Stockpiling

Stockpiling isn't for everyone,but it works for My Family

I love knowing that I always have a

"little" grocery store right in my own home!

My goal is to have enough food & water to last our family

a least a year or more.....

I think that Stockpiling takes time, patience, and it really helps to be organized !!!

The way I started my stockpile....

- I wrote down what items My Family uses

Daily

Weekly

Monthly

-Then I put then put the items into Categories:

frozen

dairy
health/meds
oral health
cleaning
paper products

canned goods

boxed items

drinks

etc.....

 

-Then I looked into my  pantry, freezer, fridge, cabinets, anywhere I had these items and organize them into categories
"like items with like items"

 -How many items do I want to have in my Stockpile @ all times?
(Figure out your MAX number to Stock of each item, Because you need to know when NOT to buy anymore!! That's how you become a hoarder)  


              -Then I will ACTUALLY look @ those sale flyers that come in the mail, and my Sunday Paper

-what's on sale this week?
-what do I need in my stockpile?
-what do I have a coupon for?

I shop every week for Milk,fresh produce, and I try to  only buy what I have a coupon for and what is on sale,what I consider MY rock bottom prices!
(The limit I wanna pay for items)

"My Shopping Rules For Myself"

 -Don't be Brand Loyal  try different Brands...

-Don't buy things that your family won't use....

And

-Don't clear out the shelves....If you more than 10 coupons for an item them please call your store manager and they will make sure they have enough to cover your coupons
