Stockpiling
A somewhat new term in our house. We have tried many times to stock up on food etc in the house...either by going to BJs wholesale or going to Aldi's - both place we spend a large chunk of money and then have to take the time to recover - especially if its BJs. We can easily walk out of there spending $400+. Aldi's was great for use when we had our apartment and it was myself, Matt, Madelyn and my brother. We could easily go there and buy a months worth of food and it was perfect financially. At that time - coupons were way too time consuming...

Now with 4 kids - and no time - I make the time to clip coupons. We are eatting all the foods we love, even some extras and I have saved nearly $1575!!

I took some time to take a few pictures of what I have been working on for the last few months.
This is the start of my stockpile - in the basement - we have a couple shelves that I have loaded up.
Here is the start of my Laundry stuff and the majority of the stuff that I canned.
This is the bottom half of my mother in law's freezer.
This is our freezer, I am out of room.
Canned foods.
Canned food, flour, ketsup, juice and cereal.
condiments in the pull outs.
More Dry food, Our H&B stuff is pictured below.
Thanks for checking our growing stockpile!!

Way to go! I'm stockpiling the HB stuff too. I don't think I've paid full price for those items since last May. You rock, girl!
