Nov - Building The Stockpile "Game"

[a_tyson8]

Well, I am done shopping for the month, so I figured I would post my totals now because I will be busy studying this week and I might not have easy access to a computer (I dropped mine tonight - grrrrr).

I did not get as much done as I was hoping to, but if you read the other thread at all you know that I've been going through a very hard and very unexpected break up for the last two weeks. It even killed my motivation to shop! So, really, 99% of what's listed here was bought before the 15th. Also, I could only stockpile non perishable goods this month as I will be going home for most of December. I am hoping that when I come back in January I will be feeling better and can jump back into it. Boy am I glad I had my little stockpile going already! I only had to go to the store once in the last two weeks, and that was just for bread and milk. It really helped.

Anyway, here's what I added to my stockpile in November:


4 Covergirl powders
2 Covergirl concealers
1 pack of Always liners
12 – 12 packs of Mt. Dew
4 Nestle chocolate chips
9 hungry jack syrup
6 boxes of hungry jack mix
3 pouches of hungry jack mix
3 Jif
2 cool whip
2 Pillsbury pie crust
2 Duracell batteries
20 DH cake mixes
10 cans of Swanson broth
6 cans of Del Monte tomatoes
3 Domino sugar
30 boxes of Jello

(125 total items)

for a total of $76.53.

I used 116 coupons and saved $182.99. I had an over all savings of 71%.

^Some of those coupons were most likely used on non-stockpile items but I didn't keep track separately so I'm just going to use these numbers. Close enough.

Well I added a bit more to the stockpile then just the 5 turkeys. I couldn't pass up the CVS GC deal with the Tide.

First transaction:
4 Tide
4 Dawn
1 Scott 4pk 1000 sheet rolls

Total $33.09 before q's; $23.09 after q's.

I ended up getting the Amex card because the couldn't find any CVS cards.

Second Transaction:
3 Scott 4pk 1000 sheet rolls

Total: $11.10, paid with the GC and $1.10 cash.

So I spent $24.19 OOP and got:
4 Tide
4 Dawn
4 Scott TP 4pks

Probably not the best deal to be had but added to the stockpile some needs. This was the first drug store deal I have done in months, since way before we moved, that's for sure. This was also the first toilet paper I have bought since the Rite Aid free after Ups that happened early this year. We were down to 2 1000 sheet rolls and 2 small 4pks, so now we have bought some time to find another deal.

Like foggie, I did the CVS Tide deal. Scored 7 Tide and I'm not done yet!

Ok, Froggie I got some of DD's clothes washed in reg. Tide. I'll see what happens.

I am hitting up CVS again tomorrow I hope. Tide is prob gone by now but I'm hoping they got a nice stock on the truck today. DD4 is teething and the weather is cold making not feeling up to running around town.

I'm off to get the Dec thread going.

Who has a list besides Froggie and a_t?
