howesmath, i live in florida too and your stockpile looks just like mine..everywhere ;)
I would love to have a basement. My brother lives in Virginia and they have a finished basement with a huge laundry room. The laundry room has tons of shelves in it. It is a huge mess with a bunch of junk stored in it. I would love to have that area to store my stockpile. Their laundry room is closed in and has a door on it and they use the rest of the basement for a play area and TV room. When we decided to close in our back porch to make it into a playroom last summer, my ds, who was 4 1/2 at the time said, "Daddy, are you going to build us a basement?"
Love those shelves in the laundry room. I need to show those to my Dh, he hates when I send him to the basement "pantry" to get a couple of things and that would be a wonderful solution. Three cheers to the one that came up with that idea!

Howesmath.......I am in florida too............By looking at your stockpile.....it looks like alot of CVS or walgreens..........since we are in the land of no doubles........where else do you shop? Publix, WD, Albies??????
Oh and I've sold a couple thousand dollars worth of stuff in the last two months so my stockpile isn't nearly as large. I'll try to take some pics later of how it looks now.
I'm addicted to yard sales now!!!

Yeah, the no doubles stinks!! Most of the HBA items are from CVS. Some are from Walgreens. I also shop at Publix, Winn Dixie and Albertsons. I visit Wal-Mart and Target a few times a month, too. I match up the deals with the coupons I have and do the best I can at the grocery stores. I keep all of my savings in a spreadsheet and my savings at those 3 grocery stores is 56%. That's pitiful compared to 95% at CVS and 79% at Walgreens. I usually have about 3 garage sales a year and sell excess HBA items. I will have tons of Sunsilk to sell at my next garage sale. My overall savings so far this year, which includes my profits from my garage sales, are 82%. I figure that's not too bad in the land of no doubles.
