Okay, I totally need a big sister

Beckyn3kids · 04-02-2009, 08:56 AM

So, I have been surfing the net again. I saw pictures of some people's stockpiles (I googled "Picture of my coupon stockpile"). Some of these people have big ole shelving units dedicated to their stockpile, and I decided I need help!! I have a small stockpile in the basement, but it isnt anywhere near these people! I have like 4 rolls of Bounty paper towels, 6 tubes of toothpaste and lots of boxed food (Hamburger helper, Boxed potatoes, fruit snacks, rice krispie treats). How do I get all these soaps and cleaners? I had some coupons for like scrubbing bubbles 1.00 off, those double here at Kroger so I get 2.00 off but their scrubbing bubbles is like 5.99! Its only 2.50 at Walmart so if is doesn't double there it's still cheaper! I am forever running out of and paying too much for cleaning supplies, toilet paper, wipes, kids soap (thats a big one), shampoo and conditioner, and its killing me!! Can someone team up with me and show me the ropes? PLEASE!!

I wish I could help! I too would love to get a stockpile going but never seem to get the right coupons, sales, or at the time have the money! But I do know your at the right place for that...best of luck!

It truly is all about watching for sales and combining the sales with coupons. I am a huge believer in buying coupons off ebay, or a ton of newspapers when there are good coupons.

I have been laughed at... but it works! It just takes some time to figure out.

And if you have CVS or Walgreens around, that makes it easier. I <3 CVS!!!

There are lots of sites that can educate you about some of those places and how the deals work. google cvs deals or walgreens deals... that might help you.

Good luck!

alot of my shampoo and HBA are from clearance sections, that is when the $1 coupon is great or even the .75 if they double! i have gotten all my shampoo conditioner for free now, and most of my body soap almost free!

I'm a huge stockpiler. The secret to getting cleaning stuff for cheap is to wait until Kroger runs it on sale, then combine your coupon savings with that for an awesome deal. I usually never pay more than $.50 for windex, scrubbing bubbles, lysol, etc. Well since Kroger stopped selling the 4 packs of Cottonelle for .99 (and I'd use a .50 coupon to get it for free) my 6 foot by 5 foot pile of TP is not growing. But still again I just stack sales and coupons. For example, when KMart was doubling they had Scott 12 pack extra soft for $5.50 and I used a $2 catalina (from Kroger) to get it for $1.50. It's all about watching the ads. I'd be more than happy to be your big sis', neighbor.

Oh yeah and right now at Kroger when you buy 3 it spits out a catalina for $3/3 Johnson or Desitin products. Use that coupon to 'buy' 3 more J&J Buddies soaps (.99 each) and you'll get another $3/3 catalina. Wash, rinse and repeat to get unlimited free soaps (as long as the promotion is going on).

I am also new to the site, however, I have learned you might want to start checking out the pharmacys for those types of items..sounds crazy cause they are usually expensive...however they have sales and you can stack coupons and they give lots of rebates which you can use on future purchases..gl and happy shopping
