Those items you see at a flea market?

A Quick Couponing Stockpile Tour ~ Our attempt at being organized

Yep, those places are notorious for switching genuine products for crappy fake liquids. Those 5 gallon Tide detergent? Yup, crap stuff. That Paul Mitchell or Biolage shampoo? You are probably buying Dollar Tree shampoo inside those fancy bottles. I think not. One of the popular websites that I visit often is Coupon Information Center.

They are full of valuable information! This is where you can read tips on ethical couponing, updates on the latest fraudulent coupon arrests and even view all the counterfeit coupons that are being used! Click HERE to check it out! The last bullet on the page shows that stockpile sales is strictly prohibited.

There are many risks involved when selling and buying stockpiles: Only Store Items In The Space You Have Available I think we've all seen an episode or two of Extreme Couponers, and a few of these people's houses look like a cluttered grocery store or a bunker to hunker down in case of emergency. There is stuff stored everywhere.

That is not ideal. You need to designate a spot, or a few key spots, for your stockpile and once those spots are filled, you've collected as much as you can keep in your home until you use some of it.

Remember, there is a difference between having enough to use within a reasonable time, bought at a good price, versus hoarding such large amounts that you'll not realistically use all of the stockpile in the next ten years! If you find you have way too much of something please go ahead and donate the excess to charity or re-sell it before it expires or gets so old no one will want it.

Then, stick to the space you've designated for these items without expanding your stockpile out further. Shelves Are Ideal: Think Like A Grocery Store You won't have as much stuff as an actual grocery store, but the ideal way to stockpile, if you've got room, is to have a space designated with sturdy shelves that are secured to the wall where you can place many of your items.

You want to group like items together so you can find them, such as all paper goods, laundry supplies, cleaning supplies, personal care products, food items, etc. Line items in rows, keeping things neat and orderly. This allows you to "see" what you've got so you know when you have enough, and don't need to stockpile more of an item, and also to access it when you do want to use it. If you don't have room for shelves you can also just use places like under beds, linen closets, or a shelf or two of the pantry.

Typically in those situations you'll want to place the items either on a shelf designated just for that purpose, or put the items inside a container to keep them organized. No matter where you choose to hold your stockpile though, you need to think about the conditions. For example, basements can be damp, and that may not be ideal for certain food items.

Similarly, the garage can be a good place for some of your stockpile, but think about the temperature extremes, which can cause food spoilage, as well as access to different areas of your home by pests. Only keep items in a location where they'll not deteriorate in quality from being stored there. There is no point in accumulating a lot of items if your storage method ruins them before you have a chance to use them!

In addition, ideally your stockpile will be in one or two locations instead of spread out all over the house. Some people separate their food and non-food stockpiles, which is fine. But again, having just a few locations to check is important. I understand that depending on your home's layout and space available having just one area designated for your stockpile may not be enough. If you need to separate items into groups, try to make it make sense where you place things as much as possible, such as personal care products in the bathroom closet, or canned goods in the pantry, etc.

What you don't want to happen is to stash a large quantity of something somewhere, and then completely forget about it. That is wasting, and clutter. That's why the fewer places you keep these items the better to make sure you don't forget what you have. Rotation, Rotation, Rotation!

Just like in a grocery store you want to stock the newer items in the back of your stockpile, so you are keeping everything fresh.

This is even more important for food items, such as a reader, Meg's pantry, where she considered this exact issue with her can rotators, for example. But really anything can expire or just plain get old. Obviously, things like paper goods last much longer then certain food items, but just get in the habit of always rotating everything you purchase to avoid problems or wasting. When you come back from your shopping trip go ahead and take the time to place things neatly on shelves or in bins to keep with your organizational system.

Also make sure you add the newer items to the back of the shelves, while moving the older items to the front for easy access. All of the organizational methods above will help you do this.

Sturdy Shelves Are Important Because Of The Weight Of Stockpiled Items

In addition, keeping an inventory will also help you use what you've got. You can see a glimpse of my shoe organizer turned spice rack on the far left. I love that thing! This room has a long way to go. The big shelves are just heavy duty plastic garage shelves from Home Depot , and the drawers and bins are the cheapy ones you just get at Target.

These shelves and drawers work well for personal items. The book shelf is actually an old cheap Dr. These are just wooden boards on shelving brackets that hang on the wall.

I have no excuse for bad breath or unshaven legs! There is a large supply of those types of things in our couponing stockpile, mostly from the drug store trips. Last but definitely not least is my can organizer.
