I am a coupon enthusiast and have a stockpile. My stockpile is not like the people on the show and I don’t really stock up much on food unless it can be frozen. I do have lots of TP and other HB items. The way I look at it is in today’s economy its best to have some things you use the most on hand. Before I started to coupon I mostly bought generic brands but now I find that I can buy name brands for a lot less that the generic . It also does not take too long to shop you have to realize that the people on the show do not shop that way all the time its more for the show . I am on a forum that is run by the man that did the donations for the troops and he said that he does not have the time to shop like that every day. It takes me about 4 hrs on Sunday to do my shopping but I am going to 4 to 5 stores . I shop 3 days out of the week . It is fun and have saved a lot of money and I love to save money.
I also have been donating to my moms church and to local womens shelters. I love to be able to give back more that anything.
