6 Month Stockpile Pics !!!!






Here are my shelves after only 6 months of couponing.  I have come a long way thanks to my friend Heather, Afullcup and Hip2Save.  Without those 3 combined i wouldn't have made it this far.  Couponing has saved our family alot of money.  Anyone can coupon but u have to know the "right" time to use ur coupon. 

I hope u all enjoy all of the pics that i have posted to my blog.  Leave comments in the comment section if u would.  Thanks so much have a wonderful evening !!!


Organization Pics of my Coupon Room




Here is a pic of all of the Dial Handsoap that i got for free i have around 60 of these.  I bought a 10 gallon tote.  On the bottom i have them standing up then i laid a piece of cardboard to seperate the layers and i laid down the top layer so they would fit.

Then on the outside of the tote i labeled it with what was inside the tote that way it would make it easier to know what is inside.  I also tagged the top right corner with the price it was then i put how much i paid for that item.  So on this particular tag on the top right it says $1.00 p. Free (p means paid).






Ok here is my Oatmeal that i got the top pic is how i have this all together.  I opened each box of oatmeal and seperated each flavor into piles.  Then i put the "same" flavors in a gallon size baggie and labeled them with the flavors and the expiration date on them. 

The tag on these i labeled Oatmeal and the tag in the top right says $1.98 p. Free





Here is the Keebler Snacks that i gotten at Walmart.

The top right of the tag says .68 cents ea p. 18 cents






Here is the Fruit Snacks i got when Kroger had the good deal on them.  I took all of the snacks out of the boxes and tossed them into this Tote b/c that way i could have more room on the shelf. 

On the outside of this tote i labeled it Fruit Snacks and no price in the upper right hand corner b/c each box was a different price !!!  These are great for after school snacks and even lunches i think the kids are set for awhile lol lol !!!!





Ok here is the great Dial Dish Soap deal i got at Walmart.  I have about 20 more of these to get. 

On the top right of the tag i have .97 p. Free all of these Dial soaps were free.  Its nice when i run out of soap i can send one of the kids down to the "room" to get more !!!

Coupon Train

Hey Guys !!! My friend Heather and I  are interested in getting a coupon train set up. For those of you that aren't familiar with what a coupon train is you would make a wishlist of either coupons you are looking for or just products you use that you would want coupons for. Then every week you would get an envelope of coupons together and mail them to someone on the list and then you would get an envelope of coupons from someone else. This is a great way to get rid of some of the coupons you won't use and get more of the ones you need.

Right now Heather and I are just in the beginning stages and trying to figure out who is interested. We haven't decided exactly how it will be run yet, but we would like to see how many people are interested.

If you are interested or you know anyone that is let either of us  know!! Also let us know if you have any questions!!  When sending an email plz put in the subject line : Coupon Train so we can get to those emails quickly thanks.
