Lost my stockpile in a fire - Looking for advice

[shelleyf]

I am just now seeing this. I am so sorry you are having to deal with this. I will be praying for you and glad that your insurance is covering it but I know it is a lot of work. I am glad nobody got hurt that is the most important thing.

Thanks and reps to all who posted.

There used to be a spread sheet here on HCW that referred to stockpile goals, what you have on hand, where it is stored, etc. I've looked everywhere for it and am not finding it.

Can someone link me to it?

Thanks!

I received the detailed list from the adjuster today. 465 items from my stock pile were totaled out. Almost $2000 replacement cost.

I have this crazy idea to see if I can feed my family and rebuild my stockpile for the next year using ONLY this $2000. It comes out to a little over $150/month. Since moving to CA, my grocery bill alone has been $300-$400 per month. I have not been couponing though. We've also started eating much healthier which has increased the budget.

Am I nuts? (Don't ask my husband). This would be a huge accomplishment for me. If I decide to do this, I will definitely be using the suggestions posted here - thanks!

Anyone have any additional advice? Do you think it's even possible? Keep in mind I almost never do "overage deals". They just never seem to work for me. I also don't do rebates - too much time for my world right now.

Thanks and reps for the advice so far. In answer to the questions:



Tyler am I understanding this correctly? If I have a .75 coupon and use it at Ralphs, they will bring it up to 1.00 and .35 will be brought up to .70? They limit 4 like coupons - right?

Thanks!

Yes a .75 coupon and use it at Ralphs, they will bring it up to 1.00 and .35 will be brought up to .70. I have live 3 Ralphs close to me. well sort of close between me and work. And 1 limits to 4 alike coupons. All the vons in my area will only do the type of doubles listed above and only on the first coupon.
