Simply Organized: Creating & Maintaining Your Stockpile


Amanda from A Few Shortcuts has an amazing post on How to Organize Your Stockpile!  She gives you some great steps for how to get your stockpile started, tips to maintain it, and a sneak peak at her own stash of goodies!

I'll be honest - we don't have a stockpile - I told you were weren't extreme couponers!  We have a small cabinet under the counter that we use as our "overstock area" and we do have a very small pantry (a few shelves that really shouldn't be called a pantry).  That's it.  I would love to have a great stockpile someday, but our current house does not have the space.  We could definitely be creative and put shelved on our enclosed front porch or something, but then I would worry about the heat in the summer and the cold in the winter.  So, for now I stock up on items that we can use in 1-3 months and that fit in our given areas, but that's it!

I love Amanda's post, though, and it is giving me an urge to stockpile :).  I'll definitely be utilizing her tips once I get one going!
