Great idea!! Guess I'll have to increase my stockpile on both the wine and the gelatin...or maybe just the wine...Maybe I should have done the Feb. Stockpile Challenge so my objective would be to deplete my stock...

LOL no you won't get in trouble for posting non-coupon savings. Savings is savings. And there are just some things we can't get good deals on or coupons for.

Great job on the cases of canned goods.

Everyone is doing so good. I went to CVS yesterday and got some body wash, but I messed up my transaction and spent more than I planned to. I am going to try get there again tomorrow and hope they have the Ragu, since they were out yesterday. I'm not going to go to any other stores besides there unless I have to this week, they are predicting another storm and the stores will be NUTS.

I want to join. We get 140 a month in food stamps, been living off the stockpile pretty much since Dec. Still spent almost 600 at the grocery (damn hubby's paper goods) and 2.50 a day for milk...

Really hit the stores today despite the snow. Things I stockpiled:

Commissary:
Three 12 packs of Marcal double rolls of TP: $3.99 each minus the $2.00 coupon so $1.99 for each 12 pack.

Two single rolls of Marcal paper towels and 1 box of kleenex (kleenex were free and paper towels were 49 cents a roll)

Two Contessa Frozen Dinners (the kind in the large pouch for 2 or 3 people) $3.99 each minus $2.00 coupon so $1.99 each. I had insert coupons but there were also $2.00 peelies on most of the packages. I would have bought more but my freezer is very full.

2 boxes of Pure Via Sweetener 40 count $2.38 minus $2.00 coupon so 38 cents a box.

1 bag of Nutro Max Dog food on clearance for $4.35 and used a $3.00 coupon so $1.35 for the bag.

Petsmart:
2 bags of ProPlan Cat Food, 1 pouch of ProPlan cat food and 1 pouch of ProPlan dog food - free but had to pay $1.30 tax.

Safeway:
4 boxes of Nature Valley Granola Bars (on sale for $1.50 each) -- $2.11 for all four with four 40 cent coupons doubled and two 40 cent electronic coupons.

Wow you guys are amazing. I didnt really do any stockpiling yet. I did buy a binder and some photos sheets to help me start :) and then I got a box of 45 glad trash bags and 9 double rolls of angel soft tp for $5.97 each at walmart. Glad also had a $.55 peelie..ugh only if walmart doubled. I might do the stop and shop dove deal tomorrow but I've heard that the $5 off is iffy from here, so idk if I'll do it or not. but shaws has some produce for $1/each so Im going there and wait I do have to go to stop and shop..I have a free eggs w/$10 purchase nd $1/off produce w/$5 purchase cat. Hopefully its not gonna snow tomorrow, that would be a total bummer :(

For all you jello lovers out there .Found this on line:

The Basic Vodka Jello Shot Recipe is an excellent way to learn how to make Jello shots. The principles are the same for every other shooter recipe:

1 (6-ounce) box of raspberry Jell-O, or other flavor of your choice
2 cups boiling water
2 cups vodka


Directions:

In a bowl, pour the boiling water over the Jello and stir until thoroughly dissolved. Cool to room temperature, then stir in the vodka. Pour the mixture into shot glasses or Jello shot cups. Refrigerate until well-set, at least 6 hours. Makes 32 1-ounce jello shots, give or take.

Option:

Use flavored vodkas with the corresponding gelatin flavor, such as citrus/citron vodka with lemon Jello.


I'm stockpiling jello this week.
