I out of this one. I've been using mine up in May, so this month I am starting to restock.

Here's my tip. I use it up in May as alot of after school events are happening. I start to restock (if need be) in June after kids are out of school and I usually have time perusing ads while waiting for 2 hr dance practice to be over.

I am in on this. I don't really have a big stockpile in my pantry, except maybe cereal. I will try not to buy anymore cereal until it is all eaten. This will be hard because dh along with my dd like the sugary kids cereals & it's hard to get them to eat the cheerios or chex cereal that I buy. However I will put my foot down on this & say that we do not get any more boxes of cerel until the others are eaten up.
I don't have a stockpile of shampoos but I have a stockpile of different scented lotions. When I get coupons in the mail from Bath & Body Works I am so tempted to go buy some more. I will not buy any more lotion until mine are all used up.

I'm on board. I won't need to buy any toiletries or household products. My thing is I see a sale and I have a coupon then I buy it and put it in the pantry. Maybe I'll just skip looking at the Target,Kmart,CVS ads altogether then I won't be tempted.

Money will be tight so I will try and us up as much as I can in my pantry as well.

I need to clean out my freezers so this is a good time to use up what I have. So far this month I've done great, buying only milk and some fresh veggies.

I need to clean out my freezers as well. I went to a huge meat sale about a month ago (buy one get one free pork tenderloins, turkey tenderloins, chicken breasts and lots and lots of hot dogs!) So I know I have tons of stuff in there! I also need to clean out my cupboard. I have about 6 different kinds of cereal open right now.
I went through my bathroom closet last night and found 6 of the same shampoo- all were about 1/4 full or a little less. I combined them all and saved a nice chunk of room. I have a problem with going through a full conditioner bottle and having some shampoo left, so I buy them both new and put the one with a little left away in my closet thinking I'll use it some other time. I change shampoos and conditioners almost every time I buy, so I always want them to "match with the smell" otherwise it doesn't smell right to me...

I am up to this challenge. I have actually been in this mode for the last couple of weeks.

This past weekend we had friends over for a BBQ. My freezer was overflowing so I went through it before going shopping. I took out all of the meat items that had been in there for a while and decided to chop up everything into shish kabobs. We then just needed to buy some veggies- huge savings AND I cleared out half of my freezer!
