A word of caution, however, to other people. Stockpile only on items that you would really consume. Stockpiling is a great practice but if you do not pay much attention to the expiration date, your stock would be worthless. Great post!

I am a huge fan of stockpiling and it has slashed my grocery budget to practically nothing. Don't forget, you can (and should) stockpile non-food items like toiletries and cleaning supplies. This week, Walgreens is once again paying customers to buy toothpaste (buy 2 tubes for $3, use a printable from the internet $1.50 off on each tube, pay just the tax and then get a $1 register reward so in an 8% tax state you make about .70 per 2 tubes you buy). There is no reason anyone with a CVS, Walgreens, or Rite Aid should ever pay for toothpaste, shampoo, razors, etc. You can also get deals on food items at drugstores too. For example, this week CVS has crackers (Ritz, Wheat Thins, Triscuits) on sale 5 for $5 and there were $2 off 2 coupons out a few weeks ago- I now have 15 boxes of Ritz crackers that I paid $0 for. As for cleaning supplies, etc.- if you live in an area with a Kmart, watch for Kmart double coupon days. Periodically, Kmarts will double coupons up to $2, and you can snag a lot of great stuff for free or close to it by using these high valued coupons doubled. Great article.

They'll last through a nuclear winter, and I buy the whole grain pasta so it makes for healthy meals. Keep some chicken stock near by, as well as canned meats like chicken and tuna. Once you have the stockpile just turn on the food network and you can likely make a variation of whatever they're cooking (unless it's a statue made of chocolate).
