I love your article. I do this with everything from food to school supplies and i save an average between 60-90% each time i do..we work all the money saving angles when stocking up with sales,loss leaders,coupons and rebates! we have the conveince of having exactly what we want need and use right in our home whenever we wish. so theres no shopping when the weathers bad or we're busy or the kids get sick. Plus the money we save on gas to us is priceless, Because we stock up all at once when we go to shop for those things. And at a savings of 60-90% on food and goods, the savings equals up to what i would make at a part time job. Which is great, makes our meager income spread so much farther.
STOCK PILING ROCKS! i have been doing it for like 3 years and i am beginning to teach my kids the art of doing it. Now i no longer get bored i get a thrill each time i can save 60-90% on things we use and need everyday. It makes us feel more in control financially as a family.
