My Stockpile

<---------Check it out!
My couponing total for the summer is over $600. Not too shabby.

On the show Extreme Couponing, the women are IN.LOVE with their stockpiles. I can understand. They worked hard to amass 72 bottles of hand soap. I don't have that kind of space or patience for turning a whole room in my house into a grocery store.

HOWEVER....It is impossible to do extreme couponing without gathering a stockpile. You just aren't maximizing the savings potential if you don't use all the coupons you have to score that good deal. I certainly don't have the mass quantities of coupons that the people on the show do, but here's what is in my stockpile

9 boxes of brownie mix (It was almost 15, but even though they were 50 cents a box, I couldn't justify having 15 boxes of brownie mix, so I gave the rest of my coupons to a lady in the aisle)
10 boxes of cereal
8 toothpastes
7 toothbrushes
8 men's body wash
8 sticks of deodorant
7 each shampoo/conditioner
9 boxes of tampons
6 bottles of laundry detergent

I'm pretty pleased with this because it is all stuff we use. I don't have 132 bottles of Frank's Hot sauce hanging out in my pantry.

Anyone want some brownies?!
