So if your stockpile is set, how do you get yourself to STOP buying ....if only for just ONE week!!! (one example is pop. We have plenty right now.......BUT the store has a 24 pack on sale for 4.88 & get 3 free 2 liters if you buy 2 cases. I have 2.50/1 & have 2 of them. So I can get 2 cases of pop & 3 2 liters for less than 5 bucks. I will do it, but gah, how can I stop? Another is the Dr Pepper, again on sale for $4.99, have MIR for $6 that I have to use by the 31st...so I'll pay $4 for 2 cases on that deal). I just want to take a week or 2 off but can't stand the thought of *missing* something!

If you think you just have to buy something then pass on the savings.. I have neighbors who have no time or want to coupon but like coming to my house to see what I got on sale and most of the time they leave with 30 dollars worth of stuff, I make a small profit and they save some as well without the work. I do the same for my family, most of them buy shamppo and things like that from me because they don't want to coupon. So they come to me and since I can sell it to them so cheap they stock pile off my items win/win situation.
