After only a few weeks...

Here is what I'm sure you have been waiting for... An update on my stockpile!! After only a few weeks of serious couponing - with a week of vacation here or there - this is what I have accumulated:

My Pantry - as you can see we are all stocked up on soda for all of those summer barbecues, hopefully enough baby water to last through the rest of Evan's formula, and lots of other stuff!

A more detailed view of the left side.

And the area that mainly holds all of our baby items - goodness Evan needs a lot of stuff! lol

So we are definitely going to have to start eating some of our frozen items very soon or I won't have any room to store things!

Lots of cheese, breakfast meals, and juice concentrate.

This is one of my favorite parts!! Look at all of this toilet paper, paper towels, and the larger sized diapers for Evan to grow into - all of his boxes of size 3's we store in his closet. ;)

And my beautiful collection of household cleaners and personal items. We definitely won't have to buy baby, tooth paste, wash or fabric softener anytime soon! Although I store a lot in our garage there are several items I don't like to expose to the heat like hairspray and hair dye - then I also store all of our soaps and dish washing cleaners under our kitchen sink. In addition, I like to keep at least 2 bottles of every cleaner in our pantry for quick access - so everything you see here you can probably add 2 more items to because they are being stored in the house.

The entire shelf - its amazing how quickly you can stock up when you coupon! Plus I save a TON of money - nearly all of the toothpaste was free of less than .25 cents each, most of the shampoo was free, the fabric softener was free, most of the lysol bottles were purchased for less than .50 cents each, and a few of those items were from Publix's Penny sale!

So now that you've seen my giant mess of a stock pile I hope you have realized just how quickly and cost effectively you can build up a stock pile. Smart spending leaves a lot more room in your budget!! ;)
