I have my stock piles that I add different items weekly.
~Bathing items soap,body washes,shampoo,toothpaste,toothbrushes,mouse/hairspray,deodrants,razors,tp
~Kitchen all purpose cleaner,dish soap,sponges,trash bags
~Laundry room Shout,laundry detergent
~Cooking canned items,meat to deep freeze,snacks,fresh fruit,bread to freeze,cereal,
This helps me stay ahead & never run out also I have a cash withdrawl limit so I use coupons,clearance & add matching

What can I do next?

I don't think I stock pile anything but my husband has this weird obsession with canned diced tomatoes. We have like six cans at all times. :/

Um, I feel so utterly unprepared. I am not a big pre-planner, therefore I am not a "stocker", per se. I don't like to buy more than I need.

I don't "stockpile" anything really, but the I find that some of the items you mentioned are handy to have "on deck" when you finish O. product.
I usually have toothpaste, body wash, pump hand soap, contact lens stuff on hand. And some boxes of pasta, canned veggies, soups, crackers and peanut butter.

answers from Daytona Beach on

i don't "stockpile" anything. summertime means storms (hurricanes/tornadoes/power outages) i could stockpiile toilet paper, etc. but i don't have the space for it. besides the bedroom closets that are already piled with board games, etc. we only have two closets in my house. one has movies and shoes, and the other linens. and we don't have a pantry. sometimes i will go to Harvest Time and buy a few banana boxes of Propel water and juices, and get bread (because it's free) and mac & cheese, etc. but that's not too often, only about once a month. my husband doesn't like to stockpile because he says it's a waste of space and certain things will go bad.

Things that don't expire and things you use.

I've been watching Extreme Couponing and amazed at their stock piles.

answers from Sioux City on

I also stockpile and here is my list...
Kitchen- about the same as yours
laundry room-stain remover and laundry soap
cooking-cereal, oatmeal, cake mix, canned fruit and veggies, and bread. (sure there's more I'm forgetting here.)
Bathroom-toothpaste, body wash, shampoo, and my razors since disposable, deodrants, bug spray, and toliet paper.
I guess I can add baby wipes to that list and usually diapers for the first couple months when baby is born like we did with our first and most likely will with this next baby.
