So like I said I have only been couponing for about six weeks, but I have already built a pretty nice stockpile. Husband and I were figuring out our menu for the next week and we realized we only need some cans of rotel and some green peppers to make dinner for the whole week. So here is some of my ever growing stockpile.
This is my cabinet where the majority of our stuff is. You can't really tell but the cabinet is pretty deep because it is a corner cabinet. This used to be our pots and pans cabinet, but as the stockpile grew we had to re-purpose it. My favorite part about it is the top shelf that we moved to house our pasta and the bottom shelf which is absolutely filled with canned goods- soups, veggies, chef boyardee, etc.
Then I have this small cabinet over our stove that we are using for more pasta and rice. Publix had an amazing deal on this ronzoni pasta a couple of weeks ago. It is "quick cook" and it literally cooks in 3 minutes and is super tender. We also just acquired a bunch of rice and pasta roni on sale at Publix and the zatarain's rice mixes that were a great deal at the Kroger.
Then there is my overwhelming abundance of corn, my favorite veggie. I got so much of this at the Publix sale for so cheap, I just couldn't pass on 15-cents-per-can veggies. There are 45 cans in this cabinet and probably another 25 or so in the other cabinet.
And then of course there is the freezer, a main source of contention. Some of the best deals I find are in the frozen foods section, but our freezer is pretty small. Since we live in the residence hall it isn't really possible to buy a separate freezer or anything (not like I could afford one now anyway). We have a bunch of those totino's pizzas that I got for around 20 cents each and we have been stocking up on some really cheap chicken this week at Kroger. A lot of the other stuff in the freezer is stuff my mom makes for us and we freeze and bring back home, which is really awesome. So now I have to decide- really cheap chicken or mom's home cooked food?
