Stock pile pictures

I by NO means have some gigantic stock pile... but I do pretty well I think. :)

Here are the pics of my recently re-organized stock pile! If you are wanting to do this as well I will be happy to share my tips!

I keep a list in the room of how many of everything I have. That way I ALWAYS know what I have on hand. It makes it easy to run out to the room and look at what I have while i'm making my shopping lists.

I keep it simple. I buy the things that I can get for less than $2.00. If I get them super cheap I will buy as many as I can. But my limit is always 5 at a time. :) Just keeps things simple. If you can get it free though and you actually USE it... i'd be stocking up!!!!

When do you quit stocking up?

Question folks--if you have been working on a stock pile for a few months...when do you quit stocking and live off of it?

I'm by NO means an extreme couponer, but I have managed to stock up on house hold items and keep them on hand for when I need them. But I guess I don't know when you actually start living off of the stock pile?

Any thoughts on this? When is enough-enough? When do you quit stocking up and live off of what you have already?
