Alright Shelly- I have to ask- hope you don't mind :) I've tried getting into the coupon thing and it kind of inspires me when I see blogs where they have a bunch of groceries but paid so little. So my question- is this stuff you would buy anyway? Cause when I see all these deals I think that there is no way we would eat all this, is it more of a stocking up thing. i try to stock up on dishsoap and stuff, but I guess if I wouldn't be buying something (like several cereals..) I don't think I'm really saving. IDK I guess the whole thing also seems like a whole lot of work too :)
Rachel,
It is absolutely a stocking up thing! :o) I'm slowly building my pantry up, and some day I hope to get to the point where I am just buying fresh fruits and veggies and just sale items to maintain my stock pile.
And yes, for the most part, I only buy things that I would eat anyway. For example, even though we are working on cutting out as much processed foods as possible and foods with HFCS, food dye, etc. we are choosing to do it gradually (my husband more than I). So, some of the stuff I buy is only stuff my husband eats, so it goes in the pantry and he is all set for a while. A lot of the stuff I buy that I get for free or very near free I also give to my neighbor in exchange for mowing our lawn (this includes all drug items, like toothpaste, wash, etc. that aren't natural. We stick to only the natural stuff and give the rest away).
So, the short answer is yes, I am building up a stockpile. And it is making a big difference in our savings :o)
