Do they share photos on here?

I stock pile no more than 6 mths. I am careful about watching the expiration dates and like Amanda with 3 kids cereal doesn't last long in our house. If I don't need cereal for my family I get it anyways because it is free and stop by my local food pantry! Many of us couponaholics try to share the wealth! I could send you pictures if you want to PM me your email address. As far as storage my husband has been cleaning out every cabinet in my house ever since I began couponing. I'm not very organized but he is thank goodness. I get the bargains and he finds the room. He can't believe what I bring home for the money I spend. Plus I never run out of food!! Also I try to keep the snacks and kids cereals in a separate closet so that they won't be tempted. When the cereal or snacks get low I just add a few things for them to choose from.
Hope this helps!
