Tour my Stockpile!

Here it is!! I have spent the last 2 nights, getting it all re-organized, and cleaned out (of any expiring products, and donation items)!!



You will get to see 100% of my stock!


Pantry with cake, cookie, and brownie mix, snack foods, crackers, soda, juice




Pantry with granola bars, salad dressings, BBQ sauce, seasoning packets, hot sauce, peanut butter, oatmeal, sugar (5 gal bucket, and yes it was FREE) and syrup!


This shelf hold hair products, shampoo, condition, body wash, lotion, plastic goods, travel toiletries, tissues, aerosol air sprays, hot beverage cups, airwicks & mints!


This shelf hold baby items, oral care, candles (too bad ParyLite doesn't have coupons) make-up, first aid supplies, dog food, and more air wick/glade!

This is on top of the last 2 shelves, it houses feminine products, extra cereal and juice boxes (out of reach)

Here is our peg board with cough drops, q-tips, soap bars, toothbrushes, floss, travel Toilet paper, bottles, first aid kits, and RAZORS!!!


Here is the main shelf in the room, it houses too much to list!!

Our Powerade Stash!



Gabi's broken dresser was perfect for my stockpile! It houses paper towels in the bottom, deodorants and sprays in the drawers and misc. on top!

This is our Meat/Veggie freezer! It has homemade jams, frozen fruits, veggies, and every kind of meat you could want!



This is our snacky freezer, and there is a cabinet on top with crackers, popcorn and pancake mix.
This shelf is right outside the laundry room door, so it hold the laundry soap, toilet paper, pastas, tuna, more BBQ sauce and extra cereal!


This is what I keep on the shelves above my dryer, snuggle sheets, sponges, magic erasers, plastic gloves, travel tide, and shout wipes!

This is the shelf above the washer (yet to be torn out and re-modeled)
Here is a look into the pantry in the kitchen (please excuse the horrible cabinets, those are coming out soon!!!)

Ahhhh.... my favorite of them all!! PLASTIC!! For those of you that don't know me, I have a MAJOR obsession with plastic totes, and I my first Tupperware experience was LOVE at first sight!!! I have an awesome consultant, and she will help you get all of this for FREE!!! Just ask me for her info!!



One more, this is above my fridge!!

I hope you enjoyed the tour, and now have some inspiration to get out there and clip some coupons and start stockpiling!!
They key is to STAY ORGANIZED!! I could not imagine how this would be if it were not!!

Donating from your stockpile!

This my friends is how a Krazy Coupon lady donates! This is my donation to Womens Space of Lane County. There was actually 6 boxes of Easy Ups that are not shown, plus another garbage bag of items off to the right!

The whole donation ended up with a resale value of $1,500.00, which is a total tax write off for my family. Even though you are getting these items for free, you are spending the time collecting coupons, and trips to the store to get them!

My suggestion is once you have your stockpile built up, go in about once every couple of months, and decide whether you really need that much!! I had about 40 packages of Stayfree pads from various sales that I THOUGHT I could get rid of.... umm yea, after 4 months the husband said "ok, really? donate these and clear space" I do not keep ANYTHING that I do not plan on using!

Start a tote for donation items, and donate every couple months or so!! Or do what I did, I waited until the holidays and donated much more than just toiletries and food! They got games, art supplies and more!

I HIGHLY suggest donating to local food banks as well! Especially in the summer months when they have run out of all of the holiday donations!!

HAPPY GIVING!
