can use a coupon and get a tube of toothpaste for free or .25 after ECB's at CVS, would you rather do that or pay the full price of 3.99 or more? Not rocket science eh!
