The Stockpile

Well after 5 months of couponing and stockpiling I now have a collection of items that I can wait until they get on sale...for FREE. Yes, the following items I will be getting FREE for the rest of my life:
Free Items:
Disposable Razors
Toothpaste
Tooth Brushes
Shampoo
Body Wash
Deoderant
Pain Relievers
Maalox
Lotion
Cat Food

I've also discovered lists from the Krazy Coupon Lady that contains items which you should be paying under 1.00 for and under .5o for:

Under $1:
Cereal
Peanut butter
Crackers
Cookie, brownie, and cookie mix
Granola bars
Chips
Salad Dressing
Shredded cheese (some is frozen)
Bagged candy
Pasta
Rice mixes

Under $0.50
Canned goods including soup and vegetables
Fruit snacks
Condiments
Crackers, cookie mixes, brownie mixes and cake mixes


These lists are helpful as guidelines when I check out the deals for the week on Coupon Mom because I can judge which items to purchase each week. For example, if disposable razors are on sale after coupons for .50 each, I know to ignore it because I have enough stocked up so I can wait until disposable razors are free. Conversely, if I see that boxes of pasta are on sale for .18 each after coupons, I know to jump in on that deal to add to my pasta stockpile.
