I TOTALLY use this system to help build my food storage. I spend $200 in groceries a month for my family of 4, typically doing most of that shopping at Walmart. Then I set aside $50 for "stocking up" and have accumulated a TON of food storage in the last 6 months. It really works! You can save even more if you get multiple copies of the Sunday paper so you can stock up on even more items when there are great deals. Jodi´s last blog post..Gift #2: A Big Surprise!

Great post! I am at a point right now where we could easily live off of the pantry and freezer storage for two months...and that brings SO much peace of mind! Plus I never have to scramble to find something for dinner! SavvySuzie´s last blog post..Menu Plan Monday - Dec 15th

I'm curious to know about the picture. It looks like the canned goods are sitting on their side with some sort of special rails. Can you tell me more about this? I have my canned goods stacked on wire shelves and I'm always afraid they are going to fall.

Hmmm...I wonder if it's too late to ask for extra shelves for my storage closet for Christmas. Thanks for sharing, Hopefulone! Kira´s last blog post..Got my E*Trade Bonus!

I loved the comment you made about if you do not get weird looks while you are shopping, you are doing it wrong! I just started doing this coupon thing and last night in CVS, the cashier gave me a weird look when I asked if I could cash out my items in 3 seperate orders. I was simply rolling my ecb's and made out pretty good! One of my orders consisted of 4 (12) packs of Pepsi and it came to 1.49 and that was including .60 deposit on each pack!!!! I just laughed as I went out of the store! Tanya´s last blog post..I know I've said this before but . . .
