Limit one coupon per person per visit. Peace, B. I've gotten this request before, but I didn't take it seriously. With this whole insane Extreme Couponing show happening and the 20 million conversations and emails I'm having about it, I'll show you what my stockpile looks like. Now, I don't watch television (those of you who know me know that really means I don't watch live television because it's too expensive and it pollutes my family's psyche), so I haven't seen this show. I have seen stills from online. Boy howdy, are y'all in for a letdown when you see my stockpile.  So, yeah, I sure hate to disappoint folks who've messaged me tonight asking me about my ginormous stockpile. This is where I store excess cereal, canned goods, and glass jars. Below is the cabinet for boxes (pastas, rice mixes, etc) with snacks on top. Both of these stockpiles are located in my utility room.  The pantry in my kitchen is small, but I make the most out of it with containers. I store basic cooking ingredients here as well as open packages of things, etc. The picture below is all you're gonna get of the kitchen pantry because it's a mess in there and I didn't want to clean it to take a picture. We don't eat a lot of convenience foods and we like eating foods from around the world, so you'll finds lots of grains and beans in my kitchen pantry. You also find spices and dry ingredients for baking. I bake lots.  We stockpile homegrown veggies, picked berries, and either meat that is on sale or has been killed and processed for consumption by friends.(This may freak you out if you oppose hunting or if you think eating venison is like murdering Bambi. We aren't hunters, but we are thankful for our friends who are and who are willing to share the cost of processing the meat of a deer or two throughout the year.) I try to keep at least 60 to 90 days worth of meat in the freezer as well as a season's worth of fruits and veggies. This is longer than the six week stockpile of other things we have. I'm not sure what you saw on that show last night, but we stockpile by following our sales cycle. Every six weeks an item will hit its lowest price point and that's when I purchase enough for six weeks (this means enough for my family as well as what I can afford to purchase to share). This also means that I'd only purchase 1,000 boxes of cereal because I was going to donate 995 of them. Get it?  I'm not going to snap pics of our toiletry stockpile. If you've followed the blog (and my blog is relatively new- I've only been up and running since May, 2010), then you know I go through my stockpile and make donations to our food bank, homeless shelter, and friends and neighbors. Just like Joanie, the Krazy Coupon Lady. Well, obviously not on that scale, but a big part of why my family coupons and stockpiles is so we can stretch our giving- not just our getting. Ugh. It makes me so sad to have to have to write that here. See, I've been thinking that "frugal giving" is fabulous and reality television is calling it a mental disorder. Ugh. (Do yourselves a favor and get rid of your idiot box.) I've written two pretty handy posts on how I do things. I hope they help you, friends. They are listed below. If this seems crazy to you, then don't do it. I've said that from day one. Just do it your way and relax. Peace, B.
