The other 2 Kraft items I bought were the 100 calorie cheese bites at $1.49-promo=.49 ea used 2 $1 off coupons = $1 money maker (I guess I made up for my no coupon on the other cream cheese mini. The sign said that the cheese bites were $1.69 but they rang up $1.49 ea that is why I bought 3 mini cream cheese)

Safeway

I've gotten into the habit of checking the clearance section in the meat department at Safeway for deal on meat. They usually have an extra 30% off sticker on fresh meat sometimes they have a reduced sticker price. I haven't bought a whole lot from the clearance section but today I found some stew meat that was on sale plus an extra 30% off I would have paid $9.92 for both regular price but I paid $5.40 for both I paid about $2.5 lb
Another deal I saw that wasn't advertised was Lunchable sub sandwiches (just the sandwich) for $1.99 but you got a $1 catalina off of your next purchase making them .99.
The Kraft Cheese is also on a save $5 wyb 5 sale mix and match. The shredded and slice cheese was $1.99. I went ahead and bought the 5 because hubby needed sliced cheese for his sandwiches but I didn't have any coupons. still $2 is much better than $3.49

I was at Save Mart today buying some of the cereal that was on sale this week. plus I bought the boneless skinless chicken for $1.99 (not great deal but needed it) and a few cans of Dennison's chili for .88. I was over by the meat department and saw these French's mustard in a bonus pack buy French's yellow mustard get French's Honey Mustard Dipping sauce free for on sale for $1.99 I had a .50 off French's mustard coupon and a $1.00 off the honey mustard dipping sauce and wasn't sure which one would work so I went through the self checkout and tried it out and the $1 off dipping sauce worked and then I tried the mustard one and it beeped but the clerk put it through so I was able to get both of these for .49 cents.

Food stockpile

I stayed up all night Sunday night and cleaned out the kids playroom closet to make room for are food so it wasn't all over the house. This is the canned food in the closet. I have another shelf just like that one next to it with toys and #10 cans. This is our pantry.

Top shelves. I have 45 boxes of cereal.

Bottom shelves.

I made the room and am already for my shelf reliance. I just have a little more saving and convincing to do to get it. Yeah for making more room for stockpiling.

Under the kitchen sink stash

Here it is under my kitchen sink stash.

Laundry Room Stash

Here it is my laundry room stash.

Where is your food hiding

Well, Kelly probably has her Shelf Reliance by now : ) or maybe tomorrow? I'm so jealous!! No really I hope she gets it for her birthday and I'm excited for her. You gotta post pictures so we can all drool over how nice it must be to have all our canned goods organized and in one place.

Anyways since I don't have my Shelf Reliance yet I have to stash food all around my house.

I have pasta under my bed, canned goods and condiments in my laundry room.

#10 food storage cans in my sons bedroom closet and some more food where it should be in normal kitchen cupboards.

Stock pile

I love this question. I am so not a fan of stuff in fact if you get my kids something for holidays I am quick to throw it out and even buy the same thing twice. I am also freaked out with food and stuff in the garage so that is not an option for my stockpile. Funny as I work in the garage. Here is my bathroom stockpile my other cabinet has the t.p. Let me tell you your cabinets are bigger than you think they are I never thought I'd have the room and here is over ten things of baby wash, toothpaste, deodorant, toothbrushes, razors, shampoo, conditioner and other things Listerine, hair products, band aids, tissue, neosporin, chap stick and so on it's amazing what fits. The best thing about having so much stuff is when you have a friend in need and you can go through your cupboards and give them food, cleaning supplies, toiletries. It's so awesome. I am soooooo dreaming of shelf reliance.

Stash of Stuff installment 1

I was talking to my sister-in-law Olivia about couponing (she's just getting started) I told her I would post some pictures of my stash (or stashes in my case) I have stuff stashed everywhere in my house. Anywhere I can think of I stash stuff. In my son's closet is where all of my dry pack #10 cans are. The cupboards above my dryer my laundry room is my new pantry along with my hall closet, my bathroom and of course my kitchen cupboards and even under my bed is a plastic storage container with boxes of pasta. I'm dreaming of a Shelf Reliance can rotation system. If you have one don't even tell me because I would be too jealous. (unless you don't want yours anymore and you want to give it to me!!)

I thought I would focus on my stash of toiletries. Probably because it is the most together. All of my other stashes are split up and in one of the various locations.

Here is a picture of my vanity cupboards in the bathroom.

On the top left is just a basket of hair brushes and stuff we are currently using, middle top basket is overflowing with men's and women's deodorant, top right basket has hair styling products and I think a couple bottles of conditioner.

Bottom left is overflowing with body wash I think I have at least 8 bottles, middle is shampoo and right has lotion and face wash and stuff like that. And most all of this stuff was free or super cheap meaning less that a dollar but mostly free.

an up close shot of the shampoo basket.

At the sink I have three cupboards (for some reason in my small house in our one bathroom we have pretty decent storage) in the one on the right the top shelf has toilet paper (not pictured), and the bottom pictured has a basket of toothpaste and a basket of regular bar soap.

This one on the left has a hodge podge of stuff , some extra shaving cream, (in the top drawer is where I keep all of the nail polish and spa stuff) On the bottom shelf is where the liquid hand soap is and on top of that I have several razors, and in the drawer is toothbrushes and some more razors.

OK well that's the bathroom. Stay keep watching for another view of my stashes.

And share your stash with us.
