My Shopping Trip: Restocking the Stockpile

The links in the post below may be affiliate links. Read the full disclosure.

I bet you have been wondering where my shopping trips have been.  Well, they haven’t been.  For the last 4 weeks or so, we have been living off our stockpile.  It’s been heaven.  But, my freezer is empty.  Well, except for some Luigi’s Italian Ice, Polly-o Cheese and a few other odds and ends.  But, pretty much empty.

I do have to say that my shelves are pretty much still stocked up.  But, the cereal is looking a little sad now.  I feel some cereal deals coming along soon 😉

The one thing that is great about living off your stockpile is, although your stockpile goes down, the money in our grocery envelope goes up.  When I opened it up today to take money out.  It was stuffed.  What I great feeling that is.

With a stuffed grocery envelope and an empty freezer, I figured it was about time to shop.  And, although the sales weren’t rockin my socks off.  I think I did pretty well.

I think that was pretty good  for not having shopped in 4 weeks.  The beauty of stockpiling and couponing is that, even though I have not shopped in 4 weeks, I still have a great supply of health & beauty aid, paper goods, cleaning supplies and various other items.  So, even when I have to replenish a lot of food, I still don’t have to spend money on all that other stuff.  Ya, just gotta love couponing 🙂
