My toiletry pantry/closet was long overdo for a re-organization and weeding out day. It dawned on me today, well first, as it always does…that we are able to give so much more because of couponing! However that’s not what I want to discuss today. The reality for me was that since it had becomeso unorganized I didn’t really know what I had or didn’t have. I was shopping the deals and sticking to my budget, but perhaps I wasn’t spending that money as wisely as I could have been. I explain a bit more in the video above, but basically – just because something is a GOOD deal or even free/close to free doesn’t mean you have to buy it. You could end up like I was with way too much of one thing while my stock in another area was getting low. By saving the money I spent to stockpile on body wash for my husband I could have stocked up on deodorant for myself.
Do you have a stockpile? How do you organize it and keep track of what you have to avoid over-stocking/under-stocking issues? If you have pictures or a video that you’d like to share of your stockpile, send me an email! It can be of your food, toiletries, or make-up – whatever it is that you stockpile to save money – I’m sure The Frugal Find readers would love to see it! So grab your camera, snap a few pics or a short video and send it on over!

I have one question..
Sunscreen expires right? If so wont yours go bad before you use it all?
Also..wow you guys must have a big house with all of your stockpiling. Im jealous!! I just dont have the space for all of that.
Stevie – quite the opposite, but great question! We’re actually in a very small townhouse. Yes Sunblock does expire, but we have a pool outside our front door and we’re all VERY pale, plus the neighbors plan on me bringing out extra for their kids too
i stock pile moisturisers, facial products, mostly from avon their anew products, i get them when they are on the demo and about 75% cheaper, i also get alot of stuff out of the outlet, i never pay full prize for facial stuff, have a picture but dont know how to add it with this email
Oooo yay for pools
do you ever go shopping at your pantry?
I’m coming to your house with my laundry Julia…LOL
You are doing a great job of stockpiling. I have a pretty good start I think
I love seeing your stockpile! I have tons of men’s deodorant too (not many for me though). I like the 2 bins you have down low for smaller products. Thanks for sharing.
I’d send you a picture of my stockpile but I don’t know how to attach something on your form, and I can’t find an actual email address to send an email! I’m technically challenged…forgive me.
I just started couponing and stockpiling a few month’s ago…my husband thinks I’m nuts. I just shared your video with him…..he doesn’t think I’m so crazy anymore!!!
Wow great job on your stockpiling!! I am unable to do so since my family has brand specific. I am a brand junkie Love new products! However my husband always has to have the new Gillette Fusion razors and goes thru a new blade every day!
It really does get expensive, I get really excited to see a sale and a coupon even though we are not able to collect a stock pile it is nice to get a good price one. LOL
If you are not going to use those razors maybe you should try selling them on ebay!!!! they go for alot of money, I have looked but I was always worried about them being not really purchased. You have your website to show that you bought them. So I think you should cash in and do something fun with your $$$ Seriously they go for alot of money on ebay. Good Luck
