Stockpiling 100 Boxes of Cereal???

I get asked all the time, "What is a good stockpile number of items to have?" My answer is always the same, it depends on the size of your family and your needs.

I shop for six people, (this includes four teenagers) so our stockpile is likely very different from someone who stockpiles for just two people.

Let's talk cereal---since we can usually always get it for free or close to it.

A family who goes through five boxes of cereal per week (eating cereal for breakfast and as a late night snack) might buy 100 boxes as that is only 5 month supply for them!

A family of two would not need to buy 100 boxes just for themselves because I doubt a family of two would eat five boxes of cereal in a weeks time!

So, for a larger family, it's really not outrageous to stockpile 100 boxes of cereal when you can get it for free or close to it!

Another Sneak Peek into Some of our Stockpile

Last week I gave you a sneak peek into some of our stockpile, so I thought I would share more of it with you.

As you all know, I coupon and love it; and for what I do it is extreme for us--I stock up when things are free or expensive. I do not buy hundreds of the same item. I leave items on the shelf and what we will not use--I give away.

Couponing is just plain fun!

People that say a pack of toilet paper lasts them for a month must not have children or .... well lets just leave it at that! We go through toilet paper like crazy in our home! :)

You can get StayFree for free at Dollar General this week (through 9/23)! This is what I stocked up on this week! :)

I keep at stockpile of toilet tissue, and then I keep some 'ready to use' above the washer and dryer. :)

Do you stockpile? If so, I would love to see soem pictures of your stockpile.
