Amazing! I hope the cooking/cleaning details are designated to someone else, cause it looks like you've been a very busy girl! Way to go!

Amazing! Do you have lots of shoppers (with a family of 10) to help haul it all home?

xtremely jealous of the Capri Sun! Around here you can NEVER get them for less than $2 a box.

Super great job! I wish I had that many juice boxes. We go through so many of those in our house!

VERY impressive, you caught on quick!

I do have some good shopping helpers. You know, having a cute kid with you and teaching them the math of shopping can really disarm an otherwise cantankerous cashier. I can send my oldest girls in alone with a pile of RRs and a pocket of coins and they do pretty well. The Capri Sun was from that Wags deal. we stockpiled the juice and the chips ahoy that week. That one was definately a family effort and each item cost .50 in the end. There is a picture of that haul at my PB alone ( linked in OP) under the heading *shopping* my little kids thought that they had died and gone to heaven and I believe that one snuck into the pic.

Not big? Are you kidding?! It's HUGE!!! I think you've done an awesome job for 2 reasons:
1) you've only been at this for few months on a low budget and
2) there are 10 people in your household!

Your "not big" stockpile gets all from me!

What I lack in money this year, I make up for in hustle I guess ! Thanks for the encouragement. We have been making ends meet for 2yrs with savings ( thank God for that) but thats pretty well gone now. Our house hasnt sold ( almost 2yrs) and the job market just isnt the same. Lots of challenges. Learning to stockpile has helped me out so much and its also enabled me to help others even while we are in our own dire straights..... I owe it to the generous people at HCW who are never greedy with thier knowledge and information.
