I acquired 6 months worth of coffee and sugar and other goods . I made jams and jellies and froze fruits and veggies I basically put away what I could . I cut back on stuff I did not need this is what happened last winter I had every thing I needed I only had to run to the store once a week for milk , bread just a few things.I would see friends at the store and have like 6 things in my cart and would hear I wish I could come in here and only need 6 things .I would tell them what I do and they would at me like I have 2 heads but I'm one who is drinking coffee that was 5.oo not 8.99 and I was able to put money away. I have a feeling that gas is going up to 4.00 + again so I'm replenishing my coffee and sugar and flour again.I also am putting my feelers out and finding free fruits that people have an abunduance of like blueberries,blackberries,raspberries strwaberries and rhurburb as to cut back on the cost of making the jams and jellies. I'm always looking for ways to ensure that if any thing happens I'm covered . I must say untill last spring I was not too keen on coupons now I 'm addicted why pay full price when you get it for free or nearly free.And untill last spring I never really thought about power outages or loss of a job or high gas prices now I think about it and have a plan and feel that I could weather any storm that's a good feeling:BigHand:. ]]> scooby8themall http://www.hotcouponworld.com/forums/blogs/scooby8themall/3108-cutting-back-stockpiling-more.html http://www.hotcouponworld.com/forums/blogs/scooby8themall/3100-my-kids-think-im-nuts.html Sun, 17 May 2009 12:23:02 GMT I have been using coupons for 1 year now and it has helped with the stock piling , I love having 5 of those and 10 of these so that when I have used... I have been using coupons for 1 year now and it has helped with the stock piling , I love having 5 of those and 10 of these so that when I have used the last of some thing I just go the closet and pull another one out .Also with food and HBA prices coupons really put a dent in the bill.
Okay now here is where my grown kids come into the picture they all feel the need to live beyond their means which means they have cars they can not afford and other high bills they can not pay and half the time they have no money for grocery's.
Yes you guess it they call me for food & HBA I tried to tell them get the week end paper and use one coupon a week to stock pile some thing they all have told me their cell phones and cars and net flix comes first lol :hysterical:.
Not for me my saving money and and knowing that if some thing should happen I have a lot of extra to see me through, I know they believe I'm crazy because who in their mind would keep 30 bottles of dish detergent :BigHand:that would be me :smile77:. And I either got free or 1.00 off .
I look for every possible way to save money and I love knowing I have my basees covered.:biggrin:
So I'll let think I'm nuts just keep those coupons coming in . ]]> scooby8themall http://www.hotcouponworld.com/forums/blogs/scooby8themall/3100-my-kids-think-im-nuts.html
