Stockpile pictures












Just some of the stockpile that we've got over the last couple of months. The stuff in the garage I pretty much got from Walgreen's two weeks ago during the P & G promotion. All the blue boxes are stuffed with razors, toothpaste, toothbrushes and body washes. I estimate we have enough laundry detergent to last us at least 2 years (there is another 12 bottles inside). Ok, maybe 3 years. Dishwasher liquid - we are good to go on that too.
Most of the pantry I keep in date order, so the pink post it notes say "use this row first". It is a great way to stop things expiring on you.
The pictures of the freezer are after we ran it down in preparation for vacation. Unfortunately, HT and Bi Lo then ran triple coupons and I ended up stocking up on some free (or profitable) ready made stuff, like pizzas and bread. You should have seen the freezer after the steam fresh veggies promo - a whole shelf of box veggies. Very tasty and good for us. Only about 20 boxes left now.
We still have cereal and oatmeal up the wazoo and it should keep us going until spring next year. What can I say "they paid me to take it out of the store".
I haven't even shown pictures of the boxes in the spare room and the toilet paper and paper towel store in the attic, and the stacks of diapers and wipes ...........
My only problem, apart from storage, is I'm running out of stuff I have to buy because I'm stockpiled up the the rafters. Really, I am.
I did manage to donate a box of items today that are going to a female soldier in Iraq (via some friends). It is Memorial Day after all, made me feel good and got rid of some things I was going to donate to the Women's shelter anyway. Win, win - saved me the trip.
Now, if I can just have another yard sale in the fall and make lost of $$$ for the Disney trip I will be happy.
