Where do I begin??? I have lots of shampoo (I put it in my handsoap dispensers too), conditioner, body wash (I love Suave), BBQ sauce, mustard, pasta sauce, pasta, rice, Reynolds Release foil, Reynolds oven bags, Reynolds Slower Cooker bags (new item for me), Christmas wrapping paper, Christmas cards, laundry detergent, I have quite a few 12 packs of Pepsi, toilet paper, tissues,and an abundance of yarn.
I have been know to go to Walmart, and if they have a cart full of yarn on clearance, and the price looks right, take the whole cart.
Well ladies, I better go for now. Take care. Norma
Well, the stockpiles in my house came in handy this week. My kids came home from school with lists of items that they were asked to donate (to a local women's shelter and a food pantry). I was able to fill a nice size bag for each of them to bring.
Getting these things on sale or almost free with coupons means that I can donate more to people who need it.
My biggest stockpiles are usually of laundry detergent, lotion and shampoos and conditioners. And Christmas wrapping paper, yet I can't stop myself from raiding the sales every year after Christmas!!
I too buy after Christmas when things are on sale and generally that is Christmas paper/cards and some things I think would be good for a b'day or next years Christmas gift etc.
And stock up on certain things as some months are pretty lean for me $$wise and not having to buy those things at that time is a blessing

Probably my whole food pantry - especially pickles. I've had coupons & they've been on sale so they were practically free. Same thing for cereal & I overbought on cocoa. I got a big package at Sam's & then noticed I had another package. That'll last for quite some time.
I also have more yarn than I will ever use, most likely.
Barbszy, How clever of you to think of getting those items that way and having enough on hand for your children to donate.
DH just went to Costco, so I have a stockpile of toilet paper. Also, causal shoes because I have a lot of problems with my feet.

Mine is tinned tomatoes! I don't know why but in my family we always need to have a supply of tinned tomatoes in our pantries. This is closely followed by tinned baked beans.
Anna, I'm impressed by your not having to buy laundry detergent since 2001.
We don't have the same amount of coupons off items that you have in the US, we do have BOGOF's etc., that helps.
