The train rotates in a circle. The one that I am on has 4 women/ 4 stops. When I get the train I take the ones out that I need. If I see some that are expired. or nearly, I take them out and throw them in the garbage. I then add to the envelope the coupons that I have saved but I am not going to use. Then I ship it to the next person on the list. The envelope seem to come back to me once a month. We also have a list that is put in the envelope of stuff each of us uses and doesn't use. This way we are not wasting postage. The rule is we can not keep the train for more then a week. If we leave for vacation we post it on the thread when we will be gone.
It does help a little bit but I do not depend on it to get my stockpile stuff. I like to use Target or CVS or Walgreens for most of my shopping. I get target coupons of their website...print as many as I want.... and I use the CVS extra bucks.

My biggest stockpile right now is brown rice. My grocery store started only carrying a version with chicken broth in it which my DH is allergic to. I saw the plain version at at another grocery store and bought every package of it. (A little overboard) We also stockpile 12-oz water bottles from Aldi.

My stockpile has been getting drain due to the holidays. I need to get back into the swing of things. I am running low on all sort of things. Right now my stockpile is mostly Kraft Mac & Cheese. I also have 25 bags of chocolate kissable and about another 15 bags of assorted chocolates marked down from x-mas. Taco stuff is probably third.

Where does everyone keep all their stockpiles? I love to stockpile and thought I did a decent job but after reading everything ya'll had, I realize that I'm not that great at it. So where do you put all the stuff? My cabinets are already overflowing!!!!

What I have done is came up with a way I could keep everthing separated but together in one spot. I went to Sams and grabbed a bunch of their stacking boxes...the thick ones and piled them on top of each other in the garage. Most of the food I get has so many preservatives in them they will not go bad. It keeps it organized and it is not all cluttered in my house. Bathroom accessories usually fit pretty well inside my bathroom closet so I do keep that stuff in the house.

LMAO! My dh would love it if I had a stockpile of hamburger helper! I'm a pretty good cook and like to cook good, different food but when I'm tired and I just make hamburger helper, dh is thrilled! What a dork!

Well, I have about 15 Oxiballs. I also have a ton of Clorox Wipes, Paper Towels and Dishwash soap and detergent thanks to half off Christmas packaging at Target.

All kinds of desserts and dessert mixes (which I totally do NOT need, LOL!). Also laundry detergent and deodorant.

I have toothpaste (about 7 tubes), conditioner, and rice stocked pretty well. Also, soups, canned fruit, and some boxed dinners that could get me through a rough week or two.
