Hi, thickbluebug here.
In this blog we will chart our journey of the deals we are chasing and the rebates we are hunting.
Tossing in some daily thoughts and tips.
Of course there will be drama too. We are couponers and someone is always trying to pee in the cornflakes - so drama is a given. Deal jealous fools trying to spoil the fun.

Gosh I think I could live off your stockpile for a year.Posted 08-02-2009 at 03:36:47 PM by ELLE-TN

August stockpile
It seems like I have a lot, but after 2 months of the challenges it's proven to me I don't have a year stockpiled.
Plus my stock pile pales in comparision to some of the others in the Birmingham Lunch Bunch.
This past spring we smoked a pre going out of business sale at Food-World and Brunos with triple coupons up to .55. They have since restructured and downsized their stores and only double to .50.
So I was able to stock up lots of pantry meat items. Freebies and nearly frees like tuna, chicken, spam, chili, crutons, flipz, and junk like bc cookies, muffin mixes, pound cake mixes and bc warm delights.
Now that the cereal, poptart and breakfast bar buying sales coming up, I am debating buying 2 more shelving units from target. I have a rc for 2 of the 5 shelf ones like I have in the basement.
Dh says when the stockpile starts going down he can use them in the garage.
The stockpile will go down too. I can't buy just to buy to replace it - it has to be free, mm or nearly free for me to replace it - just like it was to buy it. - With exception of meat, dairy bread and produce.Posted 08-02-2009 at 06:17:07 PM by thickbluebug
