They are grown now and during covid pandemic they raided the stash a few times, so I got the last laugh. My girls used to laugh about my pantry when they were young and I was paid monthly. I make bread, cookie and cakes from scratch. Pasta, oats, rice and dry beans in quart jars or the square ziplock containers with lids that stack on each other.Plenty of canned goods for two adults and occasional grandkids. The baskets hold 12 cans each and sturdy enough two baskets can stack on top of each other. Cans of fruit, veggies, soup/broth, and bean/protein such as tuna/ peanut butter. I used 4 wire flat rectangle baskets from the dollar tree. I have two kitchen cabinets with shelves as my pantry. I have never lived in a house with a formal pantry. As I explain in the rules of stockpiling, you should store what you eat and eat what you store. If you don’t cook with cream of chicken soups, pick something else to stockpile instead. If you don’t eat a lot of pasta, don’t stockpile it. Of course, you can and should adapt that to what is right for you. That’s a basic list of what I stockpile and what I believe could work for any family.

Here’s a free printable of seasonal sale cycles, if you want to know what to buy and when. When stockpiling food items, my goal is to buy enough to get me through 6 months, depending on the seasonal sale cycles. If there are no expiration dates (like on paper products and powdered laundry detergent), I will stock up as much as I have space for and can afford in my budget. There are certain items that I try to always have on hand. Having a stockpile allows me to purchase items at their lowest possible prices when I plan ahead. If you want to find the best deals to build your stockpile on a budget, read Crystal’s ebook and watch the savings stack up! Seriously, I could have written this book! It is that similar to what I do.

How did I learn to do this? For me, it is second habit but if you want to know all my tips and secrets you need to check out Crystal Paine’s Grocery Ebook! It is the best grocery guide around (and a cheap one too!) that describes my process exactly. This is the rock-bottom price list I use as my guide so I know when to stockpile the best deals. That’s a great savings and all I had to do was plan ahead a bit. By doing so, on this product alone, I saved at least $16.80. I bought a case to last me through the year. During Thanksgiving, by combining sales and coupons, I was able to get cans for $0.40 or less. Normally, this product (which I use for delicious poppy seed chicken) costs $1.09. Let me give you an example of what is in my stockpile and how I build it. November is a great time to stock up on canned goods like cream of chicken soup. That is how you build a stockpile your family will really use on a budget. Make a list of the things you use regularly and watch for good deals to add those items to your stockpile. You can store a stockpile wherever you have space. Someday, I’d like to get some simple can rotation systems like these but for now, I just stack things in rows and rotate the items myself. My stockpile is in my small kitchen pantry as well as on a couple shelves in the basement.

A stockpile is built over time and customized to fit the needs of your family so it will save you money.
