My Pantry

So some people have been asking for some pictures of what I Stockpile

this is what I NEED for My Family {yours maybe different}

but I however make Breakfast everyday

pack 3 Lunches 5-6 days a week

and make Supper 6-7  nights a week

like I said this is what works for my family

I love knowing I can just go shopping in my basement

if I need something made right quick....

At the end of every month I take inventory and make a list of what I need

and I start looking for the deals

 I don't and won't stock more than 10 of any items

Food Expires....and EVERYTHING goes back on sale again...

See It's not Hoarding

It's a Stockpile

 This is my cube freezer in my basement

it holds my veggies,pasta,bread,breakfast items,etc

 This is my stand up fridge/freezer in my basement

this freezer is for meats ONLY

YES I own 3 freezers.......

And these are my New FREE shelving

my work was getting new ones

and I saved them from the bad bad garbage man.....

So when hubby gets time I will be organizing My Stockpile again

I would do it but they need cut down they are to tall for my basement

Hope this helps you get some ideas....

Don't Stock it if you Ain't gonna use it!!!!

Tammy 

Free Lighting

So a couple of weeks ago our electric company called
and my husband answered the phone and said
           that the electric company is on the phone,

didn't you pay the bill?

REALLY???

 then you wouldn't have any power...

So I talked to them and they said they are giving away FREE lightbulbs

 heck yeah sign me up....

And these lightbulbs will also save on our electric bill as well....
