My stockpile, that is. Or my
home storage.
Poh-tay-toh, poh-tah-toh... Whatever you'd like to call it, it has begun. After only a month of clipping coupons and matching sales ads, I have accumulated a decent stockpile. And it's so easy. The work is already done for me, so all I really have to do is turn on the computer, visit my coupon gurus' websites, print out a list, and head to the stores. Notice I said
stores. Yes. I now shop at more than one place. It's the only way to get all the great deals.
I write about how simple this is, and in theory, it is. However, a certain television program has caused quite a stir, and what used to be a casual jaunt down the condiment aisle has become an all-out roller derby event, loaded with shopping carts and coupon binders as obstacles.
At any rate, and even when I find tumble weeds where the ketchup is supposed to be, I have to say I've been pretty successful. For a month of work! Who knew that grocery shopping could make me so happy? (Did I mention that, over the last month, in my weekly shopping trips to two different grocery stores and three different drug stores, I have completely stocked my pantry, fridge, and built a stockpile of toiletries, cleaning supplies, and non-perishables for under $100?!?!)

| Cleaning supplies are expensive! (But not with coupons!!!) |

| Holy condiments Batman! |
