Tracy_in_Missouri's Stockpile Pics

[Tracy_in_Missouri]

I was inspired by other peoples pictures to get my own stockpile started. Its not big by any means, for 2 reasons. 1) Ive only been at this a few months and on a very low budget 2) We are 10 people here so its a bit more challenging to stockpile faster than we consume some things =)

The man who built my house believed in giving people lots of closets, so closets Ive got. There is plenty of storage space - but I sure wish I could keep at least all the food items in the same room.

My daugher took pictures of what was easy to show you. Didnt get freezers and a few other things. Will try to update soon.

Grrrrr. I cant seem to get the pictures to load correctly and there are 27 of them ! Am I allowed to link to me Photo Album ? Let me know if that needs approval or if I need to change something

That's a phenomenal stockpile, Tracy! Great work! Can I have some paper towels? lol

That is awesome! I have a decent budget and only one other person in the house and I am NOWHERE close to that!!

I'm jealous of the Mr Clean Magic Eraser stock. Those go fast in this house. Nice job! Wish I could take pics too of mine but it's too packed in cabinets to show!

Holy Cow Tracy! That is awesome!!! It's so pretty....I love a neatly organized bunch of goodies! I'm almost as jealous of your closets and storage space as I am of your stockpile! Consider yourself lucky, my dh thought it would be a good idea to move a wee bit out of town to an OLD farmhouse and it has NO closets. Oh, I take that back, it has 2. One in my son's room and one in the room we use as an office. I hate to think what kind of shopping damage I would do with some space to store it all!

What is the scoop on the dang magic erasers? Did I miss something? I use those on everything! You have to keep us locals in the loop girl!!! LOL!

We use alot of magic erasers, because our house has all white baseboards and trim. Weve done the old farmhouse thing before and I can totally relate to the closet issue. Im not sure how much longer we will live in this house, so I will need to house hunt with stockpile space in mind !

Magic erasers had a $1/1 coupon recently. At DG they are 1.25 - while they arent free,, if you do use them .25 a piece is a real bargain !

Bringonthewonder, You know what ? Before I started couponing we didnt even USE paper towels. I buy lots of kitchen towels and we just use them and wash them. I have to do a towel load anyways for bathroom stuff, so I just jam the kitchen ones in too. It saved alot of money at the time. We had PTs around for nasty cleanups only. Well, now we still use towels except for icky stuff, although we are more liberal about using the PTs. I do like having lots of paper around after living through the ice storms.

Fussypants, Im praying for a Barilla sale at Dillons soon. Im totally ready to fill a closet with pasta again =0) I hope they go 10/10 soon !

I've seen houses with a lot less people in them who are NOT as organized and neat as yours - Mine included!

I am very jealous of your closet and storage space. I can relate to all the people. We've raised 8 kids, 3 at home at the moment, one in a local community college, one that starts nursing school in Nov., the third one is a DGD we are raising who is in HS. I started out with my stockpile in one closet, now it has overtaken my upstairs hallway on five set of shelves and I have three freezers that are completely full, plus the one on top of my frig. Your pics are AWESOME. I think you are doing a fantastic job of stockpiling.
