Somebody inquired, since I stockpile when I find a great sale, what exactly do I stockpile.
So here are the specific items I'll buy in quantity when it goes to a rock bottom price. Basically it includes the items which are staples for us.
Foods
* Olive Oil
* Canned tomato products(tomato paste, crushed/diced/pureed tomatoes)
* Canned Green Chiles
* Single serve fruits(for Hubs lunches)
* Cheese
* Meats(all kinds except sliced deli meats)
* Fish
* Butter
* Pie Crust mix
* Oatmeal
* Coffee(whole bean)
* Tea Bags
* Chicken or Veg. Stock
* Panko
* Flour
* Sugar
* Pasta
* Canned Chili
* Reduced Fat Mayo/Mustard/Ketchup
Non-Foods
* Toilet Paper
* Baby Wipes
* Facial Tissues
* Garbage Bags
* Dish Soap
* Laundry Detergent
* Dishwasher Detergent
* Shampoo
* Deodorant
* Toothpaste
* Toothbrushes
* Q-Tips
* Razors
* Cough Drops
* Pain Relievers
This all doesn't include any canning or freezing of fresh produce/fruit I do every late Summer/early Fall. I like to can my pepper relish and tomatoes. I don't can jellies or jams basically because we just don't eat much of that sort of thing(we prefer to just eat fruits in season). I like to freeze/preserve green beans/yellow wax beans and sometimes corn on the cob, red and yellow bell pepper strips and puree pumpkin(if I can get those items very cheaply and locally).
While I do buy things like spices, spaghetti sauce, rice, dressings, peanut butter and raisins in quantities, when it goes on sale I don't really stockpile these things. Like the salad dressing this week.....it was an awesome price ($1 for a 16 oz. bottle)but I don't need 12 bottles, 3 was enough. Same with jarred spaghetti sauce-I like to have some on hand for those nights I can't get it together to make my own sauce so I have 3-4 jars in stock. And spices lose their potency if kept too long so those I don't overbuy when RBP. I keep a supply of these other items but we just don't go through it fast enough to warrant using up my limited stockpile space on them.
So do you stockpile?
What are the specific items you tend to stockpile?
