CVS Catch-Up....Last Week's Febreeze & Toiletries Haul

I did get out last week to CVS a couple of time to take advantage of the Febreeze deals and a couple other deals. I only use the Febreeze Pet Eliminator(I have 3 stinky dogs!)so anything else I got as part of the ECB deals was going straight into the Yard Sale pile.

Most of the Febreeze and both Dawn Qs were from a home mailer(except for the B1G1 Qs).

I'll Show You Mine...

I've been clipping coupons and practicing the Art of the Coupon now for just over 6 weeks.


On Saturday, I put all my toiletry steals & deals together and took this picture. I guess you would now call this a Stockpile.....





This is only the stuff I got for free or pretty darn close to free, up to March 12th. This doesn't include the armloads of stuff the family is now using and it's ONLY Toiletries(except for the 3 packs of gum on the bottom right side). There is also the PAPER Products Pile, the CLEANING Products Pile and the humongous FOOD & DRINK Pile.


With calculator in hand, I figured a rough estimate of $788.00 retail value on this, as they call it here, turlitrees lot. I paid approx. $20 out of pocket cash for all this and that included all the taxes.


I need to make some plans to utilize some of this now. Like taking the glucose meters to the free clinic & some of the toiletries to the local women's domestic violence shelter. Seriously, no one needs 14 tubes of toothpaste!


I've found that over these weeks, I've gotten a little more picky about what I try to score. I no longer try for the Glade products, Scenty Sprays & things like Fabric Softeners usually, as those are somethings we just don't use. Also Tums and Gastro-type medicines. This family has indestructible gastrointestinal tracts it seems.lolol
I don't wear make-up but I've gotten a bit(not pictured)for #1 daughter. She snatches that away right quick!

So, how am I doing with the Hounding??

And more importantly, WHERE do I put all this stuff??!!??!!

I really really need my dining room table back.

Every crevice is filled in my house and garage! My pantry is filled, the trunk of my car is packed, the shelves in the garage are groaning under the weight of too many canned goods ready to topple over.....I need to organize it all and FAST!!

I may have to evict a child and take over their bedroom.

Hey, now there's an idea.....

Evict the surly teen du jour, gain some storage space.

Hmmmmmm.

"Sorry hon....it was a choice between you & your stuff or the Bic Razor Stash. The razors keep my legs silky smooth & you keep my blood pressure up by arguing with me. Sorry, you'll have to find someone else to stress out for the next 2 yrs."

***Poof! Sluggy wakes from her dream.***

Seriously though, how much space does your total stash take up in your house?

I've seen other people's stash photos but tell me how much space you use for it.
