How is everyone doing with their challenge?

I decided to branch out from just the food pantry stockpile and work on other stockpiles I have (presents, school, laundry, etc!) and I am starting to get the stockpiles going again! Here is what I have gotten so far:

Laundry: Rite Aid has Tide (the 200 oz bottles) on sale for $10.99- they still had 2 of the "Big" bottles that are being phased out and had a $5 coupon attached to them (as an added bonus these bottles had an extra 33% more in them!)- so I got 2 huge bottles of Tide for $12.70 (with tax)!

BTS: Target had jeans on clearance for $2.48- I was able to get 2 pairs each for my girls ($9.92), Walmart had a pair of khaki pants for oldest for $3, Kohls had a bunch of things on clearance got youngest 1 outfit with interchangeable pieces (basically 4 outfts!) and oldest 2 shirts underwear for $14.88.

Pantry: So far I stocked up mac n cheese, Rice, cereal (probably will only last 2 months though!), popsicles, ketchup, hamburger. There is not too many deals going on right now- I will be hitting the farmers market this weekend and hopefully I will be able to start on the fresh veggie stockpile!

Present stockpile: so far I have 8 gifts to give at Christmas or birthday time. All these were found on sale or at a discount price at Tuesday Morning or Michaels.

CVS: Yesterday I walked out with a razor, blades, 2 cans of Pringles, hair coloring kit, and shaving cream for only $.68 after I used coupons and ECB. I might go back and buy more shaving cream because I have coupons to use.

Household supplies: I have enough toothpaste for us, but I'm on the lookout for the kid's toothpaste on sale then I'll buy more of that. I have coupons for Downy so I'm waiting to see if it goes on sale.

School stockpile: I have juice boxes and treats for lunches. I'm going to use the Pringles I bought at CVS as well for school lunches. For supplies I am waiting for crayons and markers to go on sale and then I'll stockpile those. I think I have enough pencils though.

Aldi's is going to have back to school supplies on sale and some clothes on sale next week.

Food: Yesterday at Aldi's I replenished my supply of canned fruit and granola bars. I'm waiting to find Hamburger Helper on sale and then I'll stock up. I'm waiting to see if we are going to be able to get in on buying part of a cow, if not I'll stock up again on hamburger when I see a good sale at Fareway on that. I have enough coffee, creamer, Prego and pasta in my pantry now. I also have coupons for the Kraft instant Mac and cheese so I'm waiting to see if that goes on sale as well.....if not it's cheaper to buy that at Aldi's as well.
