Beginning a stockpile

After getting myself into couponing and stockpiling, I realized that there is a lot of good information on the internet, but there is also a lot of misleading information on the internet about stockpiling for a baby! Stockpiling is something that every mother should do (in my opinion.) It requires some work up front, but in the end soon to be mommies will rejoyce with how much time (and money) they save from stockpiling! 

This blog is intended to help new mommies build stockpiles for their little ones arrival, learn how to find those deals that will make mommies happy and share links for coupons and sales so that mommies can get the best possible deal for baby products!!!

Before we start, we need to go over the basic W's of stockpiling!

WHO can build a stockpile? Anyone and everyone should have a basic stockpile of items in their house. This stockpile for a newly married couple may look different for a couple with a baby, or a couple who has multiple children who are older. Stockpiling is something that EVERYONE should take advantage of!!! 

WHY should I stockpile? Stockpiles are great for busy people. It always happens that you run out of toilet paper or deoderant when you seem to really need it. With a stockpile though, you wont run out of those essential living items, which if you've ever run out of toilet paper after a #2, you know why its important to keep some extra toilet paper on hand!

WHAT should I stockpile? Everything except for fresh foods such as fruits and veggies, meats and dairy products. That means non perishable food items, household essentials, personal care products, cleaning products, baby essentials, you name it, as long as it cant go bad, you should stockpile it!!!

WHERE should I store my stockpile? How large your stockpile is, and how many items you stockpile always depends on the space that you have available. Before you begin your stockpile, this will be a key consideration in what and how much you stockpile!

WHEN should I stockpile? As soon as you are done reading my blog you should begin!!! :) 

and last but not least...

HOW am I going to do this!? It takes some work up front, from looking for sales, clipping coupons, and doing the math, but practice will make perfect and before you know it, you are going to be a professional stockpiler! 

Check out my next blog which will start with stockpiling for a baby!
