(NEW PICS IN POST 9)

It has been about 7 months sense I started couponing and stockpiling. I forgot to take a pic of under my kitchen sink, but it is such a mess that is probably a good thing .

Most of my stockpile is in my laundry room which is more like a hall than a room so it was hard to get pics. On one side is my washer, dryer, chest freezer, furnace, and hot water tank. On the other (behind the door) is my shelving, stacks, and laundry baskets.



This is the shelf over my washer and dryer, the boxes on the right are dishwasher tab overflow from under my sink

These stacks are next to my laundry room stockpile shelves. My mom drinks Ensure daily so these $2.50ish each 6 packs got stocked thanks to WAGS




This is my attempt at getting all of the shelves, on top is all cereal


Close up of the top shelves

2nd shelf down

3rd and bottom shelves

Nest to my chest freezer which is in a nook accross from my stockpile shelves

Top kitchen cabinets, pasta/rice and open baking supplies and some pouch mixes


Spice/meds cabinet on the left (we don't do much for meds) and on the right is my kitchen pantry/closet

Above and below would be the mess we call my bathroom. We had a water leak under the sink and after hubby fixed it he just tossed everything back in and I havent gotten to it lol.



Whew!

Awesome job! It looks great!

[lauramama2]

great job! I luv your shelves!

Thank you

Would you believe those shelves are around 12 years old lol. My mom bought them like 12 years ago from Ames dept store, 3/$100 lol. I ended up with these 2 5 years ago and painted them black to go with my bedroom furniture. The looked great with all my hundreds of books, but I needed to store the food more than the books so now I am on the hunt for new bookshelves for my bedroom lol. My books are all in boxes

Great job for only 7 months of couponing!

Awesome job! It looks great!

Thank you both. I didnt really save much money in the first 6 months, I stayed within my normal budget just got a lot more thanks to coupons and was able to pull Christmas off within my normal household shopping budget over those 6 months. Last month I came in a couple hundred under the norm, this month I am going for even less now that my stock is more well rounded.

Almost 2 months later, done a bunch of reorganizing and added a 2nd chest freezer

Moved most of the laundry detergent, the shelf just couldn't support it all lol. Added a bunch of Reynolds Wrap (double what is pictured actually) and still haven't broken into the dishwasher tabs

Added these wire bins next to the shelves. These are great for canned goods (I have them laying on there side), pouches and snacks.

Still plenty of cereal

These shelves are hard to get with how skinny the room is






Across from the black shelves, this shelf is above the big chest freezer

This is the big (new) chest freezer, I had to move the 2 lts of soda, but it was worth it. Lots of $.54 seapak, $1 tornados, and freebie veggies


This is the smaller chest freezer, now in the dining room. All meat, turkeys, chickens, roasts, steaks, etc.


Kitchen pantry, the green bag is pasta and rice sides

Kitchen cabinet, (left)dawn 10 deep on the left, air fresheners of all kinds in the middle and right (right)Bottom shelf, the pic is deceiving, there are only 4 glass cleaners, the rest is ALL


More cleaning (my 50ish free sponges from Kroger)

Still need a good pasta sale, down to almost nothing but spaghetti

(left) meds (we dont use much, mostly vitamins) and spices (right) pouch baking mixes


The Fridge freezer, lots of go-gurt, frosen dannon yogurt, the rest (not shown) is open packages

Fridge, more yogurt, grands


Poor soda needs to find a home other than my kitchen floor


My newly organized HBA stockpile. Moved this cabinet in from the dining room. It was for board games but it was always a mess with those so I moved it to my bathroom. Shampoo and conditioner up top, then body wash, soap, and lotions, then Razors, deodorant, and oral, on the bottom is feminine, and first aid. I dont stockpile like a lot of you do obviously, but we don't use more than the basics with HBA.
